[E] I was at Nick Lowe's house when he said he had a new song for me that Nick and Carleen had written.
[Bm] It took a long time to get it, but when I finally got it, I realized it was for me, all right.
But the kind of theme of the album is Sin and Redemption, and thank God for redemption, or I wouldn't be here.
Which is the title of the last song I wrote for the album.
[G] [B]
[Bm] From his hands it came [E] down, from his side it came down,
[C#] From his [F#m] feet it came down, [B] and ran to the ground.
Between [Bm] heaven and [E] hell, a teardrop fell,
[F#m] In the deep crimson dew, [B] the tree of life grew.
[D] And the blood gave [A] life to the branches of the tree,
[G] And the blood was the price [A] that set the captives free.
[D] And the numbers that came [A] through the fire and the flood,
[G] Clung to the tree and [B] were redeemed by the blood.
From the tree streamed the light [E] that started the fight,
Round [F#m] the tree grew a vine [B] on whose fruit I could die.
My old friend Lucifer came, fought [E] to keep me in [A] chains,
But I [F#m] saw through the tricks [B] of 666.
[Bm] And [D] the blood gave [A] life to the branches of the tree,
[G] And the blood was the price [A] that set the captives free.
[D] And the numbers that [A] came through the fire and the flood,
[G] Clung to the tree and [B] were redeemed by the blood.
[Bm]
From his hands it came down, [Em] from his side it came down,
[C#] From his feet it [F#m] came down, [Bm] and ran to the ground.
Then a small inner voice [E] said, you do have a choice,
[C#m] The vine engrafted [F#m] me, [B] and I clung to the tree.
[A]
And the blood gave life to the branches of the tree,
[C] And the blood [G] was the price [A] that set the captives free.
