Sun and Shield Peter Furler
Verse 1:
[G#m]Bitterness is a [A]fault line
[G#m]Envy's a golden [F#]calf
[G#m]Idols break when it [A]all shakes down
And [D#]split your heart in [G#m]half
You [G#m]weep you sweep up the [A]pieces
It's your [G#m]home, you take [F#]pride
But [G#m]once it's clean and [A]empty
My Lord is [D#]calling you [G#m]outside
Chorus:
[E]I lift up my [A]eyes, turn to the sun
[E]This is where [A]my help's coming from
[E]In the heights or the [A]battle
[F#]You're my Sun, my [E]Shield
Verse 2:
And [G#m]if the sun can [A]blind you
And [G#m]if a shield means [F#]war
And [G#m]if you give up [A]before you get up
What [D#]were you praying [G#m]for?
The [G#m]future's an open [A]window
[G#m]Set in corner[F#]stone
[G#m]Wash off the ash, [A]raise up the banner
[D#]This is your true [G#m]home
Chorus (2x):
[E]I lift up my eyes, [A]turn to the sun
[E]This is where my [A]help's coming from
[E]In the heights or the [A]battle
[F#]You're my Sun, my [E]Shield
(sung during the bridge and twice before:)
[F#]Oooooo[A]ooooo[G#m]ooh (my Sun, my Sun, my Shield)
Bridge:
[F#]Calling you out[A]side
Open your [G#m]eyes
[F#]Calling you out[A]side
Open your [G#m]eyes
[F#] [E]
Chorus:
[E]So lift up your [A]eyes, turn to the sun[E]
This is where [A]all help's coming [E]from
In the heights or the [A]battlefield
[F#]He's our Sun, our [E]Shield
[E]I lift up my [A]eyes, turn to the [E]sun
This is where [A]my help's coming [E]from
In the heights or the [A]battlefield
[F#]You're my Sun, my [E]Shield
[F#]You're my Sun, my [E]Shield
[F#]You're my Sun, my [E]Shield
[F#]You're my Sun, my [E]Shield
