Chords for My Soul - Peter Mayer

[C] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ There are [Cm] a hundred billion [F] snowflakes [Bb] swirling [Eb] in the cosmic storm
[Bb] _ _ And each one is a galaxy, _ _ a billion stars or more
And [Cm] each star is [Bb] a million Earths, [Eb] a giant fiery sun
[Bb] _ _ High up in some sky, _ maybe shining [F] on _ _ [Cm] _ _
someone
[F] And _ _ [Gm] _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] deep inside [F] a [Bb] snowflake eye, [Eb] _
floating quietly
_ [Bb] I am _ _ infinitesimal, _ _ _ impossible to see
_ _ Sitting in my tiny kitchen, [Eb] in my tiny [Bb] home
_ _ Staring out my window _ at a [F] universe _ _ [Bb] of _ _ snow
But _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] my soul is so much bigger _ _ [C] than the very tiny me
[Bb] _ Reaches [Eb] out into the _ snowstorm _ [Bb] like a net into the sea
_ Out to all the lovely places _ where [C] my body cannot go
[Bb] I touch that [Eb] beauty and embrace it in [Bb] the bosom of my soul
_ _ [C] And so brief and fleeting is [Gm] this [Eb] tiny life of mine
_ _ _ [Bb] Like a single quarter note in [F] the march of time
[C] But my soul is like the music, _ [Gm] [Eb] goes back to ancient _ days
[Bb] Back before it wore a human face, [F] long before it bore _ _ [Cm] my _ _ _ name
_ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ Because [Bb] my soul is so much older _ than [C] the _ evanescent me
[Bb] It can [Eb] describe the dawn of time like [Bb] a childhood memory
_ It is a spark that was _ _ begotten of [C] the darkness long [Bb] ago
What [Eb] my body has forgotten _ [Bb] I remember in my _ _ _ [F]
soul
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ So [Bb] we live this life together, _ [F] a giant soul and tiny me
[Bb] [Eb] One _ resembling forever, one [Bb] like smoke upon the breeze
_ One the deep abiding ocean, _ [C] one a sudden flashing wave
And [Eb] counting galaxies like _ snowflakes, [Bb] I would swear we were the same
Oh my soul belongs to beauty, takes [C] me up to [F] lofty heights
_ [Eb] Teaches sacred stories to me, _ [Bb] sanctifies my tiny life
_ Lays a bridge across the ages, melts [C] the boundaries of my bones
And [Eb] paints a bold eternal face on [Bb] this passing moment
_ Oh _ [Cm] my _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] soul
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
