�We Are Alive�
By Bruce Springsteen

Capo 5 / Intro G C G / G C D

G C G
There is a cross up yonder up on Calvary Hill
G C D
There is a slip of blood on a silver knife
G C G

There is a graveyard kid� Down below�
G C D
Where at night did come to life
G C G
And above the stars, they crackle in fire
G C D
A dead man's moon throws seven rings
G C G
Well, we put our ears to the cold grave stones
G C D
This is the song they'd sing
G C G
WE ARE ALIVE�
G C D
And though our bodies lie alone here in the dark
G C G C D
OUR SPIRITS RISE�. To carry the fire and light the spark
G C G
To stand shoulder to shoulder and HEART� TO HEART �

G C G / G C D
(Whistle����.)

G C G
A voice cried out, I was killed in Maryland in 1877
G C D
When the railroad workers made their stand
G C G
Well, I was killed in 1963 one Sunday morning in Birmingham
G C D
Well, I died last year crossing the southern desert
G C G
My children left behind in San Pablo
G C D
Well they left our bodies here to rot
G C G
Oh please let them know� WE ARE ALIVE�
G C D
Oh, and though we lye alone here in the dark
G C G C D
OUR SOULS WILL RISE� To carry the fire and light the spark
G C G
To fight shoulder to shoulder and HEART� TO HEART�

G C G / G C D��.4x�s
(Whistle����.)

G C G
Let your mind rest easy, sleep well my friend
G C D
It's only our bodies that betray us in the end
G C G
I awoke last night in a dark and dreamy deep
G C D
From my head to my feet, my body gone stone cold
G C G
There were worms crawling all around me
G C D
Fingers scratching at an earth black and six foot low
G C G
And alone in the blackness of my grave
G C D
Alone I'd been LEFT TO DIE
G C G
Then I heard voices calling all around me
G C D
The earth rose above me, my eyes filled with sky
G C G
WE ARE ALIVE�
G C D
And though our bodies lie alone here in the dark
G C G
OUR SOULS & SPIRITS RISE�
G C D
To carry the fire and light the spark
G C G
To fight shoulder to shoulder and HEART�. TO HEART�
G C G
To stand shoulder to shoulder and HEART�. TO HEART�
C G���.Stop
WE ARE ALIVE !!!!

G C G / G C D��.4x�s�..FADE with a whistle�.
