Andrew Peterson – Rise And Shine chords

[Intro]

G Am D C G

 

 

[Verse 1]

     G

I remember how the snow fell in December

      C

And angels flew in pageants and in dreams

       Am

And I came in at six o'clock from a long hard day of playing

         C

To the warmth of Mama's cookin'

                                 G

Or was it the warmth of Mama's love?

 

             G

There were cardboard pirate ships and mud puddle seas

         C

And the backyard was a battleground for cowboys

      Am

When Daddy drug me outta bed on early Sunday morning

   C

I remember how he smiled at me and said--

 

 

[Chorus]

          G                C

He said, "Rise, rise and shine

     Am

The day is coming on

                  C

And you know the night is gone

     G

So rise."

 

 

[Verse 2]

     G

I remember how the shepherds lay in slumber

         C

And the angels came and broke them from their dreams

     Am

When Mary raised her weary head

     Am

And Joseph stood there grinning

      C

The world awoke to the coming of a king

 

            G

There were haystacks in his palace

        G

And a manger was his throne

      C

As a hush fell on the little town of David

         Am

And the hillside never shined so bright

   Am

As early Christmas morning

            C

You could almost hear the very heavens sing

 

 

[Chorus]

             G               C

They sang, "Rise, rise and shine

    Am

The sun is coming in

                  C

And the morning light is shining in

      G                  C

Your eyes, oh rise and shine

    Am

The day is coming on

                   C               Em

And you know the night is gone so rise"

[Verse 3]

    Em

I remember how the sunlight turned to thunder

          C

And the people ran for shelter from the rain

         Am

And the curtain tore and the saints awoke

         Am

And the whole earth seemed to tremble

          C

From the fury of God's anger

                        G

Or was it the fury of His love?

 

             G

There were shadows on the tomb there in the garden

         C

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

 

 

[Chorus]

           G               C

He said, "Rise, rise and shine

     Am

The sun is coming in

                 C

And the morning light is shining in

      G                  C

Your eyes, oh rise and shine

     Am

The day is coming on

                   C               G

And you know the night is gone so rise"
