 PS: This might seem weird since so few words are sang over so many chords,
 so just listen to the song its very easy (and beautiful). The chords will
 not be over the lyrics in the right spot.
Elegant  and  soft
 Feminine as you ought
 One with earth and one with God
 Won't you please forgive me?
 Play the chord progression twice as a break
 As the daylight sinks
 As I fail to stop and think
 Once I've cursed the things I've done
 Won't you please forgive me?
 Won't you please forgive me?
Play this twice. (this is a mixture of two guitars)

 Young bride take my name
 Burn the questions burn the shame
 You don't have to live by them
 Won't you please forgive them
 Won't you please forgive them

And  won't you please forgive  them
And  won't you please forgive  them
And  won't you please forgive  them
And  won't you please forgive  them
/ /  x 2 as a break, then same progression over lyrics
 Sleep well when the night time falls
 Wait till morning when I call
 Don't believe the bad you saw
 Won't you please forgive them
 Tenderness and grace
 How you've come to this place
 However dangerous or safe
 I'll find within you
 I'll find within you
 I'll find within  you
 I'll find within  you

 Good song and there is a rough sketch of it. Enjoy and I hope that it
 helps.
