While some of the submitted chords are correct that this is in E, that's
not the best way to play it. The way to get the hammer on's is capo 4 in
the C position. It sounds better and is much more playable.
Capo 4

Verse 1
CTen thousand glimmering like Gcoals in our Cchest
Am7Our ball bearings Gdrawn to the Cmagnetic Fbreath
Of tCen thousand weeping with Gwings on their tCears
Amidst Am7ten thousand Gvoices for Cten thousand Fyears
For tCen thousand graves yawning Gunlocked and unClatched
Now Am7ten thousand Gholes with Crocks on their bFacks
Ten tChousand tombs gaping wide sGinging the Cpraises
Of Am7ten thousand Gbodies unClaced and unFlaid
Pre - Chorus
As the Gten thousand highways Am7unfold their dFoors
For the Gten thousand standing on Am7Nineveh's sFhores
Where the Cblood of a husband sGilences Cwars
For the gFirl who Grises to Cmeet Him, and she sings
Chorus
FWorld, I have overcome you
Am7World, I have overcome you
GWorld, I have overcome
By my Fsong and the blood of a Gson
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
Like ten thousand sparrows unlocked and unwound
Pre Chorus
Chorus x2
