FROM A DISTANCE    
Performed by Nanci Griffith

Intro: G D C/G G C G/B D Em7 G/B C Am Em/G D/F# D


       G             C/G         D        G
>From a distance, the world looks blue and green 
        C           D         G       D  C/G
And the snow capped mountains white 
       G             C     D         G
>From a distance, the ocean meets the stream 
G/B     C     D        G      D
And the eagle takes to flight 
G      Cmaj7     D       Em
>From a distance, there is harmony
       C      G/B          G/D   D
And it echoes through the land  
         C        G/B            C        G/B
It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace
         C        D     G    D  C/G  G  C  G/D  D
It's the voice of every man


>From a distance, we all have enough 

And no one is in need 

There are no guns, no bombs, no disease, 

No hungry mouths to feed 

>From a distance, we are instruments 

Marching in a common band 

Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace

They're the songs of every man 

 
G/C    C        D              G    Em
God is watching us, God is watching us,
Em7    Am7      C/D D      G
God is watching us, from a distance 


>From a distance, you look like my friend 

Even though we are at war

>From a distance, I can't comprehend 

What all this war is for 

>From a distance, there is harmony 

And it echoes through the land

It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves, 

It's the heart of every man


    G/C    C        D              G    Em
And God is watching us, God is watching us,
Em7    Am7      C/D D      G
God is watching us, from a distance 
   G/B    Am7          C/D             Em7  G/B  C  Am7  D  G
Oh God is watching us, from a distance
