Verse 1:
C             A
David, son of Jesse
         F                D
Shepherd to   his fathers sheep
           C                  A
Played the harp when Saul got weary
A7      F       G                C
Rocked the giant till he was fast asleep

C                              A7
People prayed when Saul killed thousands
           F                        D
When David killed ten thousand they cheered
             C              A7  A
And all that noise they saw angry
        F            G               C
And the shepherd was on the lamb for years

Chorus:
F           G           C
David was a man down in Israel
Asus4                                 D  G
Fighter, lover, shepherd, king, outlaw
    F                  G                C        A7
And through it all God loved him and forgave him
D         G                 C   A7   D   G  C
David the man who'd done it all

Verse 2:
C                 A7  A
Bathsheba wife of  Uri -ah
       F                           D
Took a bath under David's watchful eye
           C                A7  A
He fell in love and took her bo - dy
        F     G            C
Then he sent Uriah out to die

   C                     A
He was weak like you and I are
         F                   D
And as a sinner David did his part
    C                 A7    A
But God said this man Dav - id
   F     G             C
Is a man after my own heart

Chorus:
F         G              C
David was a man down in Israel
A7                                  D    G
Fighter, lover, shepherd, king, outlaw
    F                  G                C        A7
And through it all God loved him and forgave him
D         G                 C    A7
David the man who'd done it all
   D     G                    C     A7
Ah David the man who'd done it all
