F Bb C F C F
[Verse 1]
F Dm
Seated one day at the organ
F C F
I was weary and ill at ease
Bb F C
And my fingers wandered id-ly
Dm G C
Over the noisy keys
C F C
I know not what I was play-ing
E A Am
Or what I was dreaming then;
C F C Dm
But I struck one chord of music
Gm C Bb
Like the sound of a great Amen
Eb Bb Dm C F
Like the sound of a great Amen
[Interlude]
F C F C F
[Verse 2]
F Dm
It flooded the crimson twilight
F C F
Like the close of an angel's psalm
Bb F C
And it lay on my fevered spir-it
Dm G C
With a touch of infinite calm
C F
It quieted pain and sorrow
E Am C
Like love overcoming strife;
F Bb
It seemed the harmonious echo
Gm F C F
From our discordant life
[Verse 3]
Dm C Bb F
It linked all per-plexèd meanings,
F Gm C F
Into one perfect peace
Dm C Bb
And trembled away into silence
E A
As if it were loth to cease
A Dm
I have sought, but I seek it vainly
E A
That one lost chord divine
D Dm A
Which came from the soul of the organ
