        Bm             Bsus4
Take an eye for an eye

       Bm                Bsus4
Take a tooth for a tooth

      D                   F#     F#7
Just like they say in the Bible

Bm                  Bsus4 Bm               Bsus4
Never leave a trace       or forget a face

       D          F#    F#7        F#         Bm    Bsus4
Of any man at the table,    of any man at the table

         Em                      Bm     Bsus4
When the moon is a cold chiseled dagger

Em                   Bm                 Bsus4
sharp enough to draw blood from a stone

   Em
he rides through your dreams on a coach

    Bm     Bsus4          Em
and horses        and the fence posts

                          F#
in the midnight look like bones

Well they've stopped trying to hold him with mortar, stone and chain He broke out of every prison Boots mount the staircase The door is flung back open He's not there for he has risen He's not there for he has risen Well he once killed a man with a guitar string He's been seen at the table with kings Well he once saved a baby from drowning There are those who say beneath his coat there are wings Some say they fear him Others admire him because he steals his promise One look in his eye everyone denies ever having met him ever having met him He can turn himself into a stranger well they broke a lot of canes on his hide He was born away in a cornfield A fever beats in his head like a drum inside Some say they fear him Others admire him because he steals his promise One look in his eye everyone denies ever having met him ever having met him (repeat till end)
