the rising chords
bruce springsteen

capo ii

C G
can t see nothing in front of me
C G
can t see nothing coming up behind
C G
i make my way through this darkness
C G
i can t feel nothing but this chain that binds me
C G
lost track of how far i ve gone
C G
how far i ve gone , how high i ve climbed
C G
on my backs a sixty pound stone
C G
on my shoulder a half mile of line

C G
come on up for the rising
C G
come on up , lay your hands in mine
C G
come on up for the rising
C G
come on up for the rising tonight

left the house this morning
bells ringing filled the air
wearing the cross of my calling
on wheels of fire i come rolling down here

come on up for the rising
come on up , lay your hands in mine
come on up for the rising
come on up for the rising tonight

C G
there s spirits above and behind me
C G D
faces gone black , eyes burning bright

C G D

C G
i see you mary in the garden
C G
in the garden of a thousand sighs
C G
there s holy pictures of our children
C G
dancing in a sky filled with light
C G
may i feel your arms around me
C G
may i feel your blood mix with mine
C G
a dream of life comes to me
C G
like a catfish dancing on the end of my line

sky of blackness and sorrow ( a dream of life )
sky of love , sky of tears ( a dream of life )
sky of glory and sadness ( a dream of life )
sky of mercy , sky of fear ( a dream of life )
sky of memory and shadow ( a dream of life )
your burning wind fills my arms tonight
sky of longing and emptiness ( a dream of life )
sky of fullness , sky of blessed life

come on up for the rising
come on up , lay your hands in mine
come on up for the rising
come on up for the rising tonight
