Seven Seals

Seven Seals
by Dave Robinson, 19 April 2024
intro: D … C … G … G …
verse 1
I C9 looked at the abyss and I Dsus saw something amiss
a Am7 pre-historic dragon with a G fiery breath did hiss
the Am first seal to be open had a C lesson to reveal
the G thief would cometh only for to Am plunder and to steal .. (to Em plunder and to steal) …
verse 2
I C9 looked into the ocean and I Dsus saw the mighty beast
with a Am7 roar the roman army came to G conquer and to feast
the Am second seal was open and its C secret thus laid bare
the G games would soon begin, but the Am rules would not be fair .. (the Em rules would not be fair) …
verse 3
I C9 looked unto the land and what I Dsus saw was destitution
for Am7 every dollar made the land G demanded restitution
the Am third seal has been opened, the C banker has fore-closed
his G lust for gain of money to its Am evil root exposed .. (its Em evil root exposed) …
reprise
your D strength is like a spider’s web, the C thread is spun within
seven G horses, seven riders, go to D any length to win
every Am stranger that is born abound by C longing for a friend
seven G angels, seven horns resound, in a Am song that has no end
seven C seals and seven scrolls, seven G priests of seven churches
D life is but a struggle between C good and evil urges .. G … G …
fill: D … C … G … G …
verse 4
I C9 looked unto mount zion, where the Dsus lion of judah dwelt
but Am7 all I saw was iron ore in a G mine that would be smelt
the Am fourth of seals was opened and a C pale horse reared its head
the G soldier mounted on it seemed Am already to be dead .. (all Em ready to be dead) …
verse 5
I C9 looked into a temple with a Dsus needle not too high
one Am7 rabbi ruminate to thread a G camel through the eye
the Am fifth seal open wide when truth and C honesty had died
they thrust a G spear into its side, trust life and Am take it in your stride (trust life and Em take it in your stride) …
reprise
your D strength is like a spider’s web, the C thread is spun within
seven G horses, seven riders, go to D any length to win
every Am stranger that is born abound by C longing for a friend
seven G angels, seven horns resound, in a Am song that has no end
seven C seals and seven scrolls, seven G priests of seven churches
D life is but a struggle between C good and evil urges .. G … G …
fill: D … C … G … G …
verse 6
I C9 looked into the wilderness and I Dsus saw one wild-man yell
he said Am7 ‘repent ye of your sinfulness, or G walk the road to hell’
the Am sixth of seals had fallen, the cele-C-bration had begun
he said G ‘all will be invited, but not Am everyone will come’ .. (not Em everyone will come) …
verse 7
I C9 looked aghast at calvary, where a Dsus man hung on a cross
as he Am7 breathed his last he gasped to tell that G all would not be lost
when the Am seventh seal is opened and the C final trumpet sound
let G all the world take notice, you can’t Am keep a good man down .. (can’t Em keep a good man down) …
reprise
your D strength is like a spider’s web, the C thread is spun within
seven G horses, seven riders, go to D any length to win
every Am stranger that is born abound by C longing for a friend
seven G angels, seven horns resound, in a Am song that has no end
seven C seals and seven scrolls, seven G priests of seven churches
D life is but a struggle between C good and evil urges .. G … G …
fill: D … C … G … G … (repeat)
end:
seven C seals and seven scrolls, seven G priests of seven churches
D life is but a struggle between C good and evil urges .. G … G …
