#Tips for playing at the end of the tab!!
[Verse 1]
EDCGG/F#E As I walk through the valley of the shadow of L.A. EDCGG/F#E The footsteps that were next to me have gone their separate ways EDCGG/F#E I've seen enough now to know that beautiful things don't always stay that way EDCGG/F#E I've done enough now to know this beautiful place isn't everything they say
[Pre-Chorus]
GA I heard that evil comes disguised GA Like the City of Angels walking towards the light
[Chorus]
EmCGA Baptized in the river I've seen a vision of my life and I wanna be delivered EmCGA In the city was a sinner I've done a lot of things wrong But I swear I'm a believer EmCGA Like the prodigal son I was out on my own Now I'm trying to find my way back home EmCGA Baptized in the river, I'm delivered, I'm delivered
[Verse 2]
EDCGG/F#E You're from a small town, you're gonna grow up fast, underneath these lights EDCGG/F#E Down in Hollywood on the Boulevard, the death comes back to life EDCGG/F#E To the praying mother and the worried father Let your children go EDCGG/F#E If they come back, they'll come on stronger And if they don't, you'll know
[Pre-Chorus]
GA They say evil comes disguised GA The City of Angels walking towards the light
[Chorus]
EmCGA Baptized in the river I've seen a vision of my life and I wanna be delivered EmCGA In the city was a sinner I've done a lot of things wrong But I swear I'm a believer EmCGA Like the prodigal son I was out on my own Now I'm trying to find my way back home EmCGA Baptized in the river, I'm delivered, I'm delivered
EmCGA Baptized in the river (On my own) EmCGA Baptized in the river (On my own) I wanna be delivered
[Coda]
EmCGA ...... On my own (3x) EmCGA Baptized in the river (On my own) I wanna be delivered (3x) EmCGA 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 ;)
