verse 1, 0:04, Intro is silent 

 F               G          Am 
 Sorrow came to visit us today. 
          F           G           Am 
 Was the longest day,    was the loneliest day. 
    F                G              Am 
 Sorrow came to steal our hope away. 
            F            G           Am 
 Only tears can tell,    of this holy hour. 



 F        E/G#       Am        G/B  C   F 
    This mountain's high, too high for us. 
          E/G#       Am        G/B  C   F 
 This mountain's high, too high for us.

 Too high. 


verse 2, 0:56 

 F               G          Am 
 Sorrow came quicker than a fire. 
             F           G           Am 
 Was the longest day,    was the loneliest day. 
 F                      G                     Am 
 I feel your hand, the warmth, your sweetest smile. 
           F           G                 Am 
 But you slipped away,    through the great divide.
