Arcade Fire – Abrahams Daughter (Guitar)

Em    D      G        Am      C/G     D       Em
Abraham took Isaac's hand and led him to the lonesome hill

Em          D       G       Am
While his daughter hid and watched

     C/G        D          Em
She dared not breathe, she was so still

Just as an angel cries for the slaughter, Abraham's daughter raised her voice

Em       D      G        Am       C/G

D          Em
She said, "I have none."

Then he asked, "How can this be?"

    C/G     D     Em
"My father never gave me one."

G                   D                        C/G                 D
And with his sword raised for the slaughter, Abraham's daughter raised her

G                        D
"How darest you, child, defy your father!"

 C/G                  D      Em
"You better let young Isaac go."
