(very simple but breathtaking song off The Ballad of Boogie Christ) Joseph Arthur - I used to know how to walk on water (standard tuning) (verse 1)
EmI used to know how to walk on water AmI used to be so unafraid BmI could save the weakest tyrant EmAnd I could knight the proudest slave EmI could give riches to beggars AmAnd give love to the one who hates BmI could tempt a heart so frozen EmAnd I could torture the strength of fate
(verse 2)
EmI used to know how to walk on water AmThe king of kings they knew me well BmI could give sight to blind men EmAnd make a mute man sing in hell EmBut now I watch with awe and wonder AmDoubt has now befallen me BmI ask The Lord to show me mercy EmAnd to give me sympathy
(Chorus)
GForgive me now myD useless thunder AmWhen I was such aG dynamo I am here andD I am humble AmFor I know not which Gway to go
(verse 3)
EmI used to know how to walk on water AmI could give the dead hot life BmI could murder the joy of Satan EmAnd make his mistress be my wife EmI will be the dream of cowards AmAnd they will never resemble me BmI could see them doubt me under EmAs I set each one free EmNow I just sit and wonder what Amillness has befallen me BmThis sick of mine make me surrender to Emthis world of vacancy
(chorus)
GForgive me now myD useless thunder AmWhen I was such aG dynamo I am here and DI am humble AmFor I know not which Gway to go
(verse 4)
EmI used to know how to walk on water AmNow I sink in the dirt BmNo kind of holy laughter EmSeems to reach beyond the hurt EmI used to know how to walk on water AmI used to be at peace with love BmAll it's strength and all it's power EmWould lift me up so high above EmBurning star of holy wonder AmWomen would rush to be with me BmBut now I'm lost inside the thunder of Empain which holds insanity
(chorus)
GForgive me now my Duseless thunder AmWhen I was such a Gdynamo I am here andD I am humble AmFor I know not which Gway to go GForgive me now my Duseless thunder AmWhen I was such a Gdynamo I am here andD I am humble AmFor I know not which Gway to go
(the song fades with the chorus sung in a slightly different way, but with the ffffffffffffsame chords and rhythm, you can jam on that)
