The rising

The Rising

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:


1. Bridge:

E D E D
Nana Nananana Nana Nana Nana Nananana Nana Nana

E D E D
Nana Nananana Nana Nana Nana Nananana Naaa


Solo: E D A E / E D A E


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

E D E D
Nana Nananana Nana Nana Nana Nananana Nana Nana

E D E D
Nana Nananana Nana Nana Nana Nananana Naaa
