               D            Fm 
Well The good lord is such a good lord 
             Bm   A      G 
With such a good mother too  
         D 
They have blessed me 
         Fm 
They have blessed me 
      Bm    A         G 
In the good graces of you 
D        Fm           Bm      A    G 
I have heard a hundred violins  crying 
D            Fm          Bm          A   G  
And I have seen a hundred white Doves flying 
  
     D            Fm 
But nothing is as beautiful 
               Bm 
As when she believes  
            A   
when she believes  
            G 
when she believes  
            D  
when she believes  
            A         D  A  Bm G  D  A 
when she believes in me  
  
  
D               Fm 
How good it must feel 
        Bm     A    G 
To be so young and free 
    D                      Fm 
And a song that pleases a queen 
 Bm              G  
Will always please me 
D       Fm        Bm    A    G 
I have heard the wisest of wisdom 
    D  Fm            Bm      A    G 
And I have dined in palaces and kingdoms 
  
  
+ Refrain 
  
D           Fm 
Now all of life 
       Bm      A    G 
Is just passing the time 
   D         Fm 
Until once again 
     Bm        A     G 
Your eyes look into mine 
D      Fm      Bm     A     G 
I have been adored by a stranger 
    D       Fm       Bm      A G 
And I have heard the whispering angel 
  
+ Refrain
