Intro 
C   G/B   Am   F 
G   F/A   G/B  C 
 
 
Verse I 
  C                G/B             Am 
A genuine soul to dwell on baleful grounds 
F                  G 
Glances wandering around 
       F/A       G/B   C 
In the darkness of the world 
                     G/B              Am 
Clouds have closed a ring around the sky 
          F                   G 
While the old ones hear the chimes 
            F/A     G/B     C     G11/B   C   G7 
Through the darkness of the world 
 
 
Verse II 
C            G/B         Am 
  A genuine man will realize 
        F             G 
He must fawn upon the times 
         F          G      C    Csus4 
While he shouldn't waste a word 
C           G/B          Am 
  Tender feet on stoney ground 
        F                 G 
See the young ones stray around 
            F       G       C    Csus4 
Through the darkness of the world 
 
 
Pre-Chorus I 
Ab      Bb            Gm       Ab 
Sacred heart will you usher me now 
 
For I'll carry the lantern your way 
                  Bb 
For I'll bring us home 
 
Eb 
Dark is the night, scarlet the moon 
Ab                      Cm     Gm         Ab 
Sacred the light in the haze reflecting within 
    Cm      Bb 
Blazing the trail 
Ab Bb    Eb 
Be still my restless heart, obsidian's the sky 
Ab                     Cm       Gm           Ab 
Inward you look as you halt, be still restless heart 
     Cm   Bb           Ab  Bb Eb 
I'm on my way, under obsidian skies 
 
Verse III 
C              G/B              Am 
  Wake to the sound of passing time 
    F             G            F         G     C     G7 
How could I quantify it in the darkness of the world 
C             G/B         Am 
  Wake to the shadow of a dream 
F                   G 
Nothing's what it seems 
        F        G        C           Csus4 
As you brave the darkness of the world 
 
Pre-Chorus II 
Ab               Bb            Gm           Ab 
Ghost lights and matter you'll know what is real 
                                                     Bb 
Perception and fact - all the same. Truth's what you feel 
 
Eb 
Dark is the night, scarlet the moon 
Ab                      Cm     Gm         Ab 
Sacred the light in the haze reflecting within 
    Cm      Bb 
Blazing the trail 
Ab Bb    Eb 
Be still my restless heart, obsidian's the sky 
Ab                     Cm       Gm           Ab 
Inward you look as you halt, be still restless heart 
     Cm   Bb           Ab  Bb Eb 
I'm on my way, under obsidian skies 
 
Bridge I 
        Ab           Bb             Gm          Cm 
And the wind and the rain that were shaking the pane 
     Ab 
move onward along with the clouds 
                     Bb         Gm            Cm 
And you're gazing in awe at the ghost lights above 
      Ab 
as if stars cut their way through the shroud 
Bb 
On and on and on...

Bridge II 
Ebsus4  Eb      Ab    Cm 
Moon    shines, ghost lights 
Bb        Gm           Ab 
  Oh they reach out for you 
                                 Eb 
Blazing the trail under obsidian skies 
 
Eb 
 Dark is the night, scarlet the moon 
Ab                      Cm     Gm           Ab

Be still my restless heart, obsidian's the sky

Inward you look as you halt, be still restless heart 
     Cm   Bb               Ab  Bb Eb 
I'm on my way (I'm under obsidian skies) 
 
Eb 
 Dark is the night, scarlet the moon 
Ab                      Cm     Gm           Ab 
Sacred the light in the haze reflecting within 
    Cm      Bb 
Blazing the trail 
Ab Bb    Eb 
Be still my restless heart, obsidian's the sky 
Ab                     Cm       Gm           Ab 
Inward you look as you halt, be still restless heart 
     Cm   Bb 
I'm on my way
