Key: 'A'

Intro:  Em C Em C

C                                          G
It stands to reason that a name is just a word.
           C                  Gm
It can be easily forgotten just as soon as it is heard.
    Am                               G/B
But one name was spoken before the world's first day
                C                            C
And it will be here when everything that is has passed away.
