Abraham's Daughter


Capo on First



Em   D        Em     D        Em      D     Em   D  Em
Abraham took Isaac's hand and led him to a lonesome hill

Em        D        Em        D           Em        D           Em  D  Em
While his daughter hid and watched she dared not breathe she was so still


G                 D                          
Just as an angel cried for the slaughter 

Em                 D          Em                                   
Abraham's daughter raised her voice


Em       D     Em        D        Em       D        Em D    Em
Then the angel asked her what her name was she said "I have none"

Em      D         Em       D       Em     D     Em   D  Em
Then he said "how can this be" "My father never gave me one"


G                   D         
And when he saw her raised for the slaughter 
 
Em                 D          Em
Abraham's daughter raised her bow

G                     D
"How darest you child defy your father,

Em                     D     Em
You'd better let young Isaac go.
