[A] I walked [Bm] through the ruins
[C] Icons of [F#] glory [Bm] smashed
[E] By the bombs from [Am] above
[D] So we must [G] love

In [A] a dusty [Bm] cathedral
[C] The living God [F#] called
And I [Bm] prayed for my [E] life

[G] There are mountains [C] in Switzerland _ _
[G] Brilliant cold [C] as they stand
[Am] My [Bm] hotel room
[C] Watching the [F#m] half moon [Bm] bleeding
[E] It's light [Am] like a [D] lamp _
[G] _ And the town is _ [C] illumined _
[G] Its tiny figures are [C] fast asleep _
[Am] And it [Bm] dawns on me
[C] The time is [F#m] upon me
[Bm] To return to the flock I must [Am] keep
[D] So we must [G] love
While these moments are still called [C] today
Take part in the [Cm] pain of this [Bm] passion play
