Rise And Shine

G Am D C G

     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--

          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."

     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

             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"

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

           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"
