As nobody has posted a tab for this (incredible) song so far I'm going to give you my
version. I made this by ear but it sounds rather accurate to me...so enjoy ;) Greetings

Intro: Am C
Verse:
[Am]See these ragged shoes, the [C]soles are worn straight [D]through,
well I [Am]proclaimed[C][D]
The [Am]King has sang the blues, if [C]you've got better [D]news,
than make it [Am]play[C][D]
Prechorus:
[F]He layed aside his c[G]rown, all our crimes he carried[F]
Was lifted from the [G]ground with our burdens buried[Am]
(+ 2nd time)
The sha[F]dows all had fl[G]own in the light diminished[F]
He emptied out his l[G]ungs, crying it is finished[Am]
Chorus:
Am G/C [ch]F#/D[/ch] Am
Listen to me, though I speak of sober things
G/C [ch]F#/D[/ch] Am
Listen through me, though we're men of lips unclean
G/C [ch]F#/D[/ch] Am
I speak truly, what you only think you've heard
G/C [ch]F#/D[/ch] Am C
Everything, everything, everything hangs on a word
Play 2nd Verse Prechorus and Chorus like the first
Interlude
[F]A W[G]ord....
Finish with A (major)
version. I made this by ear but it sounds rather accurate to me...so enjoy ;) Greetings
