Capo: 4 Tuning: E A D G B E

Standard Tuning CAPO on the 4th Fret Personal Note: Each time playing the Cadd9 during intro, in between Chorus 1 and Verse 2, or at the end of the song, I like to hammer on the D string after the first strum. [Intro] Em D G Cadd9 Em D G Cadd9 [Verse 1]

^EmThere I was on ^Cadd9death r^Gow ^DGuilty in the first ^Cadd9degree. ^EmSon of God hanging^Cadd9 on a h^Gill, ^DHell was my dest^Cadd9iny. The^Em crowd was shouting ^Cadd9crucify^G, ^DCould’ve come from these lips of^Cadd9 mine. The^Em dirty shame was ^Cadd9killing ^Gme, It would take a ^Dmiracle to wash me^Cadd9 clean.

[Chorus 1]

Then I ^Gread the ^Cadd9red ^Gletters And the ^Dground began to ^Gshake. The prison ^Em7walls started ^Cadd9falling And I became a ^Dfree man that da^Emy. ^D ^G ^Cadd9

[Verse 2]

^EmFelt like lightning ^Cadd9hit my ^Gveins. My ^Ddead heart began to ^Cadd9beat. ^EmBreath of God fi^Cadd9lled my ^Glungs And the ^DHoly Ghost awakene^Cadd9d me. Yeah, the ^DHoly Ghost awakene^Cadd9d me

[Chorus 2]

When I ^Gread the ^Cadd9red ^Gletters And the ^Dground began to ^Gshake. The prison ^Em7walls started ^Cadd9falling And I became a ^Dfree man that da^Gy.

[Bridge]

For ^EmGod so loved the ^Dwhole wide world Sent his ^Gonly Son to ^Cadd9die for me. ^EmArms spread wide for the ^Dwhole wide world, His ^Garms spread wide where ^Cadd9mine should be. ^GJesus changed my ^Ddest^Giny.

[Chorus 3]

Thank you, ^GGod, for ^Cadd9red ^Gletters When the ^Dground began to ^Gshake. The grace of^Em7 God started ^Cadd9falling And I became a ^Dfree man that da^Gy. The prison ^Em7walls started ^Cadd9falling And I am a ^Dfree man to^Emday.^D ^G ^Cadd9
