Hills of Morning - chords, tab and comments


Bruce Cockburn has been called "Canada's best preserved secret" - so he maybe was for many years. But after 40 years in business and a pile of quality productions, he's not a secret no more. He's just hardly accessible for people with less skill in music than himself - he requires concentration listening to, and most of the time his songs are impossible to play. This one, from album "Dancing in the Dragons Jaws", is an exception.

underneath the mask of the sulphur sky
A                    A9  A
a bunch of us were busy waiting
A                           F#m     A9    A
watching the people looking ill at ease
A                     Asus4               A
watching the fraying rope get closer to breaking

D                  B7sus4    A
let me be a little of your breath
D                B7sus4      A
moving over the face of the deep
D                 B7sus4         F#m
I want to be a particle of your light
E                Esus4       A
flowing over the hills of morning
