The Dove Chords by The Hoppers

_ _ [D#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ [A#] _ Roni [C] wrote it in a brand new song and [Am] I believe it will bless your heart tonight.
We'll [F] listen to every [A#] word of the girl.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
The earth _ was corrupted, _ _ _ [G] so _ [Cm] God _ _ interrupted.
_ [Fm] _ _ _
He [Cm] had _ _ repented _ [F] _ _ of all He had [Gm] _
made.
[C] _ Well, in [A#] Noah _ was [F]
summer, _ [Gm] _ _ _ [G#]
the flood [Gm] was soon coming.
_ _ [F] _ When [Gm]
all [F] that was _ [Gm]
breathing _ [F] _ _ would be _ [A#] washed _ away.
_ [F#] _ _ _
In [B] desperate _ _ manner, _ _ _ [C] the stalls [C#m] and the _ [E] _
hathas [F#] _ _ _
worked [C#m] day and _ night.
_ [F#] _ _ _ [D#m] _
_ _ _ Building [G#m] _
canals, [E] _ _ he _ [B] pleaded with _ [D#m] _
sinners.
[G#m] _ _ _ [C]
It's finished [C#m] now, _ [E]
hinder.
_ [F#] _ _ [E] Then God [F#] shut the [E] door _ [F#] and _ they drowned [B] _ in the dark.
_ [A] After _ _
_ _ [E] the _ rains _ fell [B] and after [A] the _ floods _ _ [B] _ swelled, _
Noah [F#m] _ _ [A] _
decided _ [B] _ _ to look [G#m] for [C#m] dry land.
_ [F#m] _ So he opened _ [E] the _ [G#m]
window.
_ [C#m] _ _ _ [B]
His face [F#m] felt the [E] sun _ [B] glow.
[A] Then he clung the [B] dove _ _ [F#m] _
_ [B] skyward _ right out [E] of his _ _ hand.
[C] _ _ _
For months with [F] no sign _ of [Dm] _ _ [F#] that one [Gm] little white [Dm] _
_ [A#] [C] dove,
_ _ [A#]
Noah [C] thought _ God _ had _ _ _ completed his _ [Dm] _
plan.
[Gm] _ Oh, [A#]
he saw [F] the _ [Am] rainbow, _ _ [Dm] _ but [C]
where did [Gm] the [A#] dove go?
_ [C] _ _ [A#] So pure [C] was her _ [Gm] _
nature, [C] _ _ _ _
_ [F] could she last?
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ [A#m]
Demons _ [F#] _ diminished, [G] the earth _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#] washed. _
Still there [G#m] was but one [B] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _
saint.
_ [Am] _ _ [C] They may not [G] _ _ [Bm] leave _ [Em] us, but when _ [Am] asked _ [G] Jesus,
_ _ [D] _ _ [C] That same [D] holy one, _ [C] _
_ _ [D] _ _ it descended.
_ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [G]
Sweet [C] Holy _ _ Spirit, _ _ _ _ dove of [G] pure water, _ _ _ _ _ _
we've [D] never _ _ witnessed
_ _ _ Your wings in [G] full _ floss,
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ rock _ _ _ _ _ in the flood of [Em] our sin. _
_ _ [C] _ Now you're nesting [G] in _ us, _ _ _ cause [D] you love, _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
it's not [C] a _ joy.
_ _ _ _ Still the _ [G] purest of men, _ _ _ _ _ _ someday we [D] shall fly.
[Em] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [G#] _ _ _ _
We [C#] will _ make waves, _ _ _ no pain can [Fm] hold _ _
_ _ [C#] _ us. _
[Fm] [C#] Sweet [G#] _ _ _ _
_ Holy _ [D#] Spirit, dove of pure water, we've never witnessed
_ [G#] _ _ _ _ _
