Abraham's daughter by Arcade Fire

Em.    D.  Em.          D
abraham took isaac's hand 
      Em.       D.      Em
and led him to the lonesome hill
              D.           Em
while his daughter hid and watched
                      D.                 Em
she dared not breathe she was so still
               D.                                Em
just as an angel cried for the slaughter
                    D.                        Em
abraham's daughter raised her voice
             D.             Em.           D
then the angel asked her what her 
                                 Em
name was she said i have none
              D.             Em
then he asked how can this be
                 Em.    D.         Em 
my father never gave me one
                                    D.                     Em
and when he saw her raised for the slaughter
        Em.    
abraham's daughter raised her bow
                         D.                         Em
how darest you child defy your father
              Em
you better let young isaac go
