Van Morrison - Glad Tidings: chords

             G            C        G
And they'll lay you down low, and easy.
                       C              G
And the lips that you kiss, will say Christmas.
                         C            G
And the miles that you travelled the distance.
               G    C         G
So believe no lies, dry your eyes, and realise; that
      D
surprise.

Chorus:
G      C         G           D         G
La la la, la la la, la, la, la, la la la.
G      C         G           D         G
La la la, la la la, la, la, la, la la la.

And the business will shake hands and talk in
numbers
And the princess will wake up from her slumber
Then all the knights will step forth with their
arm bands
And every stranger you meet in the street will
make demands

Chorus

           C             D                    G
And we'll send you glad tidings from New York.
C             D               G
Open up your eyes so you may see.
C               D                G   Em
Ask you not to read between the lines,
C                   D                G
Hope that you will come in right on time.

And they'll talk to you while you're in trances
And you'll visualize not taking any chances
But meet them halfway with love, peace,
and persuasion
And expect them to rise for the occasion

Don't it gratify when you see it materialize
Right in front of your eyes by surprise
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
Mmm mmm

And we'll send you glad tidings from New York
Open up your eyes so you may see
Ask you not to read between the lines
Hope that you will come right in on time, woah

And they'll lay you down, low and easy
