     Gm                               Bb
Now, in my house there's been a mercy killing
    F             C/G            Gm
The man I used to be's been crucified
        Gm                                      Bb
And the death of this man is the final way of revealing,
       F                 C/G           Gm
In the spiritual way, to live I had to die


    Gm                            Bb
Now if I let that dead man linger in me,
  F                  C/G        Gm
I might get a little idle in my way
       Gm                            Bb
So I'm going down to the celebration river,
      F                  C/G             Gm
Gonna take this dead man down to a water grave


Gm - Bb - F - C/G - Gm       x2

Gm                    Bb
I'm going down to the river
F            C/G    Gm
I'm gonna be buried alive
Gm                Bb
I want to show my Heavenly Father,
    F            C/G            Gm
The man I use to be has finally died


       Gm
When I think of where I'm going
   Bb
In terms of where I've been,
   F                C/G                 Gm
It makes me glad to know, my Lord, that I've been born again       x2


Gm                    Bb
I'm going down to the river
F            C/G    Gm
I'm gonna be buried alive
Gm                Bb
I want to show my Heavenly Father,
    F            C/G            Gm
The man I use to be has finally died       x2
