This song is in D Major, but played capo2
In the recording he does a picking patern that's basicaly:
thumb, pointer, then middle and ring at the same time then repeat- kind of waltzy
[Verse]
N.C.
One two three two.
C C/B Am G
It's so easy to cash in these chips on my shoulder,
F F/E F G
So easy to lose this whole tongue like a tiger.
C C/B Am G
It's easy to let all this bitterness smolder,
F F/E F G
Just to hide it away like a cigarette lighter.
F G C
It's easy to curse and to hurt and to hinder.
F G C
It's easy to not have the heart to remember
C C/B Am G F F/E F G
That I am a priest and a prince in the kingdom of God.
[Verse]
C C/B Am G
I've got voices that scream in my head like a siren
F F/E F G
Fears that I feel in the night when I sleep.
C C/B Am G
Stupid choices I made when I laid in the mire,
F F/E F G
Like a kid in the mud on some dirty, blind street.
F G C
I've got sorrow to spare, I've got loneliness too.
F G C
I've got blood on these hands that hold on to the truth,
C C/B Am G F F/E F G
That I am a priest and a prince in the kingdom of God.
[Bridge]
F G C C/B Am G
Well I swore on the bible to not a lie, but I've lied and lied.
F G G7
And I've crossed my heart and I hoped to die, and I've died and died.
[Verse]
C C/B Am G F F/E F G
But if it's true that you gathered my sin in your hand and you cast it as far as the east from the west,
C C/B Am G F F/E F G
If it's true that you put on the flesh of a man, and you walked in my shoes through the shadow of death,
F G C F G C
If it's true that you dwell in the halls of my heart, then I'm not just a fool with a fancy guitar.
C C/B Am G F F/E F G
No, I am a priest and a prince in the kingdom, I am a priest and a prince in the kingdom of God.
[Outro]
C C/B Am G F F/E F G C
