Intro: Em D/F# G6 D/F#
Em D/F# G6 Asus4

Verse 1:

Em D/F# G6 D/F#
Faithful reasons still unknown
Em D/F# G6 Asus4
Like Bleak House fog seems everywhere
Em D/F# G6 D/F#
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)

Am7 D
Though dark our days may seem
Gmaj7 Em
This is a diff’rent dream
F#m7-5 B7 Em E
Their freedom light don’t shine at all


Chorus:

Cmaj7 D Cmaj7 D
So I will light a candle for you
Cmaj7 D Cmaj7
And keep it burning in the night
D
And pray that you’re all right
Cmaj7 D Cmaj7 D
I will light a candle for you
Cmaj7 D Cmaj7 D
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)
