Tom Russell - Love Abides Chords

Love Abides
Recorded by Tom Russell & Iris Dement

Intro.:  |(D) |(G) |(A) |(D)

(Tom)
Hey, look how far we've (D)come, do we know who we (G)are?
Stranded on a (A)mountaintop trying to catch a falling (D)star

(Iris)
Here's to what we've left (D) behind us, here's to what we've kept (G) inside
May the road that lies (A) before us lead to a place where love (D)abides

(Tom)
I went walking with my (D)baby through the early morning (G)frost
Saw three crosses on the (A)roadside where three young souls (D)were lost

(Iris)
Guess, they're flying with the (D)angels, Jesus took 'em for a (G) ride
High above the Rio (A) Grande, they'll found a place where love (D) abides

(Chorus)
You may cross your barren (G)desert, you must walk your path a-(Bm)lone
But a sudden storm may (G)blind you, shake your spirit to the (A)bone
Seeking shelter for a (G)weary heart, somewhere to rest, somewhere to (Bm)hide
Then somewhere down that (G)troubled road, (A) you find a place where (D)love abides

Inst.:  |(D) |(G) |(A) |(D) | x 2

(Tom)
Our people came across the (D)water with their fearful untamed (G) hearts
Standing on a foreign (A)shoreline praying for a brand new (D) start

Hand in hand across (D) the mountains and the raging rivers (G) wide
'Til they reached the distant (A) ocean or found a place where (D)love abides

(Chorus)
You may cross your barren (G)desert, you might walk your path a-(Bm)lone
But a sudden storm may (G)blind you, shake your spirit to the (A)bone
Seeking shelter for a (G)weary heart, somewhere to rest, somewhere to (Bm)hide
Then somewhere down that (G)troubled road, (A) you find a place where (D)love abides

(Tom)
Hey, look how far we've (D)come, do we know who we (G)are?
Stranded on a (A)mountaintop trying to catch a falling (D)star -----
