Born Again (ver 2) by Josh Garrels


"Born Again" by Josh Garrels, from the album "Home", released April 7, 2015

Standard Tuning
Capo 2

(All Chords Relative to Capo)


Intro: 

C-Em-Dm-Am (Brief Strings Intro., played in a Legato Style)

F#|-----------------|
C#|-----------------|
 A|-----------------|
 E|-----------------|
 B|-----0-3---------|
F#|---3-------------|

The overall rhythm of the song is a repetitive 8th note beat (if we're assuming 6/8 time) which can be
implemented on the guitar by picking each chord with either the fingers or a quick, downwards pick stroke 
in a staccato-like fashion.

So, continuing with the intro., the measures would look like this...

Verse 1:

F                                    
I came into the world, into the wild, no place for a child 
C                                         F
Used my voice to howl, with the ghouls of night 
(F)             C                              
In the dying light 

F
Had to learn to get what I need, in the dark, empty 
C                                                F
Instincts are guiding me like a beast to some blood 
(F)                 C
And I can’t get enough

Pre-Chorus:

F
I’m losing control; my body, my soul
G 
Are slowly fading away 
F                                      G
But I’m ready now to feel the power of change 

Chorus:

(G)                F
I’m my mother’s child
                G 
I’m my father’s son
            F
It took me awhile 
                G
But my time has come 
            Am     F     C     G          
To be born again 
(G)         Am     F     C     G          
To be born again 

Am     F     C     G

Am     F     C     G  

Verse 2:
(For the start of verse 2 the chords are held, so just strum each once until the rhythm starts up again)

F
Running scared in between what I hate and what I need 
G                                             F
Savior and enemy are both trying to take my soul 
(F)                     G
And I can’t hide no more 

F
Stumble out to the light, raise my fist up to fight 
G                                  F
Then I catch your eye so full of love 
(F)                 G
Lord, what have I done? 

Pre-Chorus 2:

F
I cry at your feet, wounded for me
G 
And all of the monsters and men
    F                                G
But here in your light we can begin again 

Chorus 2:

(G)             F
I’m my mother’s child 
                G
I’m my father’s son 
             F
It took me a while 
                G
But my time has come 

(G)             F
I’m my mother’s child 
                G
I’m my father’s son 
                F
Lord, took me a while 
                G
But my time has come 
            Am     F     C     G          
To be born again 
(G)         Am     F     C     G          
To be born again 

Am     F     C     G

Am     F     C     G  

Outro:

Am     F     C     G

Am     F     C     G

end on F, strum 3 times
