Born In Chains

C Em Am          C Em G


[Verse]
      C       G                Am
I was born in chains but I was 
                  G C
taken out of Egypt
                 Em              
I was bound to a burden, but the 
Am            G
burden it was raised
F             A7               
Lord I can no longer keep this 
Dm      A#
secret
               F         F#m     
Blessed is the name, the name be 
Gsus4    G
praised.
C                Em       Am    
I fled to the edge of the mighty
                G C
 sea of sorrow
               Em          Am     
Pursued by the riders of a cruel 
        G
and dark regime
               F             A    
But the waters parted and my soul 
        Dm      A#
crossed over
       F             F#m       
Out of Egypt, out of Pharaoh's 
Gsus4   G
dream.


[Chorus]
E7                    Am
Word of words and the measure of all
 measures
E7                               
Blessed is the name, the name be 
Am
blessed
              F        Fm    
Written on my heart in burning 
  C        Am

[Verse]
      C             Em           
I was idled with my soul, when I 
Am                          G C
heard that you could use me
                Em              Am
I followed very closely, but my 
                G
life remained the same
             F               A    
But then you showed me where you 
        Dm        A#
had been wounded
         F    F#m           Gsus4
In every atom broken is the name
   G

      C           Em         Am  
I was lost on the road, your love
                  G C
 was so confusing
                        Em         
And all the teachers told me that I
     Am        G
 had myself to blame
           F       A7      Dm    
But in the grip of sensual 
   A#
illusion
          F         F#m         
The sweet unknowing unifies the 
Gsus4   G
name


[Chorus]
E7                    Am
Word of words and the measure of all

E7

             G#                    
That's all I know, I cannot read 
  G
the rest


[Verse]
            C      Em           
I heard the soul unfolds in the 
Am                       G C
chambers of this longing
                     Em       Am  
As the bitter liquor sweetens in 
         G
the amber cup
               F              A7  
Ah but all the ladders of the 
       Dm       A#
night have fallen
     F                F#m    
Only darkness now, to lift the 
          Gsus4   G
longing up.
