Verge of a Miracle Rich Mullins
Transposed by Kevin Paddock. This, one of my favorite Rich Mullins songs, was recorded
in C# and not with the guitar in mind, mind you. But you can get a great sound emulating
the Rhodes with the guitar capoed 4; play the A position. Adjust the capo to your vocal
range, but at least try it at 4 in order to play along with the recording.
CAPO 4
[A2] [ / / / / ] [ / / / / ] [ / / / / ] [ / / / / ]
Verse 1:
[A2] Clung to a ball
That was [Asus]hung in the [A]sky
Hu[C#m]rled into orbit
T[F#m]here yo[E]u a[D2]re
[A2] Wheth- er you fall down
Or whether you [A]fly
S[C#m]eems you can never [F#m]get t[E]oo [D2]far
E E/D (is that E7?) A/C# D
Some- one's waiting to put wings
[A/C#] Up-[D]on your flightles[Esus]s heart[E] [Esus] [E] [Bm7(4)]
Chorus:
[A/C#] You're on the verge of a mir-[D2] a- cle
Just s[G2]tand-i[D]ng th[G2]ere
[Bm7(4)]Oh [A/C#] you're on the verge of a mir- [D2]a- cle
Just w[G2]ait-ing to be be-[Bm7(4)]lieved in
[A/C#]Open your eyes and [D2]see
[Esus] You're on the verge of a mir-[A2] a- cle
Verse 2:
Here in your room
Where nobody can see
Voices are loud
But seldom clear
But beneath the confusion
That's running so deep
There is a promise you must hear
The love that seems so far away
Is standing very near
Repeat Chorus:
You're on the verge of a miracle
Standing there
Oh you're on the verge of a miracle
Just waiting to be believed in
Open your eyes and see
Bridge:
[Bm7(4)] When you've [A2/C#]played out your last chance
[D2] And your di-[Esus] rec- tions have all[E] been los[Bm7(4)]t
When the roads that you look [A2/C#]down are all dead ends[D2]
Look up, you could [Bm7]see if you[A/C#]'d just loo[D]k up
[Bm7(4)] / / [A/C#] / / ] [ D] / / [G]/ [D/G] [G]/ ]
Bm7(4) A/C# Dmaj9? G D/G G
[ / / / / ] [ / / / / ]
Repeat Chorus:
You're on the verge of a miracle
Standing there
Oh you're on the verge of a miracle
Just waiting to be believed in
Open your eyes and see
You're on the verge of a miracle
