[E] [F#m]
[E]
They [C#m]
[F#m] [E]
drowned me in the Jordan when they [F#m] tried to wash me clean
They [E]
got the stains out, but now [F#m] it's too damn hard to breathe
They [E]
told me he's a good lord as they tied [F#m] the shackles to my feet
They [E]
drowned me in the Jordan and then they [F#m] walked away from me
[E]
I washed up on the shores alone, in a [F#m]
tied up wedding gown
[E]
Disillusioned and hard hearted, everything [A] I'd known had led me down
And [E]
that is where you found me, you placed some [A] whiskey on your breath
You [E]
put me back on my feet, and taught [A] me how to dance again
And now [Am] we're building our [E] own promised land
On this new [F#m] ground we stand
God bless the work [G#m] of our [E] hands
Can't make good [F#m] on our plans
Cause now I found love, there's no [E] turning back
Oh, [F#m]
[E]
I don't feel [A]
so
[F#m] Gave the best years of my life away
[E]
I tried to build an institution, instead of [A] trying to keep the faith
But [E]
here in the wild, you loved me [A] though I was not [F#m] lovely or deserving
You [E]
kissed the dirt from my lips, and taught them [F#m] to rejoice again
And now [Am] we're building our own [E] promised land
On this new ground [F#m] we stand
God bless the work [G#m] of our hands
Can't make good [F#m] on our plans
Cause now I found love, there's no [E] turning back
