Bruce Springsteen - We Are Alive Chords

C
There's a cross up yonder on Calvary Hill
                                     G
There's a slip of blood on a silver knife
            F          C
There's a graveyard kid down below
                                  G
Where at night the dead come to life
F                        C 
Well above the stars they crackle and fire
                                G
A dead man's moon throws seven rings
      F                  C
We?d put our ears to the cold grave stones
                      G
This is the song they?d sing


F        C    
We are alive
                                             G
And though our bodies lie alone here in the dark
           F   C
Our spirits rise
                                F
To carry the fire and light the spark
           C                      G
To stand shoulder to shoulder and heart to heart

A voice cried I was killed in Maryland in 1877
                                        G
When the railroad workers made their stand
F              C
I was killed in 1963
                        G
One Sunday morning in Birmingham
    C                           F       C
I died last year crossing the southern desert
                                G
My children left behind in San Pablo
                F               C
Well they?ve left our bodies here to rot
                    G
Oh please let them know


F        C    
We are alive
                                             G
And though our bodies lie alone here in the dark
           F   C
Our spirits rise
                                F
To carry the fire and light the spark
           C                        G
To stand shoulder to shoulder and heart to heart

     F
Let your mind rest easy
        G       C
Sleep well my friend
                F                          G
It?s only our bodies that betray us in the end

        C                               F       C
Well I awoke last night in the dark and dreamy deep
                                   F            G
From my head to my feet my body?d gone stone cold
            F                   C
There were worms crawling all around me
                                                      G
My fingers scratchin? at an earth black and six foot low


 F                      C
Alone in the blackness of my grave
                        G
Alone I?d been left to die
        F                       C
Then I heard voices calling all ?round me
The earth rose above me
                     G
My eyes filled with sky


F        C    
We are alive
                                             G
And though our bodies lie alone here in the dark
           F   C
Our spirits rise
                                F
To carry the fire and light the spark
           C                        G           F       C
To stand shoulder to shoulder and heart to heart
           F            C           G           F C F C
To stand shoulder to shoulder and heart to heart        
        F  C
We are alive
