Tuning: D Tuning (D G C F A D)
[Verse]
Em D C G D Em
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of L.A.
Em D C G D Em
The footsteps that were next to me have gone their separate ways
Em D C G D Em
I've seen enough now to know that beautiful things don't always stay that way
Em D C G D Em
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]
Em D C G D Em
You're from a small town, you're gonna grow up fast, underneath these lights
Em D C G D Em
Down in Hollywood on the Boulevard, the death comes back to life
Em D C G D Em
To the praying mother and the worried father Let your children go
Em D C G D Em
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
