C In the spring, when this thing began,
I was down, a dying man
And as I Fdied and decayed, I pushed her away

C Days turned to dust and my heart ran dry,
A compromise was a tooth for an eye,
I was Funder a spell, how could I tell,
ThAme truth from the lies.

And could this Fwretch really be resAmtored,
I went out Fwest, and the rain it EmpouredG7
And there appeared a Fking,
And he held his Gsword, over G7me.

Washed it aFway, Washed it Caway
I knew I'd Gnever be the same Amagain

lost but I'm Cfound
And unG7til I felt the joy and the Ampain
I used to pray for the Fsun
to turn the night into Cday

And I rise and I Fpray,

Rise and Pray, Rise and FPray,
And I fall and I Cpray, I Rise and G7Pray,
And I fall and I Ampray,
'Cause I was lost but Im fFound, Lost but I'm fCound,
Lost but I'm G7found, I was lost but I'm Amfound,
Lost but I'm Ffound, Lost but I'm fCound,
Lost but I'm G7found, I was lost but I'm Cfound.
Notes:
[*] G#dim played after G7, use the chords:
G7: 353433
G#dim: 456464
I am not 100% sure that's what it is - but it sounds OK - it seems what he plays
watching youtube vids of it.
You can just stick with G7 and it sounds OK too.
[**] He certainly does this live
[***] Let ring, then no chord or repeat the F, C, G
Am sequence (he does that live).
