The Gray Havens

Shadows Of The Dawn

The Gray Havens


Tom: C

C                 Em/C      Am
A world away and still not far
C                 Em/C  Am
Like fabric woven into ours
     F
The dawn, it shot out through the night
                     C
And day is coming soon

C                    Em/C    Am
The kingdom of the morning star
C                      Em/C   Am
Can pierce a cold and stony heart
     F
It’s grace went through me like a sword
                    C
And came out like a song
    F
Now I’m just waiting for the day
                      C     G
In the shadows of the dawn


[Chorus]
    C                        F
But I won’t wait, resting my bones
                            C
I’ll take these foolishness roads of grace
                   G
And run toward the dawn
    C                             F
And when I rise and dawn turns to day
                            C
I’ll shine as bright as the sun
                          G
And these roads that I’ve run, will be wise


[Verse]
      C                 Em/C        Am
It’s veiled and stands behind the shroud
     C                Em/C  Am
The final day when trumpets sound
     F
Sometimes I glimpse into the fog
                    C
And listen for the song
     F
Til then I’m waiting for the day
                       C     G
In the shadows of the dawn


[Chorus]
    C                        F
But I won’t wait, resting my bones
                            C
I’ll take these foolishness roads of grace
                   G
And run toward the dawn
    C                             F
And when I rise and dawn turns to day
                            C
I’ll shine as bright as the sun
                          G
And these roads that I’ve run


[Chorus]
    C                        F
But I won’t wait, resting my bones
                            C
I’ll take these foolishness roads of grace
                   G
And run toward the dawn
    C                             F
And when I rise and dawn turns to day
                            C
I’ll shine as bright as the sun
                          G
And these roads that I’ve run, will be wise
