Bruce Springsteen 


Capo 1st Fret

 

1. VERSE:

 D                     A            D                       A
Can't see nothin' in front of me   Can't see nothin' coming up behind

D                           A            
I make my way through this darkness

D                               A              
I can't feel nothing but this chain that binds me

 D                 A                D                  A                      
Lost track of how far I've gone    How far I've gone, how high I've climbed

D                     A            D                      A              
On my back's a sixty pound stone   On my shoulder a half mile of line


1. Refrain:

 D                  A       D                    A
Come on up for the rising  Come on up, lay your hands in mine

  D                 A       D                  A           
Come on up for the rising  Come on up for the rising tonight



2. VERSE:

 D                   A           D             A                    
Left the house this morning     Bells ringing filled the air

 D                       A      D                         A 
Wearin' the cross of my calling On wheels of fire I come rollin' down here



1. Refrain:

2. Bridge:

          E                  D        A                      E
There's spirits above and behind me  Faces gone black, eyes burnin' bright 

 E                        D                A                       E
May their precious blood bind me     Lord, as I stand before your fiery light

4. VERSE:

D                  A          D                    A            
I see Mary in the garden      In the garden of a thousand sighs

  D                            A        D                A
There's holy pictures of our children  Dancin' in a sky filled with light

 D                   A                  D                     A        
May I feel your arms around me         May I feel your blood mix with mine

D                      A       D                            A        
A dream of life comes to me   Like a catfish dancin' on the end of my line

D                     A         D            A  
Sky of blackness and sorrow   Sky of love, sky of tears 

D                 A             D             A
Sky of glory and sadness      Sky of mercy, sky of fear 

D                   A          D                         A 
Sky of memory and shadow      Your burnin' wind fills my arms tonight 

D                       A      D                 A              
Sky of longing and emptiness  Sky of fullness, sky of blessed life
