ONE BY ONE
The Calling

Intro: Em D C (slow strumming 4x)
       Em D C (4x)


Em            D                  C
   He stands alone outside the blooming yard
Em          D                 C
   All is calm there on the street
Em              D        C
   The shadows pass him hung right over
Em                  D                 C
   The pain on his face he knew he'd keep...
Em              D               C
   His hair is long, and it's twisted, it's twisted
Em              D                    C
   Around the smile spread cheek to cheek
Em           D             C
   Another child, another soul, grabs a hold
        Em              D          C
To the metal that will end his misery


CHORUS:
G
One by one
    D                Em
We stand beneath the sun
                C
With arms high open wide
G
Two by two
      D
He's getting you
    Em                 C
To watch him as he leaves this life he knew


Em  D  C


Em           D        C
   How much anger is set aside
Em          D         C
   As each one of us cries
Em               D             C
Red lights they come and they take him away
         Em                D            C
In the thoughts, he'll be better, some day...
Em                    D
   Tied tight, can't see out your eyes
           C
That he's sure to shine, sure to shine
         Em          D                  C
In this deep dark, played out, reality show
   Em            D             C
So,   who's the man, with the plan eating up all that he can
Em            D              C
   Don't you see, don't you see...


Repeat Chorus

Repeat 2nd line of Intro


(One strum per chord in this verse)
Em                                    D
   Do you ever think that things are meant to be?
           C                    D
I know we all have our reasons why
Em                          D
   And now the power of one human being
              C              D
Has gone to change so many lives...


Repeat Chorus

He's getting through to you, oh
G              D    Em      C   G          D          Em
One by one we stand,   we stand,  yeah we stand, over,
       C
