Intro: Em D/F# G6 D/F#
Verse 1:
Faithful reasons still unknown
Like Bleak House fog seems everywhere
The truth has faded into stone
Em D/F# G6 First verse: D/F# Second verse: Asus4
And hope lies freezing in the midnight air
Bridge: (just play the chords)
Though dark our days may seem
This is a diff'rent dream
Their freedom light don't shine at all
Chorus:
So I will light a candle for you
And keep it burning in the night
And pray that you're all right
I will light a candle for you
A little candle burning bright
Verse 2:
When schoolyard heroes disappear
The little girl she stands alone
Oh I believe you if you say
A prayer can help to get her home (yeah)
