Sandra McCracken - Dynamite

Capo: 4th fret

[Intro]
G C G

[Verse 1]
G C G
I had a dream that the mountains cried like a child for their mother
G C G
There was poison in the seam and I saw eastern Tennessee flooding under
Bm
Black the hope, the Holy Ghost
Am G
a deaf man hears inaudible thunder
Bm Am
The hush, the chill, the iron will of man
Am C D C G
Sweeping everything in sight…with dynamite

[Verse 2]

G C G
I had a child and her spirit was like wild horses running
G C G
Unbridled and free, she was not the same as me, her engine gunning
Bm Am
Make what you will or what you won’t
Am G
You may play a part
Bm Am
As the leaf bends and leans toward the light
Am C D C G
Oh the heart takes what it wants…like dynamite.

[Chorus]

G Bm Em C
Those who have ears, as the smoke it clears
G Bm Em C
will see things as they are
G Bm Em C
to bend the will, you first must change the heart.
G Bm Em C

[Verse 3]
G C G
I dreamed I heard the sound of the last ‘Great God bird’ singing
G C G
Lying in the trees I could hear the ax machines that were ringing
Bm Am G
This is like a fable to be told but I’d rather put it down
Bm Am
Will we choose the noise of our desire,
Am C D C G
Or the hope that makes no sound? Like dynamite

[Chorus]

G Bm Em C
Those who have ears, as the smoke it clears
G Bm Em C
will see things as they are
G Bm Em C
to bend the will, you first must change the heart.
G Bm Em C

[Outro]
G C G
desire, desire, desire like dynamite (repeat to fade out)
