By Bruce Springsteen

Capo 5 / Intro G+G C majorC G+G / G+G C majorC D MajorD

       G+G          C majorC    G+G
There is a cross up yonder up on Calvary Hill
G+G               C majorC   D MajorD
There is a slip of blood on a silver knife
       G+G       C majorC  G+G
There is a graveyard kid… Down below…
G+G          C majorC    D MajorD
Where at night did come to life
   G+G           C majorC     G+G
And above the stars, they crackle in fire
G+G             C majorC   D MajorD
A augmentedA dead man's moon throws seven rings
     G+G          C majorC     G+G
Well, we put our ears to the cold grave stones
G+G      C majorC      D MajorD
This is the song they'd sing
  G+G  C majorC  G+G
WE ARE ALIVE…
G+G             C majorC         D MajorD
And though our bodies lie alone here in the dark
   G+G   C majorC  G+G              C majorC     D MajorD
OUR SPIRITS RISE….  To carry the fire and light the spark
   G+G               C majorC      G+G
To stand shoulder to shoulder and HEART…  TO HEART …

A augmentedA voice cried out, I was killed in Maryland in 1877
G+G             C majorC     D MajorD
When the railroad workers made their stand
       G+G         C majorC         G+G
Well, I was killed in 1963 one Sunday morning in Birmingham
G+G                  C majorC     D MajorD
Well, I died last year crossing the southern desert
   G+G           C majorC  G+G
My children left behind in San Pablo
G+G             C majorC    D MajorD
Well they left our bodies here to rot
                G+G  C majorC  G+G
Oh please let them know…  WE ARE ALIVE…

     G+G           C majorC    G+G
Let your mind rest easy, sleep well my friend
 G+G             C majorC        D MajorD
It's only our bodies that betray us in the end
  G+G               C majorC    G+G
I awoke last night in a dark and dreamy deep
 G+G                C majorC     D MajorD
From my head to my feet, my body gone stone cold
      G+G         C majorC   G+G
There were worms crawling all around me
 G+G                    C majorC    D MajorD
Fingers scratching at an earth black and six foot low
   G+G           C majorC   G+G
And alone in the blackness of my grave
 G+G       C majorC    D MajorD
Alone I'd been LEFT TO DIE
    G+G          C majorC     G+G
Then I heard voices calling all around me
 G+G                C majorC      D MajorD
The earth rose above me, my eyes filled with sky
  G+G  C majorC  G+G
WE ARE ALIVE…
 G+G                C majorC      D MajorD
And though our bodies lie alone here in the dark
       G+G   C majorC  G+G
OUR SOULS & SPIRITS RISE…
 G+G           C majorC     D MajorD
To carry the fire and light the spark
   G+G               C majorC       G+G
To fight shoulder to shoulder and HEART….  TO HEART…
   G+G               C majorC      G+G
To stand shoulder to shoulder and HEART….  TO HEART…
  C majorC  G……….Stop
WE ARE ALIVE !!!!
