Tracy Chapman – Unsung Psalm (Guitar)

D                 C   G/B        D
There would be psalms sung by a choir

                       C    G/B          D
I would have a white robe a halo newly acquired

           C             G/B        D
I'd be at peace and I'd have no desire

              Em   Em(add9)  Em
If I'd lived right

                 C               G/B               D
There would be cherubs with tiny harps arrows and bows

             C        G/B            D
I'd have a halo and a flowing white robe

           C         G/B         D
I'd be enfolded by a celestial light

              Em   Em(add9)  Em
If I'd lived right

                  C      G/B                D
But I'm feeling hot and bothered under the collar

             C            G/B        D
I feel the sweat breaking out on my brow

             C         G/B           D
I feel the heat and I know it's the passion

                     Em   Em(add9)  Em
The love I can't disavow

               C    G/B        D
If this is a dream wake me up now

               C         G/B              D
If this is a movie let's edit these scenes out

               C     G/B          D
It would be a PG instead of an X-rated life

              Em   Em(add9)  Em
If I'd lived right

                       C    G/B       D
Some would call me a cheat call me a liar

                       C            G/B      D
Say that I've been defeated by the basest desired

              C           G/B           D
Yes I have strayed and succumbed to my vices

                     Em   Em(add9)  Em
But I tried to live right

                  C       G/B          D
But I have no regrets no guilt in my heart

              C             G/B             D
I only feel sadness for any pain that I've caused

                    C         G/B      D
I guess I wouldn't bother to worry at all

              Em   Em(add9)  Em
If I'd lived right

                    C            G/B        D
Do you live by the book do you play by the rules?

                       C       G/B           D
Do you care what is thought by others about you?

                C            G/B        D
If this day is all that is promised to you

                     Em         Em(add9)    Em
Do you life for the future the present the past?

                         C      G/B         D
If there is one thing I know I know I will die

            C          G/B         D
If anyone cares some stranger my critique my life

            C          G/B          D
I may be revered or defamed and decried

                     Em   Em(add9)  Em
But I tried to live right

                  C   G/B        D
There would be psalms sung by a choir

                       C    G/B          D
I would have a white robe a halo newly acquired

           C             G/B        D
I'd be at peace and I'd have no desire

              Em   Em(add9)  Em
If I'd lived right
