---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ten Thousand - John Mark Mcmillan ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- These are the chords that the acoustic is playing during the song. Your going to have to figure out the strum pattern by yourself. The Chorus can be played with a D instead of a B but it's going to sound funny on guitar no matter what. Try it on a key board and it will fit. Intro : E,A Verse 1:

^ETen thousand glimmering like coals in our chest ^ABall bearings drawn to the magnetic breath Of t^Een thousand weeping with wings on their tears Amidst t^Aen thousand voices for ten thousand years For ten t^Ehousand graves yawning unlocked and unlatched Now t^Aen thousand holes with rocks on their backs Ten ^Ethousand tombs gaping wide singing the praise Of t^Aen thousand bodies unlaced and unlaid

Pre - Chorus:

As the t^Ben thousand highways u^Anfold their doors For the t^Ben thousand standing on N^Aineveh's shores Where the bl^Eood of a husband sil^Aences wars ^BFor the girl who rises to m^Eeet him and she sings

Chorus:

^AWorld, I have overcome you ^EWorld, I have overcome you ^BWorld, I have overcome By my s^Aong and the bl^Eood of a s^Bon

Verse 2:

^ETen thousand rivers run red like my veins ^AWhere the bones of men hum like a rattling cage ^EFor sinew to cling to for wind to remain ^AIn ten thousand lungs for ten thousand days ^EBreathing like a choir of holes in the ground ^AWhere the cynical have lain, where the cynical go down ^ESave the gravity of time lets go of her drowned ^ALike ten thousand sparrows unlocked and unwound
