Chord/Tab song: Villanelle for Our Time

From bitter searching of the heart,
Quickened with passion and with pain
We rise to play a greater part
This is the faith from which we start:
Am7 Men shall know commonwealth again from bitter searching of the heart We loved the easy and the
Fmaj7 smart, but now, with keener hand and brain, we rise
Cmaj7 to play a greater part The lesser loyalties depart, and neither race nor
Fmaj7 creed remain from bitter searching of the heart Not steering by the
Am7 venal chart that tricked the mass for private gain, we rise
Fmaj7 to play a greater part Reshaping narrow law and art whose symbols
Cmaj7 are the millions slain, from bitter searching of the heart we rise to play
Fmaj7 a greater part
