This next song is one of my personal favorites.
It's a story about a real-life hero
who grew up through much trouble and
turbulence in his life
But all he ever gave out
Was the good in his heart and the love that he felt
This is the ballad of Jeremiah
He
[Dm]
[Bb]
[A]
stares [Dm] out the window
Blank as a canvas
Made up [Bb] in the sunlight [A] Swirling smoke
Waits [Dm] for a breath now
Taking his time
He sees [Bb] an eternity
[A] In the blink of an eye
[Gm] And for him this life is made of time and [A] choices
An endless blend [Gm] of vistas painted bright with memories
[A] Here and now [Bb] we'll bow to him to only serve one [C] purpose
To keep [Dm] your peace
[Gm] He takes on the world all [C] in a stride
And your wounds will be [Dm] his scars
So won't you remember when the [G] night comes
He will need your [Gm] open arms
For to be [A] invincible
He needs [Dm] your love
[Bb]
[A]
Standing [Dm] in the doorway
Quiet like yesterday
[Bb] With forgotten thoughts become a mystery
[A] And nightmares locked away
He looks [Dm] like a gone man
But his view is much too wide
For such [Bb] a solution
So he fights
Without [A] a six-gun on his side
[Bb] And all the wily [Gm] stars and moons shine [A] brightly
Outside the desert [Bb] wails a curse [Gm] of rage and [E] jealousy
[A] Yet tomorrow [Bb] comes along
And shifts to serve [C] his purpose
To keep [Dm] your peace
He
[Gm] takes on the world all in [C] a stride
And your wounds will be [Dm] his scars
So won't you remember when the [G] night comes
He will need your [Gm] open arms
For to be invincible
[A] He needs [Dm] your love
[Gm] He takes on the world all in a [C] stride
And your wounds will be [Dm] his scars
So won't you remember when [G] the night comes
He will need your open [Gm] arms
For to be [A] invincible
He needs [Dm] your love
He [Bb] [Em] [A]
[Dm]
[Bb] [Em] [A]
[Gm]
[Eb]
[D]
[Am] takes on the world all in a [D] stride
And your wounds will be [Em] his scars
So won't you remember when the [A] night comes
He will need your [Am] open arms
For to be [Gbm] invincible
[B]
He needs your [Em] love
[A] [Gbm] [A]
[Am] For to be [B] invincible
He [Em] needs your love
