_ I surrendered to the light I surrendered to the light
I surrendered [C] to the senseless [Dm] fighting I surrendered [C] to the senseless [Dm] light
Over top of yonder mountain [D] _ Old [Dm] ones live where the rainbow ends
I took a drink from the holy fountain Down where the river _ _ _ [Bb] bends
The further I followed [C] this fallen path [Dm] The more I [G] trusted in the [Bb] spirit
