Dead Man Wolves at the Gate
Dead Man acoustic
Capo 4
Standard
note: When I put Gsus it's pretty much like a G except the 5th string is also 3rd fret
relative to capo, I don't know what the chord is actually called. This was tabbed from
the youtube video of Steve playing this song acoustically.
Intro
C2 D/F# G x2
[C2]I was [D/F#]once a [G]dead man
[C2]A stranger [D/F#]with no [G]home
[C2]I stood [D/F#]opposed to [G]God himself
And [C2]yet He [D/F#]pardoned [G]me
Intro x4
[D/F#]With all my [G]heart and the [D/F#]fiercest will
[G]Desired not but to [C2]thieve and [D/F#]kill
I hadn't a [G]thought of peace, but [D/F#]war
Surrender was [G]not what [C2]I'd endu[D/F#]re
[G]Deliver [C2]me! W[G]ake me up from this d[D/F#]amning sleep
[G]I'm surrender[C2]ing! [G]Pull me out from this [D/F#]wickedness
[G]In this [C2]thieving [G]heart of [C2]stone
[G]I realized all these [C2]sins I could [G]not a[D/F#]tone
[G]I was a [Gsus]murde[D/F#]rer
[G]Faced with my [Gsus]list of [D/F#]crimes
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/w/wolves_at_the_gate/dead_man_acoustic_crd.html )
[C2]I was [D/F#]once a [G]dead man
[C2]A stranger [D/F#]with no [G]home
[C2]I stood [D/F#]opposed to [G]God himself
And [C2]yet He [D/F#]pardoned [G]me
[G]So just at [D/F#]the right time [Gsus]when we were [D/F#]dead in our sins
[G] [D/F#] [Gsus] [D/F#] [G]
Yo[C2]u to[G]ok this heart of mine and gave me life again
You gave me [D/F#]life a[G]gain[D/F#] [G]
[D/F#]So far a[G]part and a [D/F#]debt to fulfill
Thi[G]s purchase [C2]bought on [D/F#]redemption's hill
An ailing [G]disease I couldn't [D/F#]cure
Oh this [G]grace! How [C2]rich and [D/F#]pure!
[G] [D/F#] [C] [D/F#]
[G]The mob they yelled and [D/F#]screamed for justice
That [C2]wrath was ours we are to [D/F#]blame
[G]You made a spectacle of rulers
Denying You of a king's [D/F#]fame
[C2]Having [D/F#]crushed the [G]written canon
[D/F#]That wrote of [G]all our [D/F#]guilt and shame
[C2]Displayed [D/F#]upon the [G]tree it was nailed
[C2]The saving [G]power [D/F#]of Your name
For [C2]I was [D/F#]once a [G]dead man
[C2]A stranger [D/F#]with no [G]home
You [C2]saw this [D/F#]wretch
And You [G]gave him life
[C2]Forever [D/F#]I'll praise [G]You!
I will praise [C2]You!
