Song of Gomer

Michael Card



Hosea 1-3



 F#2

[ / / / / ][ / / / / ]

F#2			     G#m7

Don't know what He sees in me, he is spirit, he is free

  F#maj7/A#	   B2	   G#m7		 C#sus

And I, the wife of adultery, Gomer is my name

F#2			  G#m7

Simply more than I can see how he keeps on forgiving me

F#maj7/A#	    B2	     G#m7  C#	     F#2

   How he keeps his sanity, Hosea, you're a fool



Chorus:

 F#maj7/A#		          G#m7sus

A fool to love someone like me, a fool to suffer silently

   F#maj7/A#		    B2		 G#m7    C#    F#2

But sometimes through your eyes I see I'd rather be a fool



The fondness of a father, the passion of a child

The tenderness of a loving friend, an understanding smile

All of this and so much more you've lavished on a faithless whore

I've never known love like this before, Hosea you're a fool



CHORUS



     D#m	/C#	B2	     /A#

This God of yours would not have told

   G#m7		        C#

To lift a love that you couldn't hold

	   D#m	        /C# B2	     /A#

And though time and time again I flee

   G#m7			   C#sus          C#

I'm always glad to see you coming after me



 F#2		       G#m7

[ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ]

F#maj7/A#   B2	       G#m7	   C#

[ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ]



Simply more than I can see, how he keeps on forgiving me

The wife of adultery, and Gomer is my name
