Dc Talk - Jesus freak

DC Talk Matt, musicoholic1@juno.com #----------------------------------PLEASE NOTE---------------------------------# Date: Thu, 4 Dec 1997 16:07:26 +0100 From: Gert Hansen <gerth@usa.net> Subject: TAB: 'Jesus Freak' by 'DC Talk' Jesus Freak (by DC Talk) from the album 'Jesus Freak' Transcribed by Gert Hansen (gerth@usa.net) I didn't like aXman's Tab, because some chords were wrong, and some parts had been left out, so I added and rewrote some stuff. Matt Hoopes' chord file held the words that I've included at the bottom of the file. -Well, this is how I hear the song!!! Tuning of Guitars: - This song is actually played with a tuning of F (that's a half-note up), but since I never retune my guitar I've written the tab for standard tuning.

Kamikaze my death is gain I-ve been marked by my maker A peculiar display The high and lofty they see me as weak Cause- I won-t live and die for the power they seek There was a man from the desert with naps on his head The sand that he walked was also his bed The words he spoke made the people assume There wasn-t too much left in the upper room With skins on his back and hair on his face They thought he was strange by the locusts he ate The Pharisees tripped when they heard him speak Until the king took the head of this Jesus Freak Repeat Chorus: (twice) Bridge: People say I-m strange does it make me a stranger That my best friend was born in a manger Repeat Chorus: (twice) What will people think (What will people think) What will people do (What will people do) I don-t really care ([What's this friend I say]) There's no disguising the truth (Jesus is the way) --------------------------------------------------------------------- >From kyleb@juno.com Sun May 4 10:10:14 1997 Date: Fri, 14 Mar 1997 18:47:58 EST From: kyleb@juno.com To: guitar@olga.net Cc: acoustic@olga.net Subject: Jesus_Freak.tab by D.C._Talk #----------------------------------PLEASE NOTE--------------------------------# #This file is the author's own work and represents their interpretation of the# #song.
