Bruce Springsteen – We Are Alive (Guitar)

G                                C       G        
There is a cross up yonder up on Calvary Hill

G                              C      D
There is a slip of blood on a silver knife

           C              G        
There is a graveyard kid  Down below

G                          D
Where at night did come to life

    C                     G        
And above the stars, they crackle in fire

G                         C     D
A dead man's moon throws seven rings

          C                  G        
Well, we put our ears to the cold grave stones

G                       D
This is the song they'd sing

       C   G        
WE ARE ALIVE…   

G                                    C      D
And though our bodies lie alone here in the dark

            C    G                                    C 
OUR SPIRITS RISE….    To carry the fire and light the spark

         G                        D       
To stand shoulder to shoulder and HEART…    TO HEART …

                         G                     C  G
A voice cried out, I was killed in Maryland in 1877

                          C    Am    D
When the railroad workers made their stand

        C             G                          Am       D
Well, I was killed in 1963 one Sunday morning in Birmingham

        C                           G
Well, I died last year crossing the southern desert

                           Am  D
My children left behind in San Pablo

          C               G
Well they left our bodies here to rot

                   D            
Oh please let them know…   

       C   G
WE ARE ALIVE…  

                                 C  Am  D
Oh, and though we lye alone here in the dark

               C  G                                    
OUR SOULS WILL RISE…

                                C
To carry the fire and light the spark

         G                        D                 
To fight shoulder to shoulder and HEART…   TO HEART…

         C                     D            G
Let your mind rest easy, sleep well my friend

              C                            D
It's only our bodies that betray us in the end

  G                     C        G
I awoke last night in a dark and dreamy deep

                                            D
From my head to my feet, my body gone stone cold

           C              G
There were worms crawling all around me

                                         Am       D
Fingers scratching at an earth black and six foot low

    C                      G
And alone in the blackness of my grave

                       D
Alone I'd been LEFT TO DIE

       C                    G         
Then I heard voices calling all around me

                                             D
The earth rose above me, my eyes filled with sky

       C   G        
WE ARE ALIVE…

                                     C  Am  D
And though our bodies lie alone here in the dark

                      C  G
OUR SOULS and SPIRITS RISE…

                                C
To carry the fire and light the spark

         G                        D        C      G
To fight shoulder to shoulder and HEART TO HEART…   

         C           G            D        C      G
To stand shoulder to shoulder and HEART TO HEART…  

       C    G
WE ARE ALIVE
