Em    D      G        Am      C       D       Em
Abraham took Isaac's hand and led him to the lonesome hill
Em          D       G       Am
While his daughter hid and watched
     C          D          Em
She dared not breathe, she was so still

G                 D
Just as an angel cries for the slaughter, 
 C                  D           Em
Abraham's daughter raised her voice


Em       D      G        Am       C
Then the angel asked her what her name was
D          Em
She said, "I have none."
Em       D          G        Am
Then he asked, "How can this be?"
    C       D     Em
"My father never gave me one."

G                   D
And with his sword raised for the slaughter, 
C                   D         Em
Abraham's daughter raised her bow
 G                       D
"How darest you, child, defy your father!"
 C                    D      Em
"You better let young Isaac go."
