[F#] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] Well take an eye for an eye, [Bm] _ _ a tooth for a tooth, _ just like [D] they say [F#] in the bible.
_ _ _ _ [A#] _ [Bm] Well never leave a trace, _ _ _ or forget a face, of any [D] man at the [F#] table. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [Bm] When _ [G] the moon _ [E] is a cold chiseled [Bm] dagger, _ _ _ _ and [E] it's sharp enough _ _ to draw [Bm] blood from a stone. _ _
[Em] You _ rise [E] through your dreams on a coach [Bm] and horses, _ _ _ and [Em] the fence posts in the moonlight _ look [F#] like bones. _ _ _
[Bm] Well they stopped trying to hold him with mortar, stone and chain.
[D] He broke out of every [F#] prison.
_ _ _ _ [Bm] Well the boots mount the _ staircase, _ the doors flung back open.
_ He's [D] not there for he [F#] has risen. _ _
_ _ He's not there for [Bm] he has risen.
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [E]
Some say he once killed a man with a guitar [Bm] string. _ _ _ _
[E] He's been seen at the table _ [Bm]
with _ kings. _ _ _
[A] Well [Em] he once saved a baby _ from drowning.
_ _ [Bm] _ _
There are [Em] those that say beneath [Bm] his coat there are [F#] wings. _ _ _ _
[Bm] Well some say they fear him.

_ [Bm] _ Some say they fear him.
_ _ Others admire him _ _ [F#m] because he steals [F#] his promise.
_ _ [A#] _ [B] One look in [Bm] his eye _ _ and everyone _ _ denies _ [D] ever having [F#] met him. _ _ _
_ _ _ Ever [A#] have [Bm] met him?
_ _ _ He [Em] can turn himself into _ [Bm] a stranger.
_ _ _ [Em] Well there broke a lot of kings _ on his [Bm] hide.
_ _ _ _ He [E] was born a wee _ in a [Bm] _ cornfield.
_ _ _ A [Em] fever beats in his head _ just like [F#] a drum _ [A#] inside. _
[G] _ Some say they fear him. _
[Bm] _ _ Others admire him [D] _ because he [F#] steals his promise.
_ _ _ [Bm] One look in his eye _ _ and everyone _ _ denies
_ ever [A#] _
[Bm] having met him.
_ Ever [A] _
_ [B] having met him?
