Band: The Wedding
Album: The Sound The Steel EP
Song: Redeem (Track 5)


This is probably my favorite song on The Sound The Steel EP by The Wedding.
It's absolutely beautiful, and it's really easy. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
This song was written for piano, so the chords might not transfer to guitar so 
well, but I'm 99.9% sure they're right!
Listen to the song for the proper rhythms and chord placements. :)

       F
The strong winter storm,
        Dm
As it blows from the north.
       Gm  F   Dm      C
Brings danger, to our bones.

          F
But with careful retreat,
    Dm
As careful can be.
     Gm   F     Dm      C
We might just, make it home.

       Dm                        C
Oh and try as we may, Your love always remains,
        Bb     F            Dm         C                           Bb
And we cannot afford to be afraid anymore, let's stay the course.
(Bb)    F             Dm
Hold on tight, Jesus Christ, 
      C
Satellites are calling.

Bb   F      Dm   C     
Hey-oh, Hey-oh... We're not alone.
Bb   F      Dm   C
Hey-oh, Hey-oh... We're not alone.

Bb   F      Dm   C   x2

      F
As we brace for the sound,
       Dm
Of the deafening crowd,
             Gm    F    Dm    C
Screaming: "Lord, have mercy now".

            F
I hear the words of my King,
         Dm
As they echo underneath:
           Gm    F     Dm      C
"My hand awaits, rise to your feet".

        Dm                       C
Oh and die as we may, Your love always remains.
       Bb       F            Dm       C                            Bb
And we cannot afford, to be afraid anymore, let's stay the course. 
(Bb)          F           Dm
And hold on tight, Jesus Christ, 
       C
Satellites are calling.

Bb   F      Dm   C
Hey-oh, hey-oh... We're not alone.
Bb   F      Dm   C
Hey-oh, hey-oh... We're not alone.

(Interjections by the lead vocals, continue Bb F Dm C progression)

We're not, we're not, we're not alone.

No, we're not alone.

We're not, we're not alone...

We're not alone, no, no.

    Bb     F            Dm       C                            Bb
We cannot afford to be afraid anymore, let's stay the course.
(Bb)         F             Dm
And hold on tight, Jesus Christ,
     C
Satellites are calling...

(Group Vocals)

Bb   F      Dm   C
Hey-oh, hey-oh. We're not alone.

       Come on, come on! (Thrown in by lead vocalist after the first Hey-oh)
Bb   F      Dm   C
Hey-oh, hey-oh. Were not alone.

Bb   F      Dm   C
Hey-oh, hey-oh. Were not alone.

Bb   F      Dm   C
Hey-oh, hey-oh. Were not alone.

Bb   F      Dm   C
Hey-oh, hey-oh. Were not alone.

Bb   F      Dm   C
Hey-oh, hey-oh. Were not alone.


The ending to this song doesn't really have a defined chord progression, so I'll 
leave it at that. :) 
Enjoy!
