Ten Thousand Chords

Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

CTen thousand glimmering like Gcoals in our Cchest

Am7Our ball bearings Gdrawn to the Cmagnetic Fbreath

 Of tCen thousand weeping with Gwings on their tCears

 Amidst Am7ten thousand Gvoices for Cten thousand Fyears

 For tCen thousand graves yawning Gunlocked and unClatched

 Now Am7ten thousand Gholes with Crocks on their bFacks

 Ten tChousand tombs gaping wide sGinging the Cpraises

 Of Am7ten thousand Gbodies unClaced and unFlaid

Pre - Chorus

 As the Gten thousand highways Am7unfold their dFoors

 For the Gten thousand standing on Am7Nineveh's sFhores

 Where the Cblood of a husband sGilences Cwars

 For the gFirl who Grises to Cmeet Him, and she sings

Chorus

FWorld, I have overcome you

Am7World, I have overcome you

GWorld, I have overcome

 By my Fsong and the blood of a Gson

Verse 2

Ten thousand rivers run red like my veins

Where the bones of men hum like a rattling cage

For sinew to cling to for wind to remain

In ten thousand lungs for ten thousand days

Breathing like a choir of holes in the ground

Where the cynical have lain, where the cynical go down

Save the gravity of time lets go of her drowned

Like ten thousand sparrows unlocked and unwound

Pre Chorus

Chorus x2
