^A Across the town
On the ^C other hill
^Bb Your lights glow
From a ^F different world
You ^A always found
A ^C place to hide
^Bb Nails and cross to ^F lay beside
C G A A#/A A (A#/A)?
With all the ghosts that we denied |0|0|3|3|3|0|
Now in ^A rippled arcs
A ^C cross the sky
^Bb Great white birds of ^F winter fly
When the ^A wheel turns
^C People change
^Bb Scattered ashes to the ^F wind
^d Scattered ^G ashes to the ^E wind
There's no ^A pain
There's no pain
e
There's no pain
^G Drying river in the ^C blazing sun
(repeat)
There's no ^D pain, there's no pain
There's no ^A pain ^{A#/A A}
Your ^A parched face
Your ^C calloused hands
^Bb Behind us lie the ^F arrid lands
To ^A say too much
It was ^C not our way
^Bb And in the end there wasn't ^F much to say
^d The scars are ^G healed now any ^E way
(Chorus)
D e
There's no pain, there's no pain, there's no pain
D e Bm
No pain, no pain
(Instrumental part): (I'm not sure about the rhythm in here. Just try it)

^{G A B C D B}
e Bm
And Abraham rose and took his only son
^Cmaj7 Knife and tinder in his ^A hand and set out
e
Across the desert and up into the scrubland hills.
^Bm He bound the boy Isaac to the stone
Raised the ^Cmaj7 blade and waited for the ^A miracle
But the ^G wind blows silent across the ^A hills
^B Silent, across the ^C dead and ^D empty ^B hills
e F/A
Dead, like the god that never came
Like your ^F#/A face, the day that you ^G/A turned a ^G#/A way.
(Chorus)
D e
There's no pain, there's no pain, there's no pain
D e
No pain, no pain
D e
No pain, no pain
Somehow the original isn't in A-major but who cares?
So, enjoy it.
