John Mark Mcmillan

Biography:

John Mark McMillan is an indie rock artist from Charlotte, North Carolina, United States, where he grew up playing in local rock bands. In June of 2005, McMillan released his first album, Hope Anthology Volume One. Just a few months after the release of this album, McMillan lost his best friend in a tragic accident, bringing him into a troubling time. It was the grief caused by this accident, and the subsequent rise from it, that inspired him to create his second anthology, The Song Inside The Sounds of Breaking Down.

While some of the submitted chords are correct that this is in E, that's
not the best way to play it. The way to get the hammer on's is capo 4 in
the C position. It sounds better and is much more playable.


Capo 4
Intro x2
C//-/// G// C//-///-///-/// Am7// G// C// F//-///-///-///


Verse 1
C G C
Ten thousand glimmering like coals in our chest
Am7 G C F
Our ball bearings drawn to the magnetic breath
C G C
Of ten thousand weeping with wings on their tears
Am7 G C F
Amidst ten thousand voices for ten thousand years
C G C
For ten thousand graves yawning unlocked and unlatched
Am7 G C F
Now ten thousand holes with rocks on their backs
C G C
Ten thousand tombs gaping wide singing the praises
Am7 G C F
Of ten thousand bodies unlaced and unlaid


Pre - Chorus
G Am7 F
As the ten thousand highways unfold their doors
G Am7 F
For the ten thousand standing on Nineveh's shores
C G C
Where the blood of a husband silences wars
F G C
For the girl who rises to meet Him, and she sings


Chorus
F
World, I have overcome you
Am7
World, I have overcome you
G
World, I have overcome
F G
By my song and the blood of a son


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

Pre Chorus
Chorus x2
