Tuning: D Tuning (D G C F A D)


[Verse]
Em    D               C            G   D     Em
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of L.A.
Em            D         C               G         D          Em
The footsteps that were next to me have gone their separate ways
Em                  D             C                      G      D         Em
I've seen enough now to know that beautiful things don't always stay that way
Em                  D             C                     G    D            Em
I've done enough now to know this beautiful place isn't everything they say


[Pre-Chorus]
G            A
I heard that evil comes disguised
G                       A
Like the City of Angels walking towards the light


[Chorus]
Em               C                G                       A
Baptized in the river I've seen a vision of my life and I wanna be delivered
Em                 C                G                         A            
In the city was a sinner I've done a lot of things wrong But I swear I'm a believer
Em                 C                 G                       A
Like the prodigal son I was out on my own Now I'm trying to find my way back home
  Em               C            G              A
Baptized in the river, I'm delivered, I'm delivered


[Verse]
Em                       D             C             G    D           Em
You're from a small town, you're gonna grow up fast, underneath these lights
Em                D       C             G           D          Em
Down in Hollywood on the Boulevard, the death comes back to life
Em             D               C              G       D        Em
To the praying mother and the worried father Let your children go
Em           D            C                      G       D            Em
If they come back, they'll come on stronger And if they don't, you'll know


[Pre-Chorus]
  G        A
They say evil comes disguised
  G                   A
The City of Angels walking towards the light


[Chorus]
Em               C                G                       A
Baptized in the river I've seen a vision of my life and I wanna be delivered
Em                 C                G                         A            
In the city was a sinner I've done a lot of things wrong But I swear I'm a believer
Em                 C                 G                       A
Like the prodigal son I was out on my own Now I'm trying to find my way back home
Em               C            G              A
Baptized in the river, I'm delivered, I'm delivered


Em               C           G  A
Baptized in the river (On my own)
Em               C            G     A
Baptized in the river (On my own) I wanna be delivered


[Coda]
Em C         G A
...... On my own   (3x)
Em               C            G     A
Baptized in the river (On my own) I wanna be delivered   (3x)
Em               C                   G                      A
I confess I'm a sinner I've seen a vision of my life and I wanna be delivered
