Forgave myself [Db] for what didn't matter
[Eb] God [Fm]
said, Cain, where is your brother?
[Fm] And who will tell [Db] his grieving mother?
[Ab] Jacob dreamt an [Db] angel called his name [Ab]
And he never [Db] was quite the same
[Db] [Fm] We [Db] live our lives [Ab] from then [Eb] until now [Fm] By the [Db] mercies received [Ab] or the mark [Eb] upon our brow
