Blessed To Be A Witness by Ben Harper
Blessed To Be A Witness
Capo on 2nd fret
Verse One
F C
Corcovado parted the sky
G Am
And through the darkness on us he shined
F C
Crucified in stone
G Am
Still his blood is my own
F C
Glory behold all my eyes
G
Have seen, have seen
Chorus
F Am
I am blessed, I am blessed (x2)
G F C
I am blessed to be a witness
This is the riff they do on the tongue bell drums at the end of the chorus (play during
bar in which they play C)

The chords are the same throughout the rest of the song, in the instrumental part just
the verse’s chord progression.
Heres the rest of the lyrics….
Some have flown away
And can't be with us here today
Like the hills of my home
Some have crumbled and now are gone
Gather around for today
Won't come again
Won't come again
I am blessed to be a witness
So much sorrow and pain
But still I will not live in vain
Like a question never asked
Is wisdom wasted on the past
Only by the grace of God
Go I
Go I
I am blessed to be a witness….
