There's a blood red circle on the cold dark ground
                                  D      Em    D      C    G  
And the rain is falling down
                                                                Em                            C                                      G  
The church doors thrown open I can hear the organ's song
                                DEm                 C    G  
But the congregation's gone
                                  Em    C    G  
My city of ruins
                                  Em    C    G  
My city of ruins
G                                                            Em                                                         C                 G  
Now the sweet veils of mercy drift through the evening trees
                                                                D         Em                      D              C            G  
Young men on the corner like scattered leaves
                                             Em                            C                    G  
The boarded up windows, the empty streets
                                                  D         Em                 D      C    G  
While my brother's down on his knees
                                          Em         C    G  
My city of ruins
                                          Em         C    G  
My city of ruins
                     Em      C                                 D      G  
Come on rise up!    Come on rise up!
                     Em      C                                 D      G  
Come on rise up!    Come on rise up!
                     Em      C                                 D      G  
Come on rise up!    Come on rise up!
(repeat intro)
G                                                            Em                                      C                 G  
Now there's tears on the pillow darling where we slept
                                          D         Em                      D         C                 G  
And you took my heart when you left
                                                             Em                         C                      G  
Without your sweet kiss my soul is lost, my friend
                                                D         Em            D         C         G  
Now tell me how do I begin again?
                                Em         C    G  
My city's in ruins
                                Em         C    G  
My city's in ruins
G                                      Em              C                         G  
Now with these hands,    with these hands
G                            Em              C                         G  
With these hands,    with these hands
(I pray Lord)
G                            Em              C                         G  
With these hands,    with these hands
(I pray for the strength Lord)
                     Em      C                                 D      G
