Lost Unto This World Chords & Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

[INTRO]
[C]Hmm [E]hmm [F]hmm [C]hmm, hmm [E]hmm [F]hmm [C]hmm

I was [C]once some mother's [E]darlin', some [F]daddy's little [C]girl
More precious than the [E]ruby, more [F]cherished than the [C]pearl
My [E]heart was full of [C]mercy and my [E]forehead full of [C]curl
[Dm]Now I am [F]nothing and am lost unto this world

[CHORUS]
I am [C]lost unto this [E]world, I am [F]lost unto this [C]world
I am lost unto this [E]world, I am [F]lost unto this [C]world

They [C]herded me like [E]cattle, [F]cut me down like [C]corn
Took me from my [E]babies be- [F]fore they could be [C]born
You can [E]blame it on the [C]famine, you can [E]blame it on the [C]war
You can [Dm]blame it on the [F]devil, it don't matter anymore

[CHORUS]

I am [C]lost unto this [E]world, I am [F]lost unto this [C]world
I am lost unto this [E]world, I am [F]lost unto this [C]world

I was [C]tortured in the [E]desert, I was [F]raped out on the [C]pain
I was murdered by the [E]high way and my [F]cries went up in [C]vain
My [E]blood is on the [C]mountain, my [E]blood is on the [C]sand
My [Dm]blood runs in the [F]river that now washes thru their hands

[Repeat Chorus]
I am [C]lost unto this [E]world, I am [F]lost unto this [C]world
I am lost unto this [E]world, I am [F]lost unto this [C]world

Oh, [F]can I get no witness this un- [C]holy tale to [E]tell
Was God the [Dm]only one there [F]watching and weeping as l fell

[C]Hmm [E]hmm [F]hmm [C]hmm, hmm [E]hmm [F]hmm [C]hmm

Oh, [C]you among the [E]living, will you re- [F]member me at [C]all
Will you write my [E]name out with a [F]single finger [C]scrawl
A- [E]cross a broken [C]window in some [E]long forgotten [C]wall
That goes [Dm]stretching out for- [F]ever where the [Fb9]tears of heaven fall
