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]
Em Cadd9 G There I was on death row D Cadd9 Guilty in the first degree. Em Cadd9 G Son of God hanging on a hill, D Cadd9 Hell was my destiny. Em Cadd9 G The crowd was shouting crucify, D Cadd9 Could’ve come from these lips of mine. Em Cadd9 G The dirty shame was killing me, D Cadd9 It would take a miracle to wash me clean.
[Chorus 1]
G Cadd9 G Then I read the red letters D G And the ground began to shake. Em7 Cadd9 The prison walls started falling D Em D G Cadd9 And I became a free man that day.
[Verse 2]
Em Cadd9 G Felt like lightning hit my veins. D Cadd9 My dead heart began to beat. Em Cadd9 G Breath of God filled my lungs D Cadd9 And the Holy Ghost awakened me. D Cadd9 Yeah, the Holy Ghost awakened me
[Chorus 2]
G Cadd9 G When I read the red letters D G And the ground began to shake. Em7 Cadd9 The prison walls started falling D G And I became a free man that day.
[Bridge]
Em D For God so loved the whole wide world G Cadd9 Sent his only Son to die for me. Em D Arms spread wide for the whole wide world, G Cadd9 His arms spread wide where mine should be. G D G Jesus changed my destiny.
[Chorus 3]
G Cadd9 G Thank you, God, for red letters D G When the ground began to shake. Em7 Cadd9 The grace of God started falling D G And I became a free man that day. Em7 Cadd9 The prison walls started falling D Em D G Cadd9 G And I am a free man today.
