Chords for Man Of The Tombs live Bob Bennett

_ _ I'm not aware of any other song _ _ that tells this story.
I'd love to be wrong about this.
Maybe there's other [C]
music, but _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ this [A] is a song about the man.
We do not know his name, [G] but our _ [E] handy _ [F] subheadings call him the [Am] Gatorine demoniac.
_ [B] This is the [F#] story of the man of the [C] tombs.
Oh, yeah.
_ [G] And _ _ _ [Em] we _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
desire the [F] same end _ that we _ _ _ _
[F#] would be delivered, healed,
[G] dressed and seated in our right [C] minds _ at the feet of the one
who loves us. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ He [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ lives in a _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ place _ where no one _ _ [G] goes.
_ _ [Em] _ _ [F] He tears at himself. _
_ _ _ _ He lives with a pain [C] that no one knows.
[G] _ _
_ [C] _ _ [F] He counts [C] himself dead among [G] the living.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ [Dm] He knows [Am] no [F] mercy and [C] no _ more giving. _
Deep _ in the night, [G] _ _ cry [Am] out _ loud.
Can [C] you hear him cry [F] out _ _ _ _ loud? _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ Man of the _ _ [C] tombs, _ _ _ possessed by an unseen _ enemy.
_ _ [G] _
_ [C] _ _ [E] _ _ [C]
He breaks every _ chain.
_ The [F] _ _ _
_ mistake's his [C] freedom for being free.
[G] _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _
[C] Shame and _ [G] shamelessness equally there. _ _
_ _ [G] _ [Dm] Like a random [A] _ toss of [F] a coin in [C] the _ _ _ _ air.
_ _ Man of the [Em] tombs, [G] _ stricken, cry [C] out loud. _
Underneath [G] this thing [C] that I've [F] become. _ _
Fading [Am] _ memory [G] of flesh [C] and _ blood.
I [A] curse the womb, [C] I bless the [F] grave. _
I've [Am] lost my heart, I cannot be [F] _ saved.
Like [C] those who [G] fear me, I'm [Am] afraid. _ _
Like those [C] I've hurt, I can't [F] be in _ vain.
Naked [G] _ now before my [Am] sin.
_ _ These [Bm] stones that cut [C] against my [F] skin.
_ _ [C] _ _
[Dm] Some [Am] try to touch me, [F] but no _ one _ [C] can. _ _ _
Man of the _ tombs, I am. _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [C]
Down at the _ _ shoreline, _ _ _ _ _ _
two sets of footprints _ meet.
[G] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ [C] One voice is _ screaming, _ _ _ _ _ other voice begins _ to [G] speak.
_ [C] _ _
_ [F] If [C] only a [Am] moment [G] and only a [C] word.
_ _ _ [G] _
[Dm] The [Am] evil _ departs [C] like a thundering blur. _ _ _ _ _
Man of the [Em] tombs, [G] he hears [D] this cry out [C]
loud.
_ Underneath [Bm] this thing [C] that you've [F]
become.
_ I [Am] see a man of [G] flesh [C] and blood.
_ I give you life [C] beyond the [F] grave.
_ I heal [A] your heart, [G] I come [C] to save.
_ No need [G] to fear, be not [Am] afraid.
_ This man [A] of [C] sorrows knows your _ pain.
I [Em] come to [G] take away [Am] your sin.
_ And bear [G] its [C] marks upon _ my skin.
_ [Dm] When no [Am] one can touch [F] you, _ _
[C] still I _ can.
_ O _ son of _ [E] God, _ [Am] I _ am. _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ [A] _ _ _ [A#] _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ [A] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Dressed now and seated. _ _
_ _ _ _ Clean in spirit and of the _ [G] mind.
_ _ [C] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ The _ tombs _ he _ _ _ begs to follow, [C] but must stay [G] behind.
_ _ [C] _ _ _
[F] The return [C] to his family [G] with stories to _
[C] tell.
_ _ [G] _ _
[Dm] Of [Am] mercy and _ _
[C] madness, of heaven and hell. _ _ _ _ _
Man of the [G] tombs, soon he [E] will cry out [C]
loud.
_ Underneath this [Bm]
thing [C] that I [F] once was.
_ Now I'm [Am] a man of flesh [C] and _ blood.
I [G] have a [C] life beyond the [F] grave.
_ I [Am] found my heart, [G] I can now [C] descend.
_ No need [G] to fear, [Gm] I am not [Am] afraid.
_ This man [G] of _
[C] sorrows took my name.
_ He comes to [G] take away our [Am] sin.
_ And bear [Em] its marks [C] _ upon his skin.
_ _ [Dm] I'm telling [Am] you _ _ [F] this story _ _ _ because.
[C] _ _ _ _ _
Man of the _ _ _ [E] tombs, [F#] I was.
[C] _

[Dm] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ Man of the _ [F#]
tombs, [C] I was. _ _ _
