#Tips for playing at the end of the tab!!
[Verse 1]
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of L.A.
The footsteps that were next to me have gone their separate ways
I ve seen enough now to know that beautiful things don t always stay that way
I ve done enough now to know this beautiful place isn t everything they say
[Pre-Chorus]
I heard that evil comes disguised
Like the City of Angels walking towards the light
[Chorus]
Baptized in the river I ve seen a vision of my life and I wanna be delivered
In the city was a sinner I ve done a lot of things wrong But I swear I m a believer
Like the prodigal son I was out on my own Now I m trying to find my way back home
Baptized in the river, I m delivered, I m delivered
[Verse 2]
You re from a small town, you re gonna grow up fast, underneath these lights
Down in Hollywood on the Boulevard, the death comes back to life
To the praying mother and the worried father Let your children go
If they come back, they ll come on stronger And if they don t, you ll know
[Pre-Chorus]
They say evil comes disguised
The City of Angels walking towards the light
[Chorus]
Baptized in the river I ve seen a vision of my life and I wanna be delivered
In the city was a sinner I ve done a lot of things wrong But I swear I m a believer
Like the prodigal son I was out on my own Now I m trying to find my way back home
Baptized in the river, I m delivered, I m delivered
Baptized in the river (On my own)
Baptized in the river (On my own) I wanna be delivered
[Coda]
...... On my own (3x)
Baptized in the river (On my own) I wanna be delivered (3x)
I confess I m a sinner I ve seen a vision of my life and I wanna be delivered
The chords in the verses all are played barré, those of the chorus open.
The G is played like an A on the 10th (10 10 12 12 10 10).
The G/F# is a G with an f# as bass note (- 9 12 12 10 10
If you can, lift your barré-finger on every E at the end of the lines of the
verses (i think if you listen to the song, you ll know what i mean ;)
