couldnt find chords online, so i figured some out. some of them might be wrong:P
the chords don't match up with the lyrics, but the meter is pretty straightforward
so it'll be easy when you listen to it.
capo 3rd fret

D - E - G - A
Verse 1:

My son, My son, why are you striving,
G D/F# Em A

Rest in your faith, my peace will come to you.
