{[Verse]
          E
There’s a tale
        Badd9
Told by soldiers
   Aadd9              E 
Of two sons and their father
        E             Badd9 Aadd9      
As they sailed to old Palestine
E               Badd9
True were these brothers
     Aadd9                E
They sailed to bury their father
           E           Badd9 Aadd9
They would fight for Jerusalem

[Chorus]
            Aadd9    Bsus  E
You will be meek when I am able
              Aadd9  Badd9  E
You’ll be the salt upon the table
            Aadd9    Badd9      C#m
When all is said and done could you
    Badd9  Aadd9   Bsus E    
Somehow be sons of Abraham

[Verse]
      E         Badd9
I was told by a stranger
     Aadd9                     E
Of a young blood thrown to the desert
   E        Badd9              Aadd9
He united a people with his hands
       E           Badd9
In the wane to the crescent
   Aadd9               E
He fed the lion to the pheasant
         E             Badd9     Aadd9
He would stride to the spring of Zam Zam

[Chorus]
            Aadd9    Bsus  E
You will be meek when I am able
              Aadd9  Badd9  E
You’ll be the salt upon the table
            Aadd9    Badd9      C#m
When all is said and done could you
    Badd9  Aadd9   Bsus E    
Somehow be sons of Abraham  

[Verse]     
          E            Badd9
There’s a tale told by soldiers
  Aadd9              E
A young boy taken to slaughter
       E            Badd9    Aadd9
He was saved by his father’s hand
       E             Badd9
He was prized and protected
    Aadd9             E
And prince he was elected
          E        Badd9         Aadd9
He was to save the wolves with a lamb

[Chorus]
            Aadd9    Bsus  E
You will be meek when I am able
              Aadd9  Badd9  E
You’ll be the salt upon the table
            Aadd9    Badd9      C#m
When all is said and done could you
    Badd9  Aadd9   Bsus E    
Somehow be sons of Abraham  

[Verse]
          E           Badd9
There’s a tomb out by Jordan
      Aadd9                   E
Where two sides stop to adore him
        E            Badd9 Aadd9
As they fight for Jerusalem
