Intro  G  C  G
      (G  C  D)

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

   G                               
A voice cried out, I was killed in 
 C           G
Maryland in 1877
G                          C     
When the railroad workers made 
     D
their stand
             G                
Well, I was killed in 1963 one 
  C                 G
Sunday morning in Birmingham
G                                 
Well, I died last year crossing 
   C         D
the southern desert
     G                      C    G
My children left behind in San Pablo
G                          C      
Well they left our bodies here to 
 D
rot
                               G 
Oh please let them know…   WE ARE 
   C   G
ALIVE…
G                            C   
Oh, and though we lye alone here 
        D
in the dark
           G    C   G            
OUR SOULS WILL RISE…     To carry
               C         D
 the fire and light the spark
    G                            
To fight shoulder to shoulder and 
  C           G
HEART…   TO HEART…

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