verse 1: 

G                        D         G 
Well I lived in that town till I was 17 
       C                            G 
When I Moved to the mountains that rose from the sea 
       C                      G            Em 
Where they taught me to pray each and every day 
       G                D                   G 
Said if I didn't, the devil, he would take me 

verse 2: 

And so I threw my hands up and I spoke to the lord 
I said I'm a sinner an apocrphyal poet 
Seems that God wasn't near for no words did I hear 
Could it be I was talkin' to no one 

Chorus 

         C 
Please beware 
                           G 
In a mysterious way, God is here 
        C 
Please beware 
                                 G 
He's your pity, your pain, he's your fear 
 C             D                   G               Em 
Please remember my son, what I've taught you ain't much 
      G              D           G 
It is God who will take you from here 

Well I cannot deny that the Lord might exist 
But he ain't the problem to answers we missed 
Just don't base your whole life off of one bad disguise 
You never know behind which he's looking 

And if it is comfort or peace, in religion you seek 
And it makes you feel whole then it worked, don't ya think 
You can argue and scream, paint each other obsence 
But I have recently known, that it don't matter 

Please beware 
In a mysterious way, God is here 
Please beware 
He's your pity, your pain, he's your fear 
Please remember my son, what I've taught you ain't much 
It is God who will take you from here
