[Intro]
F   Am G     C/E    Am  G

[Verse 1]
  C                    F
A thousand generations falling
          C
down in worship
   Am               G
To sing the song of ages
         F
to the Lamb
    C
And all who've gone before us
    F               C
and all who will believe
     Am                G
Will sing the song of ages
         F
to the Lamb
