Goliath by Joshua Leventhal
Goliath
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
G C G C
I met Goliath on a day that I did not foresee
G C G C
I'm not a soldier and I never expected to be
Em
But he shouts at my kin
C G
And mocks them as he turns his back
Em C
It's not so much glory as honor
G C
That drives me to act
[Verse 2]
G
The youngest of seven
C G C
No one was ever looking at me
G
Except the Almighty
C G C
Staring right through my chest cavity
Em
The prophet-man said
C G
God looked in my heart and saw a king
Em
But I know my heart well and
C G
I never quite like what I see
[Chorus]
Em
And a crown is the last thing
C G
I ever thought would grace my bow
Em
I didn't want it back then and
C Bm
I'm not sure I want it now
Em
I've got no need to follow
C G
To follow the footsteps of kings
Em C
I just wanna tend pastures and kill giants
G C
With pebbles and slings
[Verse 3]
G
Beauty on rooftops
C G C
Leads swift to the den of the dead
G
The lust of my flesh
C G C
Numbs my heart, numbs my soul, numbs my head
Em
The darkness is dancing
C G
I can feel his ear-to-ear grin
Em
Well, I'm sick and I'm twisted
C G
Against God alone have I sinned
[Chorus]
Em
And a crown is the last thing
C G
I ever thought would grace my bow
Em
I didn't want it back then and
C Bm
I'm not sure I want it now
Em
I've got no need to follow
C G
To follow the footsteps of kings
Em C
I just wanna tend pastures and kill giants
G C
With pebbles and slings
[Instrumental]
Em C G
Em C G
[Verse 4]
G C G C
Well I slew Goliath twenty years ago to the day
G
I can still feel his heartbeat
C G C
Just slowly slipping away
Em
And he was a monster
C G
That much is easy to see
Em
But it takes one to kill one
C G
So what does that make me?
