These are the chords that the acoustic is playing during the song. Your going to
have to figure out the strum pattern by yourself. The Chorus can be played with a
D instead of a B but it's going to sound funny on guitar no matter what. Try it on
a key board and it will fit.
Intro : E,A
Verse 1:
[E]Ten thousand glimmering like coals in our chest
[A]Ball bearings drawn to the magnetic breath
Of t[E]en thousand weeping with wings on their tears
Amidst t[A]en thousand voices for ten thousand years
For ten t[E]housand graves yawning unlocked and unlatched
Now t[A]en thousand holes with rocks on their backs
Ten [E]thousand tombs gaping wide singing the praise
Of t[A]en thousand bodies unlaced and unlaid
Pre - Chorus:
As the t[B]en thousand highways u[A]nfold their doors
For the t[B]en thousand standing on N[A]ineveh's shores
Where the bl[E]ood of a husband sil[A]ences wars
[B]For the girl who rises to m[E]eet him
and she sings
Chorus:
[A]World, I have overcome you
[E]World, I have overcome you
[B]World, I have overcome
By my s[A]ong and the bl[E]ood of a s[B]on
Verse 2:
[E]Ten thousand rivers run red like my veins
[A]Where the bones of men hum like a rattling cage
[E]For sinew to cling to for wind to remain
[A]In ten thousand lungs for ten thousand days
[E]Breathing like a choir of holes in the ground
[A]Where the cynical have lain, where the cynical go down
[E]Save the gravity of time lets go of her drowned
[A]Like ten thousand sparrows unlocked and unwound
