Halleluiah Man by James Grant
Halleluiah Man
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Verse 1]
Em7
On the blind side and down the back ways
D
The roots of sadness crawl
Am
When you can't get what you need
Cm7 Bm7
You feel like taking a torch to it all
Em7
All the sweet talk makes a bitter man
D
You can feel the darkness rise
Am
Sometimes you don't know what you're fighting for
Cm7 Bm7
You don't know who it is you despise
[Chorus]
Em7
I am the Halleluiah Man
Bm
Break all the rules I'm the King of fools
Am
I'm the renegade in this grey town
Cm7 Bm7
And I'll do anything to bring a government down
Em7
I am the Halleluiah Man
Bm
Yes my friends I've been born again
Am
I'm the black sheep who while shepherds sleep
Cm7 Bm7
Will do anything to bring a government down
[Verse 2]
Em7
In a coat of a thousand colours
D
and a star-spangled Cadillac
Am
He picked up a rodeo queen
Cm7 Bm7
with whiplash marks all over his back
Em7
When dreams don't become their people
D
People become their dreams
Am
He didn't understand at the time
Cm7 Bm7
But now he knows exactly what it means
[Chorus]
Em7
I am the Halleluiah Man
Bm
Break all the rules I'm the King of fools
Am
I'm the renegade in this grey town
Cm7 Bm7
And I'll do anything to bring a government down
Em7
I am the Halleluiah Man
Bm
Yes my friends I've been born again
Am
I'm the black sheep who while shepherds sleep
Cm7 Bm7
Will do anything to bring a government down
[Bridge]
Am
They said watch out boy be careful where you tread
Bm7
You're throwing away all that beautiful bread
Am
He slept outside until the world opened up
Cm7 Bm7
They've got to understand he's a Halleluiah Man
Em7
He says I am the Halleluiah Man
Em7
I am the Halleluiah Man
Em7
I am the Halleluiah Man
Cm7 Bm7
And I'll do anything to bring a government down
Em7 D Cm7 Bm7
Em7 D Am Cm7 Bm7
[Verse 3]
Em7
He built himself a prison
D
He knew he had to escape
Am
Some worlds are held together by steel
Cm7 Bm7
Some worlds are held together by sellotape
Em7
He was drifting through the sharks teeth
D
He always paid his dues
Am
When something told him he had nothing
Cm7 Bm7
That's when he knew he had nothing to lose
[Chorus]
Em7
I am the Halleluiah Man
Bm
Break all the rules I'm the King of fools
Am
I'm the renegade in this grey town
Cm7 Bm7
And I'll do anything to bring a government down
Em7
I am the Halleluiah Man
Bm
Yes my friends I've been born again
Am
I'm the black sheep who while shepherds sleep
Cm7 Bm7
Will do anything to bring a government down
Em7
I am the Halleluiah Man
Bm
I am the Halleluiah Man
Am
I am the Halleluiah Man
Cm7 Bm7
And I'll do anything to bring a government down
Em7
I am the Halleluiah Man
Bm
I am the Halleluiah Man
Am
I am the Halleluiah Man
Cm7 Bm7
And I'll do anything to bring a government down
