[A] [D] [Bm]
[D] It's enough to drive a man crazy
It'll break a man's [A] faith
[D] It's enough [G] to make him wonder
If he's ever [D] been sane
When he's [G] bleeding for comfort
from my [Bm] staff and I ride in the heavens [A] only
answer is the
Silence of [D] God [Bm]
[D] and it'll shake a man's timbers
When he loses his heart
[F#m] [A] when he has to [C#] remember
[Bm] What [D] broke him apart?
This [G] yoke may be easy, but this [Bm] burden Is not
When the crying fields are [A] frozen by the [D] silence of God
[F#m]
If a [Bm] man has got [F#m] to listen
to [G] the [D] voices of the
[F#m] Who [Bm] are reeling in [A] the throes of [Em] all the [G] happiness [D] they've done
[Bm] When they tell you all [A] their troubles have been [G] nailed up to that [D] cross
[Em] What about the [D] times when [G] even?
Followers get lost [D] cuz we [G] all get lost sometimes
[D] There's a statue of Jesus
On a monastery no
in the hills of [Bm] Kentucky
all quiet and [A] cold
He's [D] kneeling in the garden
Silent has a stone
All his friends [G] are sleeping [D] knees weeping [G]
[Am] all alone
[D] and the man of all [G] sorrows
He never
[Bm] forgot
What sorrow [A] is carried by the hearts that he [D] bought?
so when the questions [G] dissolve
into the [A] silence [Bm] of God
The aching may [A] remain
The breaking [D]
does not
aching may [G] remain
Breaking [D] does not in the holy
[A] lonesome echo the silence of [D] God
