Verse 1:
    G
God blessed is a
          D
man of conviction
         D/F#
With the evidence
             D
enough to convict him
           C
Should he stand by
the side of the victim?
     Am
And strength enough
to forgive him
G                Em
Hopefully nobody saw him
G                Em
Hopefully nobody saw him
Am
Means by the fire
       Bm
by the ending
     C
Is a sinner or saint
      Cm
for defending?

Verse 2:
    G
The bastard by whom
       D
in his bleeding
     D/F#
Pour salt in the
                D
wounds where he needed
        C
And the blood from
the cut that is sealing
        Am
And you gasp in the air
were you're breathing
G                Em
Hopefully nobody saw him
G                Em
Hopefully nobody saw him
Am
Means by the fire
       Bm
by the ending
     C
Is a sinner or saint
      Cm
for defending?

Em        C   Am
  Our hero is gone
