Derek Webb - Mockingbird
Transcribed by John Huss

Am     C       C/G      F    F2   F  F2  F
I have come to give you life
Am     C        C/G    F    F2   F  F2  F
And to show you how to live it
Am     C       C/G         F    F2   F  F2  F
I have come to make things right
   Am                  C        C/G       F    F2   F  F2  F
To heal their ears and show you how to forgive them

                       Dm
Because I would rather die
F                G    Gsus  G
  I would rather die
               Dm
I would rather die
F                   Bb   F
  Than to take your life


          C7       F                    C7   C/B
How can I kill the ones I'm supposed to love
      Am       D7       G    F  F7
My enemies are men like me
          C7                F                C7   C/B
I will protest the sword if it's not wielded well
      Am       D7      G   Gsus  G
My enemies are men like me


Am       C   C/G  F    F2   F  F2  F
Peace by way of   war
        Am        C      C/G  F    F2   F  F2  F
Is like purity by way of fornication
          Am              C  C/G    F    F2   F  F2  F
It's like telling someone murder is wrong
         Am              C      C/G  F    F2   F  F2  F
And then showing them by way of execution


Dm    Dm/C    G  Gsus  G   (2x)

     E7                                   Am
When justice is bought and sold just like weapons of war
    Dm              Dm/C        Ab                   G   A7
The ones who always pay are the poorest of the poor
