Abraham Chords & Lyrics - Mark Erelli

CAPO: 2nd Fret

[INTRO]
[C]

[VERSE 1]
O [F]Abra[C]ham
How far the [F]mighty, [G]we have [C]fallen
How I [F]pray you hear me [C]calling
In the [Dm]hour of des[G]pair
In the promised [C]land
Where every [F]promise [G]has been [C]broken
And every [F]vote feels like a [C]token
For a [Dm]ride that [G]goes no[C]where

[CHORUS]
So rise [G]up
Rise [C]up
Rise [G]up

[VERSE 2]
O the words you [C]spoke
Of a [F]far more [G]perfect [C]union
Reaching [F]out to the disil[C]lusioned
Still [Dm]set our souls to [G]sing
But what of [C]hope
And we need it [F]now more than[G] ever [C]
And I keep [F]listening for [C]feathers
But I hear the [Dm]flap of [G]leathery [C]wings

[CHORUS]
So rise [G]up
Rise [C]up
We've more in [F]common [G]than di[C]vides us
But we [F]need some[G]one to [C]guide us
Through the [G]sorrow and the [E7]shadows we have s[Am]own
O [F]Abra[C]ham
Rise up [G]from your marble [C]throne

[VERSE 3]
O Abra[C]ham
Gazing [F]out o[G]ver the [C]fountain
Sitting [F]silent as a [C]mountain
Say it [Dm]wasn't all in [G]vain
Though I under[C]stand
Why another [F]wise man [G]won't come [C]forward
When all the [F]others were re[C]warded
With a [Dm]bullet [G]in the [C]brain

[CHORUS]
So rise [G]up
Rise [C]up
Rise [G]up
Rise [C]up
Rise [Em]up
Rise [F]up
Ris[C]e
Ri[E]se [Am]up
We've [G]more in [F]common [G]than di[C]vides us
But we [F]need some[G]one to [C]guide us
For we've [G]never felt so [E7]lost and so a[Am]lone
O [F]Abra[C]ham
Rise up [G]from your marble [C]throne [F]
O Abra[C]ham
Rise [G]up, rise [C]up
