E Badd9 Aadd9 E
{[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
