Petra - Graverobber
Bob Hartman
I just took what “sevens” started and fixed the issues I heard. Hope you enjoy it!
Beginning is hammer ons and pull offs with Dm and Cadd9 chords
Dm Bbmaj7
There's a step that we all take alone,
Cadd9 C/B A
An appointment we have with the great unknown,
Dm Bbmaj7
Like a vapor this life is just waiting to pass,
Cadd9 C/B A
Like the flowers that fade, like the withering grass,
Dm Bbmaj7
But life seems so long and death so complete &
Cadd9 C/B A
The grave an impossible portion to cheat,
Dm Bbmaj7
But there is one who has been there & still lived to tell,
Cadd9 C/B A
There is one who has been thru both Heaven & Hell,
A Abm G F#m
And the Grave will come up empty handed that day,
F G
Jesus will come and steal us away
Chorus:
C C/B Am
Where is the sting, tell me where is the bite?
Am G
When the Grave Robber comes like a thief in the night,
C C/B Am
Where is the victory, where is the prize?
Am F G Dm
When the Grave Robber comes and death finally dies
Dm Bmaj7
Many still mourn, many still weep
Cadd9 C/B A
For those that they love who have fallen asleep,
Dm Bmaj7
But we have this hope though our hearts may still ache,
Cadd9 C/B A
Just one shout from above and they all will awake
A Am G Fm
And in the reunion what Joy we will see,
F G
Death will be swallowed in sweet Victory
Chorus:
C C/B Am
Where is the sting, tell me where is the bite?
Am G
When the Grave Robber comes like a thief in the night,
C C/B Am
Where is the victory, where is the prize?
Am F G A
When the Grave Robber comes and death finally dies
(Bridge)
G A Bb F G
When the last enemy is gone, from the dust will come a song,
A G A Bb F G
Those asleep will Be awakened, not a one will be forsaken
A G A Bb F G
He will wipe away our tears, He will steal away our fears
A G A Bb F G
There will be no sad tomorrow, there will be no pain, no sorrow
Chorus:
C C/B Am
Where is the sting, tell me where is the bite?
Am G
When the Grave Robber comes like a thief in the night,
C C/B Am
Where is the victory, where is the prize?
Am F G
When the Grave Robber comes and death finally
Chorus:
C C/B Am
Where is the sting, tell me where is the bite?
Am G
When the Grave Robber comes like a thief in the night,
C C/B Am
Where is the victory, where is the prize?
Am F G C
When the Grave Robber comes and death finally dies
