We Are Alive Bruce Springsteen
By Bruce Springsteen
Capo 5 / Intro G C G / G C D
There is a cr[G]oss up yonder up on C[C]alvary H[G]ill
[G]There is a slip of blood on a s[C]ilver k[D]nife
There is a gr[G]aveyard kid? D[C]own b[G]elow?
[G]Where at night did c[C]ome to l[D]ife
And a[G]bove the stars, they c[C]rackle in f[G]ire
[G]A dead man's moon throws s[C]even r[D]ings
Well, we p[G]ut our ears to the c[C]old grave s[G]tones
[G]This is the s[C]ong they'd s[D]ing
WE A[G]RE AL[C]IVE?[G]
[G]And though our bodies lie a[C]lone here in the d[D]ark
OUR S[G]PIRITS [C]RISE?[G]. To carry the fire and l[C]ight the s[D]park
To st[G]and shoulder to shoulder and H[C]EART? TO H[G]EART ?
[G](Wh[C]ist[G]le?[/]???[G].)[C] [D]
A v[G]oice cried out, I was killed in M[C]aryland in 1[G]877
[G]When the railroad workers m[C]ade their s[D]tand
Well, I was k[G]illed in 1963 one S[C]unday morning in B[G]irmingham
[G]Well, I died last year crossing the s[C]outhern de[D]sert
My ch[G]ildren left behind in S[C]an Pa[G]blo
[G]Well they left our bodies h[C]ere to r[D]ot
Oh please let them know? WE A[G]RE AL[C]IVE?[G]
[G]Oh, and though we lye alone h[C]ere in the d[D]ark
OUR SOULS W[G]ILL R[C]ISE?[G] To carry the fire and l[C]ight the s[D]park
To f[G]ight shoulder to shoulder and H[C]EART? TO H[G]EART?
G C G / G C D??.4x?s
(Whistle????.)
Let your m[G]ind rest easy, sleep w[C]ell my fr[G]iend
I[G]t's only our bodies that be[C]tray us in the e[D]nd
I a[G]woke last night in a dark and [C]dreamy d[G]eep
F[G]rom my head to my feet, my body g[C]one stone c[D]old
There were w[G]orms crawling all a[C]round [G]me
F[G]ingers scratching at an earth black and s[C]ix foot l[D]ow
And a[G]lone in the blackness [C]of my g[G]rave
Al[G]one I'd been L[C]EFT TO D[D]IE
Then I h[G]eard voices calling a[C]ll around [G]me
Th[G]e earth rose above me, my eyes f[C]illed with s[D]ky
WE A[G]RE AL[C]IVE?[G]
A[G]nd though our bodies lie alone h[C]ere in the d[D]ark
OUR SOULS & SP[G]IRITS R[C]ISE?[G]
T[G]o carry the fire and li[C]ght the sp[D]ark
To fi[G]ght shoulder to shoulder and H[C]EART?. TO H[G]EART?
To st[G]and shoulder to shoulder and H[C]EART?. TO H[G]EART?
C G???.Stop
WE ARE ALIVE !!!!
