I did my best but any positive critism will be most welcome!
I Dsus4saw you from a foreignCadd9 window
BearDsus4ing down the sufferinCadd9' road
YDsus4ou were carryin' your buCadd9rden
TDsus4o the palace of the LordCadd9
TDo the palace of tGheCadd9 Lord G Cadd9
I spied you from a foreign window
When the lilacs were in bloom
And the sun shone through your window pane
To the place you kept your books
You were reading on your sofa
You were singin' every prayer
That the masters had instilled in you
Since Lord Byron loved despair
In the palace of the Lord
In the palace of the Lord
Bridge:
ACadd9nd if you get it right thDis time
You don't have to come bacGk aCadd9gain G Cadd9
And iCadd9f you get it right thDis time
ThereCadd9's no need to explain
I saw you from a foreign
Bearing down the sufferin' road
You were carryin' your burden
You were singing about Rimbaud
I was going down to Geneva
When the Kingdom had been found
I was giving you protection
From the loneliness of the crowd
In the palace of the Lord
In the palace of the Lord
They were giving you religion
Breaking bread and drinking wine
And you laid out on the green hills
Just like when you were a child
I saw you from a foreign window
You were trying to find your way back home
You were carrying your defects
Sleeping on a pallet on the floor
In the palace of the Lord
In the palace of the Lord
In the palace of the Lord
