Maker of Noses
Rich Mullins


vamp:
D2 Bm7sus Em7 A7sus G/A A A/D
D Bm7sus
I believe there is a place where people live in perfect peace
Em7sus
Where there is food on every plate
G/A A A/D
Where work is rewarded and rest is sweet
D Bm7sus
Where the color of your skin won't get you in or keep you out
Em7sus
Where justice reigns and truth finally wins
G/A A
Its hard fought war against fear and doubt
Bm
And everyone I know wants to go there too
Gmaj7
But when I ask them to do it they seem so confused
Em7 D/F#
Do I turn to the left, do I turn to the right
G6 G/A A
When I turned to the world they gave me this advice


Chorus:
D
They said, boy you just follow your heart
Bm
But my heart just led me into my chest
Em7sus
They said follow your nose
D/F# G G/A
But the direction changed every time I went and turned my head
A D
And they said, boy you just follow your dreams
Bm
But my dreams were only misty notions
Em7sus D/F#
But the Father of hearts and the Maker of noses
G A7sus A VAMP
And the Giver of dreams, He's the One I have chosen and I will follow Him
I believe there'll come a time; Lord, I pray it's not too far off
There'll be no poverty or crime
And there'll be no greed and we'll learn how to love
The children will be safe in their homes
There'll be no violence out on the street
The old will not be left alone
And the strong will learn how to care for the weak
And everyone I know hopes it comes real soon
But when I ask 'em where I find it they seem so confused
Do I find it in the day, do I find it in the night?
When I finally ask the world they give me this advice


CHORUS
A7sus A
...He's the One I have chosen
B /A# /G# /F#
And oh, I hear the voice of a million dreams
E B/D#
Then I wake in the world that I'm partly made of
E F#7sus F#
And the world that is partly my own making
D2 /C# /B /A
And oh, I hear the song of a heart set free
Em7 D2/F#
That will not be kept down by the fury and sound
G A7sus A7 A/B B7
Of a world that is wasting away but keeps saying


CHORUS (in E)


coda:
E C#m7sus F#m7 E/G# A A/B B
repeat CODA ad lib and fade
