Chords

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.
