SPRINGSTEEN BRUCE - "rising" Tablature
Official SPRINGSTEEN BRUCE Tablature & Sheet Music »
Bruce Springsteen & The E-Street Band
"The Rising"
This is the title track to Bruce's 2002 release. A phenomenal album that
features the E-Street sound we grew to love, with a pertinent and powerful
lyrical base. This song is no exception, and perfectly exemplifies what we
know and love about Bruce's music. Rock.

CAPO 1st Fret and play every chord as if thats the nut.
The verse and chorus are the same, with a simple progression of "Asus" to "A"
in their E-string based barre-chord/power-chord formation. Use the same
formation for all the other chords too throughout the song.
Note: Asus and A are truly A#sus and A# if you play it without a capo.
VERSE:
Asus A
Can't see nothin' in front of me
Asus A
Can't see nothin' coming up behind
Asus A
I make my way through this darkness
Asus A
I can't feel nothing but this chain that binds me
Asus A
Lost track of how far I've gone
Asus A
How far I've gone, how high I've climbed
Asus A
On my back's a sixty pound stone
Asus A
On my shoulder a half mile of line
CHORUS:
Asus A
Come on up for the rising
Asus A
Come on up, lay your hands in mine
Asus A
Come on up for the rising
Asus A
Come on up for the rising tonight
Left the house this morning
Bells ringing filled the air
Wearin' the cross of my calling
On wheels of fire I come rollin' down here
Come on up for the rising
Come on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight
BRIDGE:
E D
Li,li, li,li,li,li,li, li,li
SOLO: E D A E x2
E D
There's spirits above and behind me
A E
Faces gone black, eyes burnin' bright
E D
May their precious blood bind me
A E
Lord, as I stand before your fiery light
E D
Li,li, li,li,li,li,li, li,li
I see Mary in the garden
In the garden of a thousand sighs
There's holy pictures of our children
Dancin' in a sky filled with light
May I feel your arms around me
May I feel your blood mix with mine
A dream of life comes to me
Like a catfish dancin' on the end of my line
Sky of blackness and sorrow ( a dream of life)
Sky of love, sky of tears (a dream of life)
Sky of glory and sadness ( a dream of life)
Sky of mercy, sky of fear ( a dream of life)
Sky of memory and shadow ( a dream of life)
Your burnin' wind fills my arms tonight
Sky of longing and emptiness (a dream of life)
Sky of fullness, sky of blessed life
Come on up for the rising
Come on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight
Li,li, li,li,li,li, li,li,li
