This is my first time here! :) Please be nice? :D

Em           G    
Abraham took Isacc's hand 
D                  Am       Em
And led him to the lonesome hill
Em                  G
While his daughter hid and watched 
D                          Am     Em
She'd dare not breathe she was so still
G                D
Just as an angel cried for the slaughter,
Am                 Em
Abraham's daughter raised her voice.
Em
Em             G                  D
Then the angel asked her what her name was,
           Am     Em
She said, "I have none."
Em                  G
Then he asked, "How can this be? "
D                Am      Em
"My father never gave me one."
G                      D
And with his sword up, raised for the slaughter,
Am                 Em     G   Em
Abraham's daughter raised her bow.
G                       D
"How darest you, child, defy your father?"
Am                    Em G  Em                 
"You better let young Isaac go."
