Jimi Hendrix - Silent prayer

^EConform to your con^E7viction^G5s Or be ^Edestined to recei^E7ve ^{G5 Em}Anti-Messiah’s wi^G5th th^Eme cruelest of intentions ^G5And a^Em dozen dirty tricks up their sleeve^E7

^AYou say you can’t remember how much time You spent forsaking his name to try to save your ow^A7n ^ESo there will be no sense in^E7 penitenc^G5e ^EOnce you’re cast into the great unkn^E7own

^G5Rolling over in your bed ^Ajust to kiss the serpents head ^G5Seven lonely virgins on a dead man’s thrown ^ASilent prayers carved in^E stone

^EWhat reward awaits the^E7 livin^G5g ^EIf death conceals its^E7 trace^G5 How ca^Emn we climb the waters ^G5if we??^Em?ve never swam the mountains ^G5Or e^Emxplored the breath of inner space^{E7 A}You say you can’t recall a better time you’ve had Beneath the penetrating tid^A7e ^ESo you find another stage to^E7 protest^G5 E E7

^G5Rolling over in your bed ^Ajust to kiss the serpents head ^G5Seven lonely virgins on a dead man’s thrown ^ASilent prayers carved in^E stone

^EIgnore those appariti^E7ons ^{G5 E}Just speculate inste^E7ad ^{G5 Em}If day turns in tonight with^G5out the^Em promise of tomorrow ^G5How the h^Emell are you to move ahead^E7

^A(Maybe you should spend) less time trying To forsake his name to try to save your ow^A7n ^EJust trade in your two cents for ^E7penitence^G5 Before you’^Ere cast into the great un^E7known^G7

^G5Rolling over in your bed ^Ajust to kiss the serpents head ^G5Seven lonely virgins on a dead man’s thrown ^ASilent prayers carved in^E stone ^G5Rolling over in your bed ^Ajust to kiss the serpents head ^G5Seven lonely virgins on a dead man’s thrown ^ASilent prayers carved in^E stone
