Chords for Peter Gabriel : I Grieve 2002 9/11 Tribute

_ _ We conclude tonight's special edition of Larry King weekend with a performance from musician and human rights activist Peter Gabriel.
The song he's going to do for us is I Grieve.
It's from a new album Up to be released September 24th.
It's eloquent, emotional and an appropriate close to this show.
Peter joins us from his studio in his hometown of Bath, England.
Peter, thanks very much for being with us.
Hi Larry. _
I've always been interested in the way people use songs like an emotional tool kit.
And I felt that there wasn't really a song that I had to do with grief and _ tried to write that with this piece.
On September 11th, both my daughters were living in Tribeca, just south of Canal Street.
And so when the news hit and then no telephones were working, I remember the sick feeling in my stomach and the relief when I did hear from my daughter.
_ And I can only imagine a little of what it might be like _ not to have heard anything.
_ So this is for those people and it's called I Grieve.

In _ _ _ [A] _ [Am] the rot and the rust
_ _ _ In the ashes and the dust
_ _ _ Life carries on [F] and on
And [C] _ [G] on and on
Life [Am] carries on and [F] on
And on and [C] on
_ _ _ [G] Just to call the [Am] blue light in
_ _ [F] _ The home we [C] reside in
_ [G] The place that [Am] we hide in
_ _ The way [C] we are tied in
[G] _ _
Life [Am] carries on _ [F] and on
And [C] _ on [G] and on
Life [Am] carries on [F] and on
And [G] on and _ on _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] Did I dream _ this [G] feeling
_ Or _ _ _ [F] did I _ believe _ [G] this dream _ _ _ _ _
[F] Now I can't find _ [G] relief _ _ _ _ _
[A] I _ _ _ _ _ grieve
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
