G Am
There are ghosts out in the rain tonight, high up in those ancient trees,
D/F# G
And I have given up with - out a fight, another blind fool on her knees,
G Am
And all the gods that I've abandoned, begin to speak in simple tongue,
D/F# G Gsus4 G
And, suddenly, I've come to know...that there are no roads left to run!
G Am
Now it's the hour of dogs a - barking, that's what the old ones used to say,
D/F# G Gsus4 G
It's first light, or it's sundown, before the children cease their play,
G Am
And when the mountains glow like mission wine, or turn grey like a Spanish roan,
D/F# G Gsus4 G
Ten thousand eyes will stop to worship, then turn away, and head for home!
C G
And she is reaching out her arms tonight, and, yes, my poverty is real,
Am (Am/G) D/F# G Gsus4 G
I pray roses shall rain down again... from Guadalupe, on her hill,
C G (Gsus4) (G)
And, who am I to doubt these mysteries, cured in centuries of blood, and candle smoke?
Am (Am/G) D/F# G Gsus4 G
I am the least of all your pilgrims here, but I am most in need of hope!
G Am D/F#

G Am
She appeared to Jaun Di - ego, she left her image on his cape,
D/F# G Gsus4 G
Five hundred years of sorrow...cannot destroy their deepest faith,
G Am
So, here I am, your ragged disbeliever, a doubting Thomas drowns in tears,
D/F# G Gsus4 G
As I watch your church sink through the earth, like a heart worn down through fear!
C G
And she is reaching out her arms tonight, and, yes, my poverty is real,
Am (Am/G) D/F# G Gsus4 G
I pray roses shall rain down again... from Guadalupe, on her hill,
C G (Gsus4) (G)
And, who am I to doubt these mysteries, cured in centuries of blood, and candle smoke?
Am (Am/G) D/F# G Gsus4 G
I am the least of all your pilgrims here, but I am most in need of hope,
Am (Am/G) D/F# G Gsus4 G
I am the least of all your pilgrims here, but I am most in need of hope!
