[Verse]
Bbm             Db     Absus2             Bbm
   No joy in heaven  although the sun may shine
Bbm                  Db     Absus2             Bbm
I need the warmth of gin inside
Bbm              Db    Absus2              Bbm
I see the golden track blurred in sand and dust
Bbm                  Db            Absus2
Where burnt out cars decay and rust

[Verse]
Bbm          Db     Absus2              Bbm
No joy in heaven despite the glittering stars
Bbm                      Db      Absus2
Their jagged shapes just tear my heart
Bbm                  Db        Absus2              Bbm
Between the sand and stone the flowers of hope may grow
Bbm            GbM7 Absus2
Then trodden on by commandos

[Chorus]
Bbm                             GbM7 Absus2
Chanting these words out like a prayer (A letter from afar)
Bbm    GbM7                   Absus2
Hoping someone’s listening up there (A letter from afar)

Chanting these words out like a prayer (A letter from afar)

Hoping someone’s listening up there (A letter from afar)
Bbm                         GbM7 Ab
Reach for a face that isn’t there (A letter from afar)
Bbm                         GbM7 Ab
Fooled by my mind again I fear (A letter from afar)
Bbm                         GbM7 Ab
Too much is not enough (A letter from afar)
Bbm                         GbM7 Ab Bbm
