                             Ten Thousand - John Mark Mcmillan 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
These are the chords that the acoustic is playing during the song. Your going to 
have to figure out the strum pattern by yourself. The Chorus can be played with a 
D instead of a B but it's going to sound funny on guitar no matter what. Try it on 
a key board and it will fit. 

Intro : E,A

Verse 1:
E                                 
Ten thousand glimmering like coals in our chest
A
Ball bearings drawn to the magnetic breath
    E
Of ten thousand weeping with wings on their tears
        A
Amidst ten thousand voices for ten thousand years
         E
For ten thousand graves yawning unlocked and unlatched
     A
Now ten thousand holes with rocks on their backs
    E
Ten thousand tombs gaping wide singing the praise
    A
Of ten thousand bodies unlaced and unlaid


Pre - Chorus:
        B                     A
As the ten thousand highways unfold their doors
         B                        A
For the ten thousand standing on Nineveh's shores
            E                   A                               
Where the blood of a husband silences wars
B                          E
For the girl who rises to meet him
and she sings


Chorus:
A
World, I have overcome you
E
World, I have overcome you
B
World, I have overcome
       A             E         B
By my song and the blood of a son


Verse 2: 
E
Ten thousand rivers run red like my veins
A
Where the bones of men hum like a rattling cage
E
For sinew to cling to for wind to remain
A
In ten thousand lungs for ten thousand days
E
Breathing like a choir of holes in the ground
A
Where the cynical have lain, where the cynical go down
E
Save the gravity of time lets go of her drowned
A
Like ten thousand sparrows unlocked and unwound
