Intro: 6 lines
Capo 5
I give my hands to the morning light Up F
My feet the falling night Up C
I give my heart to you C-hammer on A note on G string
I give my eyes to the mountains
My thoughts to God
I give my heart to you
Instrumental
I give my things to the fire
My ears whispering angels
I give my heart to you
I give my body to the stillness
My laughter to the wind
I give my heart to you Chorus
I give my fear to the stone
My passions the dark earth
I give my heart to you
I give my voice to song
My breath the evening star
I give my heart to you
Instrumental
I give my courage to love
My legs gentle paths
I give my heart to you
I give my words to the moonlight
My faith things unseen
I give my heart to you Chorus

All these years Down G-Em-A
