-first letter-A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #

	G	C	G
	I studied at the	feet of a	master,

	C	G	A	D
	Gamaliel we	called him, the	beauty of the	law,

	C	G
	I was born of the Tribe of Benjamin, I	was a Pharisee,

	C	G	D	G
	and I could quote from	memory the	Holy	Torah.

verse 2

	G	C	G
	That day that the	Nazarene was brought to	trial,

	C	G	A	D
	it was on a	Sabbath eve ,there was a	earthquake when He	died,

	C	G
	just another passing preacher who came	up from Galilee,

	C	G	D	G
	blaspheming trouble-	maker, we let	Him be	crucified.

verse 3 (verse chord pattern in G)

Then I thought that I would hear no more about him,

but his friends found his tomb empty, claimed that he rose from the dead,

then they said he walked among them with the nail wounds in his hands,

that King upon a donkey with a thorn crown on his head.

(NOTE: UP ONE KEY. Emphasize somehow the change G->A.

If you have an instrument to perform the change at your place, i.e. a horn (as on the record), you might slap a capo on second fret and keep playing the G pattern, I think it's more comfortable)

verse 4

	A	D	A
	His followers kept	growing in great	number,

	D	A	B	E
	and the one that they call	Caiaphas mocked	us in the judgement	hall,

	D	A
	and with the Greek name Stephen we knew the	gentiles had come in,

	D	A	E	A
	I cast my vote against	him, he was	stoned I saw him	fall.

verse 5 (verse chord pattern in A)

Then the friends of the Nazarene became united,

and I became enraged then led a slaughter zealously,

I found their secret places, they were beaten, they were chained,

but some of them were scattered, justified in fearing me.

CHORUS

	A	D
	Then the Man in White, appeared to	me,

	D	A
	in such a blinding light it struck me	down,

	D	A
	with it's brilliance, took away my sight, then the Man in	White,

	D	E	A
in	gentle loving	tone spoke to	me,

	D	A	E	A
and	I was blinded	so that I might	see, the Man in	White

verse 6 (verse chord pattern in A)

But like the wind that blows the scattered sea,

from Alexandria to Antioch their congregation grew,

I went to the high priest for letters of permission,

to go to other cities, to see my mission through.

verse 7 (verse chord pattern in A)

Six days on the hot road to the masters,

and just outside the city in the middle of the day,

a great unearthly light struck and overpowered me,

prostrate on the hot road, I was blinded were I laid.

verse 8 (verse chord pattern in A) SPOKEN with intonation

Then I thought I heard the rushing of great water,

and a multitude of angels singing sweet and heavenly,

and through the sound of wind, came a voice so soft and kind,

meant for only me to hear, "Saul, why do you persecute me?"

verse 9 (verse chord pattern in A) SPOKEN with intonation

As I lay there on the ground, in my blindness,

he asked me once again, and suddenly the voice I knew,

so finally I managed, a trembling response,

who are you Lord?, I asked him, but I already knew.

(NOTE: UP ONE KEY AND A HALF. Emphasize somehow the change A->C.

This time I'm not sure it's worth using a capo on fifth fret and keeping playing in G, if you sing alone it will get poor of bass notes... Then you might play in C or in A with a capo on third fret. It's up to you.)

verse 10 (verse chord pattern in C)

	C	F	C
	I am Jesus of	Nazareth the voice	answered,

	F	C	D	G
	arise go to	Damascus on the	street called	Straight will be,

	F	C
	a place where you will wait for my	servant Ananais,

	F	C	G	C
	he will open up your	eyes, you'll be a	witness unto	me.

verse 11 (verse chord pattern in C)

So now I live to serve my master,

as zealous in his service as I once was as his foe,

and keeping his commandments given on Damascus road,

I go to all the world, and I let the whole world know,

CHORUS

	C	F
	Then the Man in White, appeared to	me,

	F	C
	in such a blinding light it struck me	down,

	F	C
	with it's brilliance, took away my sight, then the Man in	White,

	F	G	C
in	gentle loving	tone spoke to	me,

	F	C	G	C
and	I was blinded	so that I might	see, the Man in	White.

	F	C	G	C
and	I was blinded	so that I might	see, the Man in	White.

	G	C
	the Man in	White...

END the way you like the best.
