Dead Man acoustic
Capo 4
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
I was [D/F#]once a
dead man
A stranger [D/F#]with no
home
I stood [D/F#]opposed to
God himself
And
yet He [D/F#]pardoned
me
Intro x4
[D/F#]With all my
heart and the [D/F#]fiercest will
Desired not but to
thieve and [D/F#]kill
I hadn’t a
thought of peace, but [D/F#]war
Surrender was
not what
I’d endu[D/F#]re
Deliver
me! W
ake me up from this d[D/F#]amning sleep
I’m surrender
ing!
Pull me out from this [D/F#]wickedness
In this
thieving
heart of
stone
I realized all these
sins I could
not a[D/F#]tone
I was a
murde[D/F#]rer
Faced with my
list of [D/F#]crimes
I was [D/F#]once a
dead man
A stranger [D/F#]with no
home
I stood [D/F#]opposed to
God himself
And
yet He [D/F#]pardoned
me
So just at [D/F#]the right time
when we were [D/F#]dead in our sins
[D/F#]
[D/F#]
Yo
u to
ok this heart of mine and gave me life again
You gave me [D/F#]life a
gain[D/F#]
[D/F#]So far a
part and a [D/F#]debt to fulfill
Thi
s purchase
bought on [D/F#]redemption’s hill
An ailing
disease I couldn’t [D/F#]cure
Oh this
grace! How
rich and [D/F#]pure!
[D/F#]
[D/F#]
The mob they yelled and [D/F#]screamed for justice
That
wrath was ours we are to [D/F#]blame
You made a spectacle of rulers
Denying You of a king’s [D/F#]fame
Having [D/F#]crushed the
written canon
[D/F#]That wrote of
all our [D/F#]guilt and shame
Displayed [D/F#]upon the
tree it was nailed
The saving
power [D/F#]of Your name
For
I was [D/F#]once a
dead man
A stranger [D/F#]with no
home
You
saw this [D/F#]wretch
And You
gave him life
Forever [D/F#]I’ll praise
You!
I will praise
You!
