Born In Chains
Ton : GEnglish
Couplet
GI was Bmborn in chains Embut I was taken out of Egypt
I was Gbound to a Bmburden, but Emthe burden it was Draised
Oh CLord, I can Eno longer keep this Amsecret F
Blessed is the Cname, C#(dim)the name be D(sus4)praised. D
Couplet
I fled to the edge of a mighty sea of sorrow
Pursued by the riders of a cruel and dark regime
But the waters parted and my soul crossed over
Out of Egypt, out of Pharaoh's dream.
Refrain
Word of B7words and the measure of all Emmeasures
Blessed is the B7name, the name be Emblessed
CWritten on my Cmheart in burning Gletters Em
That's all I D#know, I cannot read the Drest.
Couplet
I was idle with my soul, when I heard that you could use me
I followed very closely, but my life remained the same
But then you showed me where you had been wounded
In every atom, broken is the name.
Couplet
I was alone on the road, your love was so confusing
And all the teachers told me that I had myself to blame
But in the arms of sensual illusion
A sweet unknowing, unified the name.
Refrain
Word of words, and measure of all measures
Blessed is the name, the name be blessed
Written on my heart in burning letters
That's all I know, I cannot read the rest.
Couplet
I've heard the soul unfold in the chambers of its longing
And the bitter liquor sweeten in the hammered cup
Ah but all the ladders of the night have fallen
Just darkness now, to lift the spirit up.
G Bm Em
G Bm Em D
Couplet
But Call the ladders Eof the night have Amfallen F
Just darkness Cnow, to C#(dim)lift the spirit D(sus4)up. D
Refrain
Word of words, and measure of all measures
Blessed is the name, the name be blessed
Written on my heart in burning letters
That's all I know, I cannot read the rest.
Cannot read the Grest.
