Chris De Burgh - The Rivers Of Abraham
 
 
           G                  Em
He walked alone, up the rocky road
            D                  Am
To find the place, to read the stone
              G                              F
And bring the word back, from the top of the mountain
               D
Where it would be
 
 
              G                       Em
The lightning struck, and the thunder roared
                D                      Am
As he lifted it up, in the name of the lord
         G                      D
And many waited for the new revelation
                  C  D              G
They are ready to go, they're going home
 
 
CHORUS:
                  C                   G
And the rivers of Abraham are running free
                   C                    G
With the dawn of a waking man, and destiny
                 C         D C G
To the garden of Eden, and Paradise
                 Am      C             G
We will never be broken, we will never die
 
 
             G                    Em
We cross the bridge to the silver bird
            D                       Am
And say goodbye to the ones that we love
            G                          F
No skies or oceans in the place we are going
                  D
Like seeds on the wind
 
 
             G                 Em
The time has come, we shut the door
                D                      Am
We are ready to go, in the name of the lord
           G                      D
A world is waiting for a new destination
                C  D            G
We are ready to go, we're going home
 
 
CHORUS:
                  C                   G
And the rivers of Abraham are running free
                   C                    G
With the dawn of a waking man, and destiny
                 C         D C G
To the garden of Eden, and Paradise
                 Am      C             G
We will never be broken, we will never die
 
 
CHORUS:
                  C                   G
And the rivers of Abraham are running free
                   C                    G
With the dawn of a waking man, and destiny
                 C         D C G
To the garden of Eden, and Paradise
                 Am      C             G
We will never be broken, we will never die
 
 
OUTRO:

And the rivers of Abraham are running free

We will never be broken and we will never die
