Eliza Gilkyson – Emmanuel (Guitar)

                      F        C
When at first I came into this land

       Am        G     F
In the highlands I did dwell

      C              F       C
Where ancient winged masters taught

    Am        G        F    C
The depths of wisdom's well

             F            C
Emmanuel, he walked with me

    Am      G      F
And secrets he did share

    C            F        C
The order of the swirling stars

    Am      G         F    C
The laws of earth and air

    Am              C
The golden pipes of heaven

     Em            F
He entrusted in my care

    C      G      C     F
And I sang of the mercy of 

  G   C
Emmanuel

                 F      C
In time I went a-wandering

  Am     G        F
Into the world of man

    C                 F       C
And though I knew the sacred songs

   Am       G        F    C
My separate dreams began

    Am                 C
And when I thought the pipes were mine

   Em                 F
My eyes grew blind as well

   C         G          C      F
My soul from heights of heaven fell

  G   C
Emmanuel

Am
Slumbering, sleeping

    F
The servant, the snake 

  Dm      Em
A poet, a mother

  F
A child stillborn

  F       G
A rock, a star

  Am
A drunk in a bar

F
Sobbing the sorrow, walking the wheel

Em
Hiding the horror, fighting the feel

F           G             Am
Pushing the wheel, like a rock up a hill

                G
Until, until, until

    C               F         C
I’m drawn so slowly step by step

    Am      G        F
Out of this darkened place

   C            F      C
So unaccustomed to the light

   Am   G      F     C
So wary of its grace

    Am            C
Oh, how I long to hear the pipes

  Em            F
I held before I fell

    C        G       C        F
And sing the ancient songs of love

  G   C
Emmanuel

                 G     C           G     F  C
           Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah 

                    F    C
From out of dreams awakening

   Am        G        F
It seems ten thousand years

      C           F           C
Since I beheld my true love's face

    Am          G         F     C
And cried these cleansing tears

            Am      C
The songs returning one by one

    Em             F
Out of my memory's well

    C     G        C       F
How can I lay them at your feet

  G   C
Emmanuel?

C     G        C            
Can I lay them at your feet

F G   F C
Emmanuel?
