There's just so many really talented players that are in an environment where they feel comfortable
and my experience has been that that's pretty rare.
[G] You know, when you're asked to go play for television,
you know, to be put in a setting that feels like home, which is why you get the good [C] music.
A
[C]
[Am] [G] [C]
certain man one [D] [C] day did go
[G] down to [C] Jericho
[A] following the seas [C] along the way.
Well, they stripped him and they fled,
leaving him for dead.
[G] Flying on the [C] side of the river,
then the priest [G] came [F] passing [C] by.
He crossed over to the other side.
Then the Levite [G] came and he did just [C] the same.
But when the Samaritan heard his cry,
he just could not pass on by.
He dressed [G] his woes and he carried him in the [C] air of sin.
He reached [G] down, he [C] reached down,
died right there on the ground.
He reached down, [Am] he [G] reached down,
and he took [C] some pain.
He paid the keeper the amount that was due.
If you need more, [G] set a foot for [C] that too.
He reached [A] down, [G] he reached [A] down,
and he [C] took some pain.
[G] [C]
Then the scribes and the Pharisees
brought the anointing for Jesus to see.
Lord, [Am] Jesus' [G] sin and the [A] law says he must [C] be stoned.
There's one of you [G] that's without [C] sin.
He said he wouldn't cast the first stone in.
One by one they [Am] left [G] leaving Jesus [A] and that [C] woman alone.
He reached down, he reached down,
died right there on the ground.
He reached down, he [G] reached [C] down,
and he took some pain.
No accusers are left that I see.
One in need of you, I condemn thee.
He reached [Am] down, he [G] reached down,
[A] and he [C] took some pain.
[D] [C]
[Am] [G] [C]
And the buckle and the story got told.
About the traveler at the end of the last world.
He sat at the gates of the [Am] kingdom [G] and the master.
[A] He says, come [C] on in.
For I was hungry and [G] you gave [C] me names.
I was cold, [G] but you were [C] my faith.
I [G] was a prisoner as [A] you came to save [C] our day.
He reached down, [F] he [C] reached down,
died right there on the ground.
He reached down, he [G] reached down,
[C] and you touched my pain.
When you did it to the least of things,
you said you were doing it unto me.
He reached down, he [G] reached down,
[A] and you touched [C] my pain.
He reached down, he [G] reached down,
[C] and he touched my pain.
He said, reach down, [Am] oh, [G] reach down,
and touch the [C] pain.
