Rise And Shine chords

[INTRO]
[G] [Am] [D] [C] [G]

[VERSE 1]
I rem[G]ember how the snow fell in December
And an[C]gels flew in pageants and in dreams
And I c[Am]ame in at six o'clock from a long hard day of playing
To the wa[C]rmth of Mama's cookin'
Or was it the warmth of Mama's lo[G]ve?

There were ca[G]rdboard pirate ships and mud puddle seas
And the b[C]ackyard was a battleground for cowboys
When D[Am]addy drug me outta bed on early Sunday morning
I r[C]emember how he smiled at me and said--

[CHORUS]
He said, "[G]Rise, rise and sh[C]ine
The d[Am]ay is coming on
And you know the n[C]ight is gone
So ri[G]se."

[VERSE 2]
I rem[G]ember how the shepherds lay in slumber
And the a[C]ngels came and broke them from their dreams
When [Am]Mary raised her weary head
And J[Am]oseph stood there grinning
The wo[C]rld awoke to the coming of a king

There were h[G]aystacks in his palace
And a ma[G]nger was his throne
As a h[C]ush fell on the little town of David
And the h[Am]illside never shined so bright
As [Am]early Christmas morning
You could al[C]most hear the very heavens sing

[CHORUS]
They sang, "R[G]ise, rise and sh[C]ine
The [Am]sun is coming in
And the morning li[C]ght is shining in
Your e[G]yes, oh rise and sh[C]ine
The [Am]day is coming on
And you know the ni[C]ght is gone so r[Em]ise"

[Em] [C] [Em] [C]

[VERSE 3]
I re[Em]member how the sunlight turned to thunder
And the pe[C]ople ran for shelter from the rain
And the c[Am]urtain tore and the saints awoke
And the w[Am]hole earth seemed to tremble
From the f[C]ury of God's anger
Or was it the fury of Hi[G]s love?

There were sh[G]adows on the tomb there in the garden
And the m[C]ist was rising slowly through the trees
When [Am]Mary saw the silhouette on early Easter morning
I rem[C]ember how he smiled at her and said

[CHORUS]
He said, "R[G]ise, rise and sh[C]ine
The s[Am]un is coming in
And the morning l[C]ight is shining in
Your e[G]yes, oh rise and sh[C]ine
The d[Am]ay is coming on
And you know the ni[C]ght is gone so r[G]ise"
