Intro and verse
G - Gsus
Verse 1
I am ashamed conceived in sin I’ve always been.
Born in a world where Adam’s fall corrupts us
Rooted is the seed of death in life’s first breath
The law demands a perfect heart but I’m defiled in every part
Chorus
Em D/F# C
For only Your blood is enough to cover my sin
D G
For only Your blood is enough to cover me.
Verse 2
All this guilt disturbs my peace I find no release.
Who will save me from my crime I’m helpless
Behold I fall before Your face in need of grace
So speak to me in a gentle voice for in Your mercies I rejoice
Chorus
Bridge:
C D Bm Em D C
Lord create my heart anew ( Father come and make us wise )
C D Bm Em D C
Only You are pure and true ( Lead us away from our demise )
C D Bm Em D Am
Lord You are the remedy ( For only your blood can set us free )
C D G
For only Your blood can set us free. For only Your blood can set us free
Musical interlude:
Am – Em – D x2
Am G/B – C – D - G
Verse 3 x2
No bleeding bird, no bleeding beast, no hyssop branch, no priest
No running brook, no flood, no sea, can wash away this stain from me.
Outro Chorus
Em D/F# C
For only your blood is enough to cover my sin
D Am7
For only your blood is enough to cover me.
I play the main riff with some chorus, delay, and just play it with
standard open G chord, hammering on the sus4 on the B string 1st fret. You
can play it in bar chord formation hammering the sus4 on the G string 5th
fret too. Whatever works best for you...
Since gtr 2 in the verse is a little more subtle and harder to pick out,
Here's the tab (play this under the G - Gsus4 starting on verse 2)
| e | 3 3 5 (7) 3 |
| B | 3 3 |
| G | 2s4 |
| D | |
| A | |
| E | |
(This is played on xylephone too)
Interlude Tab
This part twice
| e | 5 7 5 5 10 |
| B | 8 8 8 5 8 8 8 7 10 7 |
| G | 7 |
| D | |
| A | |
| E | |
Then
| e | 5 5 5 7 |
| B | 8 8 8 5 8 8 8 5 8 8 8 7 |
| G | |
| D | |
| A | |
