Ten Thousand


---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ten Thousand - John Mark Mcmillan ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- These are the chords that the acoustic is playing during the song. Your going to have to figure out the strum pattern by yourself. The Chorus can be played with a D instead of a B but it's going to sound funny on guitar no matter what. Try it on a key board and it will fit. Intro : E,A Verse 1: E Ten thousand glimmering like coals in our chest A Ball bearings drawn to the magnetic breath E Of ten thousand weeping with wings on their tears A Amidst ten thousand voices for ten thousand years E For ten thousand graves yawning unlocked and unlatched A Now ten thousand holes with rocks on their backs E Ten thousand tombs gaping wide singing the praise A Of ten thousand bodies unlaced and unlaid Pre - Chorus: B A As the ten thousand highways unfold their doors B A For the ten thousand standing on Nineveh's shores E A Where the blood of a husband silences wars B E For the girl who rises to meet him and she sings Chorus: A World, I have overcome you E World, I have overcome you B World, I have overcome A E B By my song and the blood of a son Verse 2: E Ten thousand rivers run red like my veins A Where the bones of men hum like a rattling cage E For sinew to cling to for wind to remain A In ten thousand lungs for ten thousand days E Breathing like a choir of holes in the ground A Where the cynical have lain, where the cynical go down E Save the gravity of time lets go of her drowned A Like ten thousand sparrows unlocked and unwound
