Rich Mullins - Verge Of A Miracle Chords & Tabs

Verge of a Miracle



Transposed by Kevin Paddock. This, one of my favorite Rich Mullins songs, was recorded
in C# and not with the guitar in mind, mind you. But you can get a great sound emulating
the Rhodes with the guitar capoed 4; play the A position. Adjust the capo to your vocal 
range, but at least try it at 4 in order to play along with the recording.

CAPO 4

A2
[ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ]

Verse 1:
A2
 Clung   to a ball
         Asus         A
That was hung  in the sky
  C#m
Hurled into orbit
 F#m    E  D2
There you are
A2
 Wheth-  er you fall down
               A
Or whether you fly
 C#m                F#m  E  D2
Seems you can never get too far
E  E/D (is that E7?)    A/C#          D
   Some- one's waiting  to  put wings
A/C#    D                Esus   E  Esus  E  Bm7(4)
     Up-on your flightless heart

Chorus:
A/C#                              D2
     You're on the verge of a mir- a- cle
      G2    D    G2
Just stand-ing there
Bm7(4)  A/C#                            D2
Oh        you're on the verge of a mir- a- cle
      G2               Bm7(4)
Just wait-ing to be be-lieved in
A/C#               D2
Open your eyes and see
Esus                           A2
  You're on the verge of a mir-   a-   cle

Verse 2:
Here in your room
Where nobody can see
Voices are loud
But seldom clear
But beneath the confusion
That's running so deep
There is a promise you must hear
The love that seems so far away
Is standing very near

Repeat Chorus:
You're on the verge of a miracle
Standing there
Oh you're on the verge of a miracle
Just waiting to be believed in
Open your eyes and see

Bridge:
Bm7(4)          A2/C#
    When you've played out your last chance
D2              Esus                E        Bm7(4)
    And your di- rec- tions have all been lost
                             A2/C#                 D2
When the roads that you look down are all dead ends
                   Bm7       A/C#       D
Look up, you could see if you'd just look  up
 Bm7(4)   A/C#        D        G   D/G   G
[  /   /   /   /  ][   /   /   /         /   ]
 Bm7(4)   A/C#       Dmaj9?    G   D/G   G
[  /   /   /   /  ][   /   /   /         /   ]

Repeat Chorus:
You're on the verge of a miracle
Standing there
Oh you're on the verge of a miracle
Just waiting to be believed in
Open your eyes and see
You're on the verge of a miracle
