Ten Thousand Chords by John Mark

Ten Thousand chords by John Mark

Guitar 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 is different
to a regular E major chord; which I play like this:

e ---0---
B ---0---
G ---9---
D ---9---
A ---7---
E ---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
Ten thousand glimmering like coals in our chest
A
Ball bearings drawn to the magnetic breath
       E
Of ten thousand weeping with wings on their tears
       A
Amidst ten thousand voices for ten thousand years
     E
For ten thousand graves yawning unlocked and unlatched
    A
Now ten thousand holes with rocks on their backs
     E
Ten thousand tombs gaping wide singing the praise
   A
Of ten thousand bodies unlaced and unlaid


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


Chorus
A
World, I have overcome you
E
World, I have overcome you
B
World, I have overcome
      B
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
