Dead Man (acoustic)

	  		Dead Man acoustic 
 
 
Standard 

note: When I put Gsus it's pretty much like a G except the 5th string is also 3rd fret  
relative to capo, I don't know what the chord is actually called. This was tabbed from  
the youtube video of Steve playing this song acoustically. 

Intro 
C2 D/F# G x2 

C2    D/F#   G 
I was once a dead man 
C2         D/F#    G 
A stranger with no home 
C2      D/F#       G 
I stood opposed to God himself 
    C2     D/F#     G 
And yet He pardoned me 

Intro x4 

D/F#        G             D/F# 
With all my heart and the fiercest will 
G                  C2         D/F# 
Desired not but to thieve and kill 
           G                     D/F# 
I hadn't a thought of peace, but war 
              G        C2      D/F# 
Surrender was not what I'd endure 

G       C2   G                    D/F# 
Deliver me! Wake me up from this damning sleep 
G            C2   G                     D/F# 
I'm surrendering! Pull me out from this wickedness 
G       C2       G        C2 
In this thieving heart of stone 
G                    C2           G    D/F# 
I realized all these sins I could not atone 

G       Gsus D/F# 
I was a murderer 
G             Gsus    D/F# 
Faced with my list of crimes 

C2    D/F#   G 
I was once a dead man 
C2         D/F#    G 
A stranger with no home 
C2      D/F#       G 
I stood opposed to God himself 
    C2     D/F#     G 
And yet He pardoned me 

G          D/F#           Gsus         D/F# 
So just at the right time when we were dead in our sins 
G             D/F#     Gsus             D/F#  G 
  C2  G 
You took this heart of mine and gave me life again 
            D/F#  G   D/F#  G 
You gave me life again 

D/F#    G          D/F# 
So far apart and a debt to fulfill 
   G          C2        D/F# 
This purchase bought on redemption's hill 
          G                  D/F# 
An ailing disease I couldn't cure 
        G          C2       D/F# 
Oh this grace! How rich and pure! 

G D/F# C D/F# 

G                       D/F# 
The mob they yelled and screamed for justice 
     C2                       D/F# 
That wrath was ours we are to blame 
G 
You made a spectacle of rulers 
                        D/F# 
Denying You of a king's fame 
C2     D/F#        G 
Having crushed the written canon 
D/F#          G       D/F# 
That wrote of all our guilt and shame 
C2        D/F#     G 
Displayed upon the tree it was nailed 
C2         G     D/F# 
The saving power of Your name 


    C2    D/F#   G 
For I was once a dead man 
C2         D/F#    G 
A stranger with no home 
    C2       D/F# 
You saw this wretch 
        G 
And You gave him life 
C2      D/F#        G 
Forever I'll praise You! 
              C2 
I will praise You!
