Tom: Am
G
The day dawned in confusion
A
Like a nightmare with no end
D A
Tired and dreary colors
C G
Ragged hopes that wouldn't mend
The grief and fear of death
A
Just seemed to hang across the sky
D
And the pain just kept on burnin'
G
Though the tears had all been cried
[Verse 2]
We were talkin' as we journeyed
A
Toward a quiet country town
D
When another traveler asked us
C G
Why we seemed so sad and down
It was like a dam had burst inside
A
As I spoke my grief and woe
G Am
Amazed that someone leavin' there
D G
Could somehow still not know
[Verse 3]
Em
But the traveler called us foolish men
A
And dull and slow of heart
F
And he showed us from the Scriptures
D
God had planned it from the start
Em Bm
But it wasn't till the evening
Am
That our eyes were opened there
C
And we knew that it was Jesus
G
But He vanished in the air
[Verse 4]
Em
We rushed back to Jerusalem
A
To tell the others there
F
They said "we have seen Him too"
D
There was excitement everywhere
Em
Nearly shouting to each other
Am
As the realization grew
C Am C Am
When all at once He spoke to us
D A D
"Peace be unto you"
[Verse 5]
E
We started back in terror
A
For His radiance filled the place
F
The light was all around Him
D
And was shining from His face
E
But then He smiled a smile of love
Am
That left no cause for doubt
C
And then because He knew our hearts
D G
He spoke our feelings out
[Verse 6]
"Why are you so troubled?
A
Why are you in fear?
D C
See My hands and see My feet
G
I Myself am here
Reach out now and handle Me
A
Until you've all been shown
D
My life is more than spirit
G
For I'm here in flesh and bone"
[Verse 7]
Em
Some lifted hands toward heaven
A
And then knelt without a sound
F
Some just stood and stared at Him
D
As if rooted to the ground
Em
But I could not contain the joy
Am
That flooded heart and soul
C Am
It came rushing out in praises
G D Bm
I had no wish to control!
