Author/Artist: DC Talk Title: Jesus Freak Album: Jesus Freak Tabbed by: Daniel "Pastor of Muppets" Huber (Lyrics lifted from aXman's tab) #-------------------------------------PLEASE NOTE------------------------------# #This file is the author's own work and represents their interpretation of the # #song. You may only use this file for private study, scholarship, or research. # #------------------------------------------------------------------------------# Notes: This is the acoustic version so if you want the electric version just change them to power chords. The verse riff is how I play it and it is the right notes but DC talk doesn't play it like that. Effects I use: -I use a Digitech GNX1 -Acoustic for intro -Warm clean for verse -Metallica distortion for everything else (DC Talk just uses clean and distortion) [Intro] F Ab Eb C What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus freak F Ab Eb C What will people do when they find that it's true? [Main riff] F Ab Eb D C (x4) [Verse] F C# Bb Separated, I cut myself clean, F C# Bb From a past that comes back in my darkest of dreams F C# Bb Been apprehended by a spiritual force F C# Bb And a grace that replaced all the me I've divorced E-------------------------| B-------------------------| G-------------6-----3---3-| (4x) D-------3---6-----3---3---| A-----3---4-----1---------| E---1---------------------| [Rap] F(8) C# F(8)= higher I saw a man with tattoo on his big fat belly Bb Eb C# It wiggled around like marmalade jelly F(8) C# It took me a while to catch what it said Bb Eb Cause I had to match the rhythm of his belly with my head F(8) C# A # Eb C# 'Jesus Saves' is what it raved in a typical tattoo green F(8) C# He stood on a box in the middle of the city Bb Eb And claimed he had a dream [Chorus] F Ab Eb D C What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus freak F Ab Eb Bb C What will people do when they find that it's true? F Ab Eb D C I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak F Ab Eb D C Cause there ain't no disguising the truth F(let ring) There ain't no disguising the truth Though I ain't into hiding the truth [Verse] Kamikaze my death is gain I've been marked by my maker A peculiar display The high and lofty they see me as weak Cause I won't live and die for the power they seek [Rap] There was a man from the desert with naps in his head The sand that he walked was also his bed The words that he spoke made the people assume There wasn't too much left in the upper room With skins on his back and hair on his face They thought he was strange by the locusts he ate The Pharisee's tripped when they heard him speak Until the king took the head of this Jesus freak [Repeat chorus] F Ab Eb D C I don't mean to hide it [Bridge] (Use natural harmonics) People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger That my best friend was born in a manger People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger That my best friend was born in a manger [Guitar solo] E-----------------11----------17----------| B--------------------10-10-10----16-16-16-| G---7-7-7-x-5-5-5-------------------------| (4x) D---7-7-7-x-6-6-6-------------------------| A-----------------------------------------| E-----------------------------------------| [Repeat chorus twice] Outro chorus riff (guitar 1) E---13-13-13-13--15-15-15-15--16-16-16-16--18-18-18-18-| B--15-15-15-15--17-17-17-17--18-18-18-18--20-20-20-20--| G------------------------------------------------------| D------------------------------------------------------| (2x) A------------------------------------------------------| E------------------------------------------------------| [Outro chorus] (Play chorus riff twice over this (guitar 2)) What will people think What will people think What will people do What will people do I don't really care What else can I say There ain't no disguising the truth Jesus is the way
