Abraham by Mark Erelli
Abraham
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
F C
O Abraham
F G C
How far the mighty, we have fallen
F C
How I pray you hear me calling
Dm G
In the hour of despair
C
In the promised land
F G C
Where every promise has been broken
F C
And every vote feels like a token
Dm G C
For a ride that goes nowhere
[Chorus]
G
So rise up
C
Rise up
G
Rise up
[Verse 2]
C
O the words you spoke
F G C
Of a far more perfect union
F C
Reaching out to the disillusioned
Dm G
Still set our souls to sing
C
But what of hope
F G C
And we need it now more than ever
F C
And I keep listening for feathers
Dm G C
But I hear the flap of leathery wings
[Chorus]
G
So rise up
C
Rise up
F G C
We've more in common than divides us
F G C
But we need someone to guide us
G E7 Am
Through the sorrow and the shadows we have sown
F C
O Abraham
G C
Rise up from your marble throne
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
C
O Abraham
F G C
Gazing out over the fountain
F C
Sitting silent as a mountain
Dm G
Say it wasn't all in vain
C
Though I understand
F G C
Why another wise man won't come forward
F C
When all the others were rewarded
Dm G C
With a bullet in the brain
[Chorus]
G
So rise up
C
Rise up
G
Rise up
C
Rise up
Em
Rise up
F
Rise up
C
Rise
E Am
Rise up
G F G C
We've more in common than divides us
F G C
But we need someone to guide us
G E7 Am
For we've never felt so lost and so alone
F C
O Abraham
G C F
Rise up from your marble throne
C
O Abraham
G C
Rise up, rise up
