Eliza Gilkyson - Emmanuel


INTRO: C majorC  FF C majorC A minorAm G+G C majorC FF C majorC

           FF    C majorC
When at first I came into this land
    A minorAm    G+G   FF
In the highlands I did dwell
   C majorC       FF    C majorC
Where ancient winged masters taught
  A minorAm    G+G    FF  C majorC
The depths of wisdom's well

       FF      C majorC
Emmanuel, he walked with me
  A minorAm   G+G   FF
And secrets he did share
  C majorC      FF    C majorC
The order of the swirling stars
  A minorAm   G+G     FF  C majorC
The laws of earth and air


  A minorAm       C majorC
The golden pipes of heaven
   E minorEm      FF
He entrusted in my care
  C majorC   G+G   C majorC   FF
And I sang of the mercy of
 G+G  C majorC
Emmanuel


         FF   C majorC
In time I went a-wandering
 A minorAm   G+G    FF
Into the world of man
  C majorC         FF    C majorC
And though I knew the sacred songs
  A minorAm    G+G    FF  C majorC
My separate dreams began


  A minorAm         C majorC
And when I thought the pipes were mine
  E minorEm         FF
My eyes grew blind as well
  C majorC     G+G     C majorC   FF
My soul from heights of heaven fell
 G+G  C majorC
Emmanuel

A minorAm
Slumbering, sleeping

Slipping through seasons of silent night
  FF
The servant, the snake

The soldier, a storm
 DmDm   E minorEm
A augmentedA poet, a mother
 FF
A augmentedA child stillborn
 FF    G+G
A augmentedA rock, a star
 A minorAm
A augmentedA drunk in a bar


How many more times, dancing the skin dance

Sorting the systems of violence, romance
FF
Sobbing the sorrow, walking the wheel
E minorEm
Hiding the horror, fighting the feel
FF      G+G       A minorAm
Pushing the wheel, like a rock up a hill
        G+G
Until, until, until


  C majorC        FF     C majorC
I?m drawn so slowly step by step
  A minorAm   G+G    FF
Out of this darkened place
  C majorC      FF   C majorC
So unaccustomed to the light
  A minorAm  G+G   FF   C majorC
So wary of its grace


  A minorAm      C majorC
Oh, how I long to hear the pipes
 E minorEm      FF
I held before I fell
  C majorC    G+G    C majorC    FF
And sing the ancient songs of love
 G+G  C majorC
Emmanuel


CHOIR INTERLUDE:
         G+G   C majorC      G+G   FF C majorC
      Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah


          FF  C majorC
From out of dreams awakening
  A minorAm    G+G    FF
It seems ten thousand years
   C majorC      FF      C majorC
Since I beheld my true love's face
  A minorAm     G+G     FF   C majorC
And cried these cleansing tears


      A minorAm   C majorC
The songs returning one by one
  E minorEm       FF
Out of my memory's well
  C majorC   G+G    C majorC    FF
How can I lay them at your feet
 G+G  C majorC
Emmanuel?
C majorC   G+G    C majorC
Can I lay them at your feet
FF G+G  FF C majorC
Emmanuel?
