We're all still here
no one has gone away

Waiting, acting much too

well and procrastinating
E7 F#
The cross of the earth
(let me go through)
The four winds point them
Body to body
Seas to anoint them
The reed they brought him
Sponge and vinegar
Fiery serpents
Spitting gold and cinnamon
The moon was bleeding
And stars were shallow
And the sword that killed him
B
Was a sword of willow
E B E B
Hello I must be going well I only came to say

I hear my mother calling and I must be on my way
Am7* D/F# Am7* Bm D/F# Bm
Ohhhhhhhh I remember it all from before
E7 F#
The winter and the midnight
Could not hold him
The fire could not burn him
Nor earth enfold him
Rise up Lazarus
Sweet and salty
Brother soldiers
Stop your gambling and talk to me
The thieves were stealers
But reason condemned him
And the grave was empty
B
Where they had laid him

The golden angel wrote my name
When the deal goes down I'll put my crown
