Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verses

Well I can always tell a liar and I always know a thief

Well I know I'm like my family because brother I'm the chief

Well I'm a dangerous crusader 'cause I need to tell the truth

So I'm turnin' over tables in my own living room

But I might nail indictments up on every door in town

'Cause its not right or safe to let your conscience down

So i don't care if

Chorus

Nobody loves me

Nobody loves me

Nobody loves me...but you

'Cause the truth is never sexy

So it's not an easy sell

Well you can dress her like the culture

And she'll shock 'em just as well

And she don't need an apology

For bein' who she is

And she don't need your help makin' enemies

So i don't care if

So I'll do whatever it takes

To fit us into this wedding gown

I'll use words that rattle your nerves

words like 'sin' and 'faith alone' now...

Nobody loves me

Nobody loves me

Nobody loves me...but you

2. She must and shall go free

Mercy speaks by Jesus' blood

Hear and sing, ye sons of God

Justice satisfied indeed

Christ has full atonement made

Jesus' blood speaks loud and sweet

Here all Dei - ty can meet

And without a jarring voice

Welcome Zion to rejoice

Welcome Zion to rejoice

"All her debts were cast on me

And she must and shall go free"

"All her debts were cast on me

And she must and shall go

free"

Peace of conscience, peace with God

We obtain through Jesus' blood

Jesus' blood speaks solid rest

We believe and we are blest

We believe and we are blest

"All her debts were cast on me

And she must and shall go free"

"All her debts were cast on me

And she must and shall go free" (2x)

Should the law against her roar

Jesus' blood still speaks with power

"All her debts were cast on me

And she must and shall go

free"

She must and shall go

Free

"All her debts were cast on me

And she must and shall go free" (3x)

"All her debts were cast on me

And she must and shall go

free"

She must and shall go free

She must and shall go free

She must and shall go free

3. Take To The World

Intro

Verse 1

Go in peace to love and to serve

Let your ears ring long with what you have heard

Pre-chorus

May the bread on your tongue

Leave a trail of crumbs

To lead the hungry back to the place that you are from

Chorus

And take to the world this love, this hope and faith

Take to the world this rare, relentless grace

And like the Three-in-One

Know you must become what you want to save

'Cause that's still the way

? ( instead after first Chorus)

He takes to the world

Verse 2

Go, and go far. Take light deep in the dark

Believe what's true: He uses all, even you

Pre-chorus

Chorus

4. Nothing(Without You)

Not Available

5. Lover

Intro

C (hammers on G string on the 2nd fret, then on the D string on fret 2 and 3)

Like a man comes to an altar

I came into this town

With the world upon my shoulders

F G(hammers D string on 2nd and 3rd frets)

and promises passed down

I went into the water

F G(hammers D string on frets 2 and 3, walks back down into the C)

My father, he was pleased

I built it and I’ll tear it down

So you will be set free

But I found thieves and salesmen

Living in my father's house

I know how they got in here

and I know how to get them out

I’m turning this place over

From floor to balcony

and then just like these doves and sheep

Oh, you will be set free

I’ve always been a lover

Before I drew a breath

Some things I loved easy

and some I’ll loved to death

Because love's a politician

It listens carefully

So of those who come, I can't lose one

So you will be set free

But go on and take my picture

Go on and make me up

I’ll still be your defender

You’ll be my missing son

I’ll send out an army

Just to bring you back to me

Because regardless of your brother's lies

Oh, you will be set free

I am my beloved’s

and my beloved’s mine

So you bring all your history

I’ll bring the bread and wine

and we'll have us a party

Where all drinks are on me

Because as surely as the rising sun

Oh, you will be set free

6. Wedding Dress

Wedding Dress

by Derek Webb

The keys to this song are simple. At the end of every verse riff, the little

fill part is really simple. Just keep your first finger on A1, then hammer

on and off quickly on G2, then D2. I find that little hammers occasionally

on the D string during F’s, and on the G string during the chorus C

transition to Em are nice as well. Season to taste I guess! And I'd say run

your guitar with just a little bit of crunch (via distortion, gain on a tube

amp, whatever)...not much. And light reverb (very light).

If you could love me as a wife

and for my wedding gift, your life

should that be all I’d ever need

or is there more I’m looking for

and should I read between the lines

and look for blessings in disguise

to make me handsome, rich, and wise

is that really what you want

(chorus)

I am a whore I do confess

but I put you on just like a wedding dress

and I run down the aisle

and I run down the aisle

I’m a prodigal with no way home

but I put you on just like a ring of gold

and I run down the aisle to you

so could you love this bastard child

though I don’t trust you to provide

with one hand in a pot of gold

and with the other in your side

I am so easily satisfied

by the call of lovers so less wild

that I would take a little cash

over your very flesh and blood

(chorus)

because money cannot buy

a husband’s jealous eye

when you have knowingly deceived his wife

7. Awake My Soul

Awake My Soul

The image of God invisible

The first born of all life

Before and within, He holds it all in

One name, one faith, one Christ

Cause no one is good enough to save himself

Awake my soul tonight to boast nothing else

I trust no other source or name

Nowhere else can I hide

This grace gives me fear, and this grace draws me near

And all that it asks it provides

Cause no one is good enough to save himself

Awake my soul tonight to boast nothing else

No seam in this garment

All my rags to hide

No less than your love

For Jesus is mine

When I stand on the edges of Jordan

With the saints and the angels beside

When my body is healed, and the glory revealed

Then still I can boast only Christ

Cause no one is good enough to save himself

Awake my soul tonight to boast nothing else

Cause no one is good enough to save himself

Awake my soul tonight to boast nothing else

To boast nothing else

To boast nothing else

8. Saint and Sinner

Intro

The main riff is easy, you start on that A2, slide up to B2, slide back to

A2, then just hammer off and on between the A and the A2 for fill. Listen to

the song and you'll get it quick.

V1:

If you want my glory, you've got to take my sin

If you want my future, you've got to take my skin

If you want my heart, you got to take my blood

If you want my pledge, you've got to take my lust

Chorus

I'm not a half a man;

I'm not a half a man.

God knows I love you now;

but a saint and a sinner is what I am.

V2:

If you want my spirit, you've got take my blues

If you want my mystery, you've got take my clues

If you want my child, you've got take my kin

If you want my money, you've got to take my rent

Chorus

Bridge

And it doesn't get better, once you've seen the light

you wait and find, your fight has just begun

Used to be a damn mess but now I look just fine,

You dressed me up, we drank the finest wine

[play main riff through a few times]

Chorus

Outro

same as intro)

9. Beloved

Capo3

There are lots of little hits/pulls on the B string during the Am, C, & F chords in the intro

and verses- add to taste. During the "solo" Derek plays the same verse progression only

adding a few more fun fills on the B and high E strings on the 3rd & 1st fret- Chorus:

I'm unsure of the 3rd chord in the 2nd line of the chorus, I can't figure if it's a funny G

or a C that has the low E on 2 like the Am/F# before it, or what. I'm open to suggestions.

Intro

[V1]

Beloved, these are dangerous times

Cause you are weightless, like a leaf from the vine

And the wind has, blown you all over town

‘Cause there is nothing, holding you to the ground

And now you, would rather be

A slave again than free

From the law...

Chorus

Beloved, listen to me

Don’t believe all that you see

Don’t you ever let anyone tell you that, there’s anything that you need...

But me

[V2]

Beloved, these are perilous days

When your culture, is so set in it's ways

And it will listen, to salesmen and theives

Preaching other, than the truth you’ve received

'Cause they, are telling lies

For they can not cirucumsize

Your hearts...

Chorus

Solo

[V3]

Beloved, there is nothing more

No more blessings, and there are no more rewards

Than the treasure, of my body and blood

Given freely to all daughters and sons

To all daughters and sons

All my daughters and sons

To all daughters and sons

that travel into my mind

i swear i try and capture them

but i always set them free

11. The Church

Intro

I have come with one purpose

To capture for myself a bride

By my life she is lovely

By my death she’s justified

I have always been her husband

Though many lovers she has known

So with water I will wash her

Oh and by my word alone

So when you hear...

The sound of the water

You will know...

You’re not alone

'Cause I haven’t come for only you

But for my people to pursue

You cannot care for me with no regard for her

If you love me you will love the church

Oh and I have long pursued her

As a harlot and a whore

Oh But she will feast upon me

She will drink and thirst no more

So when you taste...

My flesh and my blood

You will know...

You’re not alone

Repeat chorus

2x

There is none that can replace her

Though there are many who will try

And though some may be her bridesmaids

They can never be my bride

Repeat chorus
