I used this version because it was the best I could find. Hope you enjoy it and play along.
The song may be played with no capo using G#m, C#m and D#7, but I recommend a capo on the
4th fret to make it easier for you.
With capo on 4th fret - Em -> fingerpick - 6, 4, 2, 3, 4
                        Am B7 -> fingerpick - 5, 4, 2, 3, 4
[Intro]

[Verse]
EmI walk through the valley of Amthe shadow of death
And EmI fear no evil because I'm bB7lind to it all
And my mEmind and my gun they comfort Amme
Because I Emknow I'll kill my enB7emies when they cEmome
EmSurely goodness and mercy will follow me all the dAmays of my life
and I will dEmwell on this earth forevB7ermore.
Said I wEmalk beside the still waters and they reAmstore my soul.
But I can't wEmalk on the path of the rB7ight because I am wEmrong
Well, I cEmame upon a man at the top of the hAmill
Emcalled himself the savior of the human rB7ace
said he cEmome to save the world from destrAmuction and pain
but I said, "Emhow can you save the wB7orld from itEmself?"
[Instrumental]

'Cause I wEmalk through the valley of Amthe shadow of death
and I fEmear no evil 'cause I'm bB7lind.
Oh, and I wEmalk beside the still waters and they resAmtore my soul,
but I kEmnow when I dB7ie my soul is daEmmned.

Em Am

I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

Em B7

And I fear no evil because I'm blind to it all

Em Am

And my mind and my gun they comfort me

Em B7 Em

Because I know I'll kill my enemies when they come

Em Am

Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life

Em B7

and I will dwell on this earth forevermore.

Em Am

Said I walk beside the still waters and they restore my soul.

Em B7 Em

But I can't walk on the path of the right because I am wrong

Em Am

Well, I came upon a man at the top of the hill

Em B7

called himself the savior of the human race

Em Am

said he come to save the world from destruction and pain

Em B7 Em

but I said, "how can you save the world from itself?"
