These Frail Hands


This tab was published by me when I thought I was logged in, I wasn't, and I thought I'd to get my credit for it, so I hope the other tab can be removed and this can be stored mine. Now forgive me because this is such a short tab, but it's 100% accurate. Intro/verse: E:------------------------------------------| B:---1---1---1---1---1---1---1---1----------| G:------------------------------------------| D:---------2---2---3---3---3---3------------| A:-3---3------------------------------------| E:------------------------------------------| In this broken place where I was born It seems there is no peace, And the very soil that we walk upon Is filled with tears that never cease, And you can trace the scars of hopelessness Like sweat upon the backs Of all the outcast downtrodden, Water slipped through cracks Hold on, Hold tight And I am overwhelmed with grief, to see such suffering, For those who lack the voice to speak For those of us left stuttering Prechorus/Chorus: C Am May this not prevail, F G Dear Lord, your love will never fail C Am And these frail hands, F G They tremble as they pen perhaps their last C Am And these weak words, F G Can never say what cannot be surpassed (Play the verse/into again) When the concrete of the world Becomes too cumbersome to lift, And the cataracts of fear and doubt Cloak truth beyond what we can sift And darkness, darkness bleeds its way, When crippling anguish clouds our sight, The ghosts of dusk have bared their teeth, Set their claws to bring the night Hold on, Hold tight Darkness can’t perceive the light, though lightlessness has chilled us numb, And though its wings may cloud the skies, The dark shall never overcome C Am Light of the World, F G Your love has never failed C Am And these frail hands, F G They tremble as they pen perhaps their last C Am And these weak words, F G Can never say what cannot be surpassed C Am I need your love, F G And most of all I want to feel your peace, C Am I need your love, F G Let everything that you are not decrease There you go! I am positive this is 100% right because it's really a pretty simple song. Instead of the bridge, I just let the last chord ring out, then palm mute the four for a build up and continue right where it normally would come in.
