E     D               C            G   G/F#  E
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of L.A.

E             D         C               G         G/F#       E
The footsteps that were next to me have gone their separate ways

E                   D             C                      G      G/F#      E
I've seen enough now to know that beautiful things don't always stay that way

E                   D             C                     G    G/F#         E
I've done enough now to know this beautiful place isn't everything they say
[Pre-Chorus]
G            A
I heard that evil comes disguised

G                       A
Like the City of Angels walking towards the light
[Chorus]
Em               C                G                       A
Baptized in the river I've seen a vision of my life and I wanna be delivered

Em                 C                G                         A            
In the city was a sinner I've done a lot of things wrong But I swear I'm a believer

Em                 C                 G                       A
Like the prodigal son I was out on my own Now I'm trying to find my way back home

Em               C            G              A
Baptized in the river, I'm delivered, I'm delivered
[Verse 2]
E                        D             C             G    G/F#        E
You're from a small town, you're gonna grow up fast, underneath these lights

E                 D       C             G           G/F#       E
Down in Hollywood on the Boulevard, the death comes back to life

E              D               C              G       G/F#     E
To the praying mother and the worried father Let your children go

E            D            C                      G       G/F#         E
If they come back, they'll come on stronger And if they don't, you'll know
[Pre-Chorus]
G        A
They say evil comes disguised

G                   A
The City of Angels walking towards the light
[Chorus]
Em               C                G                       A
Baptized in the river I've seen a vision of my life and I wanna be delivered

Em                 C                G                         A            
In the city was a sinner I've done a lot of things wrong But I swear I'm a believer

Em                 C                 G                       A
Like the prodigal son I was out on my own Now I'm trying to find my way back home

Em               C            G              A
Baptized in the river, I'm delivered, I'm delivered

Em               C           G  A
Baptized in the river (On my own)

Em               C            G     A
Baptized in the river (On my own) I wanna be delivered
[Coda]
Em C         G A
...... On my own   (3x)

Em               C            G     A
Baptized in the river (On my own) I wanna be delivered   (3x)

Em               C                   G                      A
I confess I'm a sinner I've seen a vision of my life and I wanna be delivered
The chords in the verses all are played barré, those of the chorus open. The G is played like an A on the 10th (10 10 12 12 10 10). The G/F# is a G with an f# as bass note (- 9 12 12 10 10 If you can, lift your barré-finger on every E at the end of the lines of the verses (i think if you listen to the song, you'll know what i mean ;)
