Guitar: Play in E and Capo 2nd fret for key of F#
[Chorus 1]
N.C.
When the God-man passes by
N.C.
The blind will see and the dead will rise
N.C.
Redeemed will dance and broken wings take flight
When the GC#mod-man pasAses byE  
[Verse 1]
    C#mI was a hollow man
My treAachery despised and rightly soE  
And C#meven though my chains were gone
I'm sAtill a slave and reaping what I've sEown
C#mCall it desperation, I just hAad to see His face
So like a cEhild, I climbed a sycamore Btree
When the AGod-man calBled my naC#mme
I knew I'd Bnever be the saEme
[Chorus 2]
'Cause when the AGod-man pGasses bEy
The bAlind will see and the Ddead will rAise
Redeemed will dance and BbrokeAn wiGngs taGke fligEht
When the C#mGod-man paAsses byE  
[Verse 2]
I was a rC#munaway, a Agypsy chasing shadows in the Enight
A prC#misoner of secrets till relAigion dragged my shame into the lEight
All my daC#mrkness was revealed, just when I tAhought my fate was sealed
My accEusers dropped their stones and walked aBway
'Cause when the AGod-man cleBansed my C#mname
I knew I'd Bnever be the samEe
[Chorus 3]
'Cause when the AGod-man pGasses bEy
