Dead Man Walking – Erik Nieder
Capo 2
[Verse 1]
G Cadd2 G
Heaven knows I’m a broken man
Cadd2 Dadd4/F# G
These laden bones, oh Lord, can barely stand
G Cadd2 G
The ways of the world, oh, laid my grave
Cadd2 Dadd4/F# G
‘Till the darkest of nights when You called my name
[Chorus]
G Cadd2 G
Your love, Your love, oh, it set me free
Cadd2 Dadd4/F# G
No guilt, no shame got no hold on me
G Cadd2 G
Your love, Your love, well, it opened my eyes
G Dadd4/F# G
I was a dead man walking ‘till Lord gave me life
[Verse 2]
G Cadd2 G
Grace, she comes with a price, I’m told
Cadd2 Dadd4/F# G
Took the light of the world to save my darkened soul
G Cadd2 G
And, in the valley of the shadow of the cross you’ll find
Cadd2 Dadd4/F# G
And, in the brokenness made you come alive
[Chorus]
G Cadd2 G
Your love, Your love, oh, it set me free
Cadd2 Dadd4/F# G
No guilt, no shame got no hold on me
G Cadd2 G
Your love, Your love, well, it opened my eyes
Cadd2 Dadd4/F# G
I was a dead man walking ‘till Lord gave me life
[Coda]
G Cadd2 G
Your love, Your love, Lord, it set me free
Cadd2 Dadd4/F# G
Now, the grave ain’t got no hold on me
G Bm C#m
Your love, Your love, well, it opened my eyes
G Dadd4/F# G
I was a dead man walking ‘till Lord gave me life
