Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
The  sea beneath the cliff is the blue in my mother's  eyes
 That came from the blue in  her mother's eyes
Thrown  on down the  line
By  our family who worked the field on borrowed  land above the ocean
 My family  worked the field on borrowed land
Higher  hills do  not provide
For  hearts born of  coral  and moss
Where  rain wont flow  beyond our  stream
And  water is captive  to the well
 (Repeat after each chorus:)
Oh-ohh
 Oh-Ohh
 Oh-Ohh
Oh-oh-oh
 (Same chords as first verse)
 There was a gentleman,
 I've always known his children's songs
 Blue eyes were hardened by the war
 But still he went on singing
 Night can't hide a man
 When his eyes are tearing
 The night can't hide his cries
 There's only a few of us left
 Higher hills do not provide
 For hearts born of coral and moss
 Where rain wont flow beyond our stream
 And water is captive to the well
 I've known that age old blue lies in home with sirens tombs
 He's left a deep desire for a home beside the water
 Shady rhythm calms the night
 And that voice is never still
 You know a voice is never still
 And a voice is never silent
 Shady rhythm calms the night
 And that voice is never still
 You know a voice is never still
 And a voice is never silent
 Higher hills do not provide
 For hearts born of coral and moss
 Where rain wont flow beyond our stream
 And water is captive to the well

There was a gentleman,
I've always known his children's songs
Blue eyes were hardened by the war
But still he went on singing

Night can't hide a man
When his eyes are tearing
The night can't hide his cries
There's only a few of us left

Higher hills do not provide
For hearts born of coral and moss
Where rain wont flow beyond our stream
And water is captive to the well

I've known that age old blue lies in home with sirens tombs
He's left a deep desire for a home beside the water
Shady rhythm calms the night
And that voice is never still
You know a voice is never still
And a voice is never silent

Shady rhythm calms the night
And that voice is never still
You know a voice is never still
And a voice is never silent

Higher hills do not provide
For hearts born of coral and moss
Where rain wont flow beyond our stream
And water is captive to the well
