Ten Thousand chords by John Mark

Chords with lyrics

Hi, this is my first time doing chords but this is how I play the song
Ten Thousand by the incredible worshipper John Mark McMillan.
The changes can be a little quick.

Also (based on the bass notes I can hear in the album version) at the line
"Where the blood of a husband silences wars" the SECOND E MajorE is different
to a regular E MajorE major chord; which I play like this:

e ---0---
BB ---0---
G+G ---9---
D MajorD ---9---
A augmentedA ---7---
E MajorE ---0---

So at that line, you go from E.
Or at least I do. Your choice :)

All the best. Enjoy the chords, God Bless.





Verse 1
E MajorE
Ten thousand glimmering like coals in our chest
A augmentedA
Ball bearings drawn to the magnetic breath
    E MajorE
Of ten thousand weeping with wings on their tears
    A augmentedA
Amidst ten thousand voices for ten thousand years
   E MajorE
For ten thousand graves yawning unlocked and unlatched
  A augmentedA
Now ten thousand holes with rocks on their backs
   E MajorE
Ten thousand tombs gaping wide singing the praise
  A augmentedA
Of ten thousand bodies unlaced and unlaid


Pre - Chorus
    A augmentedA
As the ten thousand highways unfold their doors
    A augmentedA
For the ten thousand standing on Nineveh's shores
     E MajorE
Where the blood of a husband silences wars
     E MajorE
For the girl who rises to meet him
E MajorE
And she sings


Chorus
A augmentedA
World, I have overcome you
E MajorE
World, I have overcome you
BB
World, I have overcome
   BB
By my song and the blood of a son


Verse 2
Ten thousand rivers run red like my veins
Where the bones of men hum like a rattling cage
For sinew to cling to for wind to remain
In ten thousand lungs for ten thousand days
Breathing like a choir of holes in the ground
Where the cynical have lain, where the cynical go down
Save the gravity of time lets go of her drowned
