(Some Trust In) Chariots

From Beaucatcher Farewell

Music and lyrics © 1979 Bob Zentz

When the night is a curtain of velvet blue (D-G)
And a falling star splits the sky in two (A-D)
Orion smiles and Ezekiel knew (D-G-Em)
That a chariot would carry him home (A-D)

    Let the wheels in the sky go ‘round and ‘round
    Let the sun and the moon go up and down
    Let the singing stars be my glory crown
    And the chariot’s gonna carry me home

2. On all the stars like grains of sand
On every world where life began
Where such a tiny thing as man
Dreams of chariots to carry him home (chorus)

3. Satellites fall, we need more room
Men make more and walk on the moon
If there’s anybody up there, hear my tune
And send a chariot to carry me home (chorus)

Some trust in legends of old (D-A)
Some trust in coins of gold (A7-D)
Some try to save their souls (D-G-Em)
Some trust in chariots (Em-A)

4. Some search for the glory throne (A-D)
In a universe unknown (D-A)
I trust we’re not alone (G-G/F#-A)
I trust in chariots (chorus) (A7-D)

5. Preachers and professors watching from below
Looking for answers they’ll never know
Why the fools will stay when the dreamers go
On the chariots that carry them home (chorus)

Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin’ for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin’ for to carry me home
