_ _ _ _ _ I remember the day of the Tennessee flood The _ _ _ _ _ sound of the scream and the sight of the
blood My _ son he saw as the animal died
In [C] the jaws of the dog as the river ran by
I said come _ back _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ It's there on the page of the book that I
read The _ _ _ boy grew up and the yearling was dead _ _ _
_ He stood at the gate with the angel on guard And wept to the death of his little boy [Am] heart
I said come _ [G]
back [F] _ [C] soon _ _ [Am] Come _ [G] _ back [C] soon _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _
[G] And we awaken the night in the [Am] womb of the [C] world _
[Cm] We beat [G] our fists on the [C] door Can't [G] _ breathe [Am] in the sea [C] that swirls
_ _ [Am] We've grown [G] in this great [F] darkness _ [Em] Poor [C] deliverance, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
deliverance oh lord _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I sit on the bench at the bend in the trail And _ _ I can feel in the fall the final exhale _
_ _ _ The trees of the field all wring their hands And leaves go by like a funeral band
I [Am] say come [G] _ _ [C] back soon _
_ [Am] Come _ [G] back [F] soon
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] And we awaken the night in the [C] womb of the world
We beat [G] our fists on the [C]
door _ _ Can't breathe in the sea [F] that _ _ swirls
[Am] We've grown in this [C] great darkness _ Are [Am] we alone in this [C] great darkness?
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ If [C] nature's red in tooth and in claw _ _ Seems to me that she's an outlaw
_ Cause every death is a [G] question mark At [C] the end of the book of a beating heart
[Am] And the answer's scrawled on [G] the silent dark [C] In the dome of the sky and a billion [Am] stars
But we cannot breathe [G] these angel tongues [C] We cannot stare at the burning sun
We [Am] cannot breathe these [G] broken lungs We [C] can't get along when we beg to be born
[G]
Deliverance, [C] _ _ _ [G] _ [Am] _ _
deliverance oh [C] lord _ _ Deliverance, _ _ _ deliverance [C] oh lord _ _
