Emmanuel  Eliza Gilkyson

INTRO: C F C Am G C F C
When at first I came i[F]nto this [C]land
In the [Am]highlands [G]I did [F]dwell
Where [C]ancient winged [F]masters [C]taught
The [Am]depths of [G]wisdom's [F]well[C]
Emmanuel, he [F]walked with m[C]e
And [Am]secrets [G]he did [F]share
The [C]order of the [F]swirling [C]stars
The [Am]laws of [G]earth and [F]air[C]
The [Am]golden pipes of [C]heaven
He en[Em]trusted in my [F]care
And [C]I sang [G]of the [C]mercy [F]of
Em[G]manu[C]el
In time I went a-[F]wanderi[C]ng
In[Am]to the [G]world of [F]man
And [C]though I knew the [F]sacred s[C]ongs
My [Am]separate [G]dreams be[F]gan[C]
And [Am]when I thought the [C]pipes were mine
My [Em]eyes grew blind as [F]well
My [C]soul from [G]heights of [C]heaven [F]fell
Em[G]manu[C]el
[Am]Slumbering, sleeping
Slipping through seasons of silent night
The [F]servant, the snake
The soldier, a storm
A [Dm]poet, a [Em]mother
A [F]child stillborn
A [F]rock, a [G]star
A [Am]drunk in a bar
How many more times, dancing the skin dance
Sorting the systems of violence, romance
[F]Sobbing the sorrow, walking the wheel
[Em]Hiding the horror, fighting the feel
[F]Pushing the [G]wheel, like a [Am]rock up a hill
Until, until, un[G]til
Iā??[C]m drawn so slowl[F]y step by [C]step
Out [Am]of this [G]darkened [F]place
So [C]unaccustomed [F]to the [C]light
So [Am]wary [G]of its [F]grace[C]
Oh, [Am]how I long to [C]hear the pipes
I [Em]held before I [F]fell
And [C]sing the [G]ancient [C]songs of [F]love
Em[G]manu[C]el
CHOIR INTERLUDE:
Ah ah [G]ah ah [C]ah ah ah ah [G]ah ah [F]ah [C]ah
From out of dreams a[F]waken[C]ing
It [Am]seems ten [G]thousand [F]years
Since [C]I beheld my [F]true love's [C]face
And [Am]cried these [G]cleansing [F]tears[C]
The songs re[Am]turning [C]one by one
Out [Em]of my memory's [F]well
How [C]can I [G]lay them [C]at your [F]feet
Em[G]manu[C]el?
[C]Can I [G]lay them [C]at your feet
[F]Em[G]manu[F]el[C]?
