D
I've waited patiently for the Lord

He inclined and heard my cry
D
He lifted me up out of the pit
    G
Out of the miry clay

I will sing, sing a new song
        D           G
I will sing, sing a new song
      D                G
How long to sing this song?

The Live version on Under a Blood Red Sky seems to be G# - C#

Second verse should "many will see and fear" (not hear). Check your Bible Psalm 40:3

Thanks for this! I do think "mire and clay" is supposed to be "miry Clay". Other than that- great!
