Tuning is in DADGad

This version has six basic parts: riff 1, verse, riff 2, chorus, bridge and outro. The strumming pattern is
different, so I won't try to model it.

Chord names are likely inaccurate but close.

[VERSE 1]

I've [G2]been waiting for the[D] sun
To co[G]me blazing up out of th[A]e night like a bullet from[D] a gun
Till [G]every shadow is sc[A]attered, every dragon's [B]on the run
Oh, I[G] believe, I believe that the light is gonna c[A]ome [Asus]
And t[G]his is the dark, this [A]is the dark before the [D]dawn

[VERSE 2]
I've[G2] been waiting for some p[D]eace
To c[G]ome raining down out of [A]the heavens on these war-[D]torn fields
All [G]creation is aching for t[A]he sons of God to be r[B]evealed
Oh, [G]I believe, I believe that the vi[A]ctory is [Asus]sealed
The [G]serpent struck but it was [A]crushed beneath His[D] heel

Blow that s[D]torm away

[VERSE 3]

So I[G2]'m waiting for the [D]King
To come gal[G]loping out of the clo[A]uds while the angel a[D]rmies sing
He's gonna gat[G]her His people in t[A]he shadow of His[B] wings
And I'm g[G]onna raise my voice w[A]ith the song of the red[B]eemed
'Cause all [G]this darkness is a small and passing[A] thing [Asus] [A]

[BRIDGE]

This is [B]the storm, this is the storm
The stor[A]m before the calm
This is [G]the pain, the p[A]ain before the[Asus] balm
This is [B]the cold, the cold
It's the[A] cold before the warm
These ar[G]e the tears, the tears [A]before the song
This is [G]the dark
Sometime[A]s all I see is this[G] darkness
Well, [A]can't you fee[G]l the darkness
This is th[A]e dark before th[D]e dawn

[INTERLUDE]

[D]I'm j[A/D]ust waiting fo[G]r a change

[OUTRO]

I ha[D]d a dream that I was waking
At t[A/D]he burning edge of dawn
And [G]I could see the fields of glory
I co[A]uld hear the sower's song
I ha[D]d a dream that I was waking
At t[A/D]he burning edge of dawn
And [G]all that rain had washed me clean
All [A]the sorrow was gone
I ha[D]d a dream that I was waking
At t[A/D]he burning edge of dawn
And I[B] could finally believe
The k[A]ing had loved me all along
I had[D] a dream that I was waking
At th[A/D]e burning edge of dawn
I saw[G] the sower in the silver mist
And H[A]e was calling me h[D]ome
