Intro: G 

verse 1 
G 
Praise the mountain and the rain 
D        G                C     Am 
All the gifts that still remain 
G 
But the greatest gift of all 
D        G             C    Am 
And the law above all laws 

       G          Am           C 
Is to love your friends and lovers 
         G        Am           C 
To lay down your life for your brothers 
 G       C 
As you abide in peace 
G                 C 
So will your delight increase 

verse 2 
G 
As the mystery of the cross 
                     C      Am 
Asa Lovejoy lost the toss 
G 
And the fountain in the rain 
D         G              C     Am 
Where my sorrow still remains 

      G          F          C 
So I run to my friends and lovers 
        G      F           C 
I lay down my life for my brothers 
       G   F  ? 
As I abide in peace 
Em          G        F   C 
So will my delight increase
