History Book Lyrics

INTRO:
VERSE: Play this twice for verses 1 and 2 after the intro.
CHORUS:
As heavy as a history book can be,
I will carry it with me, oh Lord.
And maybe when the bitterness has gone,
There'll be sweetness on our tongues once more.
VERSE 3: Play the verse tab once.
CHORUS: Same as before.
BRIDGE:
We'll soon forget our parents' names,
Like dogs will drive the wolves away.
And weep with fingertips opposed,
Like a church where nobody congregates.
OUTRO VERSE:
But sweetness sings in the pasture,
We throw ourselves on the mercy of the earth.
If sand and salt have the answer,
Then the act itself will be louder than the word.
And I'll be on your side, and I'll be on your side.
And I'll be on your side, and I'll be on your side.
Am F G C goes on for the rest of the song
Joe
