Bare to the Bone
Words and Music By Carrie Newcomer
Capo 7 to match how Carrie plays it, but I often just play it in F or G.
In fact, unless you have a cutaway, capo 7 is going to be rough.
[Verse 1]
F C G Am
Here I am without a message, Here I stand with empty hands
F C G Am
Just a spirit tired of wandering like a stranger in this land
F C G Am
Walking wide eyed through this world is the only way I’ve known
F G Am C/D Am
Wrapped in hope and good intentions and Bare to the Bone
[Verse 2]
F C G Am
There is nothing I won’t show you There is nothing I can hide
F C G Am
I’ve risked it all and dreamt it all and seldom questioned why.
F C G Am
You took me in when I was hungry, when my spirit ached and groaned,
F G Am C/D Am
laid wide open and defenseless and Bare to the Bone
[Chorus]
F G C G/B Am
When I rise I rise in Glory, If I do I do by grace
F G C G/B Am
Time will wash away our footprints, And we’ll leave without a trace
F G C G/B Am
Between here and now and forever, is such precious little time
F G
What we do in love and kindness, is all we’ll ever leave behind
[Verse 3]
F C G Am
When my eyes are slowly fading and the light is softly waning
F C G Am
When the evening sun is setting and the world is barely breathing
F C G Am
Then your voice will call me and your hands will lead me home
F G Am C/D Am
like a newborn awed and naked and Bare to the Bone
[Chorus]
F G C G/B Am
When I rise I rise in Glory, If I do I do by grace
F G C G/B Am
Time will wash away our footprints, And we’ll leave without a trace
F G C G/B Am
Between here and now and forever, is such precious little time
F G
What we do in love and kindness, is all we’ll ever leave behind
