Rise and ShineCifra de Teclado

VERSE 1: 
       G 
Well I remember how the snow fell in December 
    C 
The angels flew in pageants and in dreams 
     Am 
When I came in at six o'clock from a long hard day of playing 
    C                                                       G 
The warmth of Mama's cooking or was it the warmth of Mama's love 

           G 
There were cardboard pirate ships in mud-puddle seas 
        C 
And the backyard was a battleground for cowboys 
    Am 
And daddy drug me out of bed one early Sunday morning 
    C 
I remember how he smiled at me and said he said 

HALF 
 
G              C 
Rise, rise and shine 
    Am                                C                G 
The day is coming on and you know the night is gone so rise
 

VERSE 2: 
I remember how the shepherds lay in slumber 
The angels came and broke them from their dreams 
When Mary raised her weary head and Joseph stood there grinning 
The world awoke to the coming of a King 

There were haystacks in His palace and a manger was His throne 
As a hush fell on the little town of David 
The hillside never shined so bright as early Christmas morning 
You could almost hear the very heavens sing they sang 



G              C 
Rise, rise and shine 
    Am                               C                        G 
The sun is coming in and the morning light is shining in your eyes 
             C 
Oh, rise and shine 
    Am                                C                Em 
The day is coming on and you know the night is gone so rise

VERSE 3: 
  Em 
I remember how the sunlight turned to thunder 
    Cadd9 
The people ran for shelter from the rain 
    Am 
The curtain tore and the saints awoke and the whole earth seemed to tremble 
         C                                             G 
From the fury of God's anger or was it the fury of His love 

           G 
There were shadows on the tomb there in the garden 
        Cadd9 
And the mist was rising slowly through the trees 
     Am 
When Mary saw the silhouette on early Easter morning 
  C 
I remember how He smiled at her and said He said
