We Are Alive Chords & Tabs
“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
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….
