From "Over the Grave"
Band offical website: http://www.sojournmusic.com/albums/


Intro and verse
G - Gsus

Verse 1
I am ashamed conceived in sin I?ve always been.
Born in a world where Adam?s fall corrupts us
Rooted is the seed of death in life?s first breath
The law demands a perfect heart but I?m defiled in every part


Chorus
    Em                 D/F#               C
For only Your blood is enough to cover my sin
     D                                 G
For only Your blood is enough to cover me.


Verse 2
All this guilt disturbs my peace I find no release.
Who will save me from my crime I?m helpless
Behold I fall before Your face in need of grace
So speak to me in a gentle voice for in Your mercies I rejoice

Chorus

Bridge:
C        D           Bm            Em       D       C
Lord create my heart anew ( Father come and make us wise )
C     D              Bm               Em       D      C
Only You are pure and true ( Lead us away from our demise ) 
C        D           Bm                 Em       D       Am
Lord You are the remedy ( For only your blood can set us free )
                               C                   D                G
For only Your blood can set us free. For only Your blood can set us free


Musical interlude: 
Am ? Em ? D x2 
Am G/B ? C ? D - G


Verse 3 x2
No bleeding bird, no bleeding beast, no hyssop branch, no priest
No running brook, no flood, no sea, can wash away this stain from me.


Outro Chorus
    Em                 D/F#               C
For only your blood is enough to cover my sin
    D                                 Am7
For only your blood is enough to cover me.



I play the main riff with some chorus, delay, and just play it with 
standard open G chord, hammering on the sus4 on the B string 1st fret. You 
can play it in bar chord formation hammering the sus4 on the G string 5th 
fret too. Whatever works best for you...


Since gtr 2 in the verse is a little more subtle and harder to pick out,
here's the tab (play this under the G - Gsus4 starting on verse 2)
e|--3----3--5-(7)-----3------------------------------------------------|
B|----3-----------------3----------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------2s4-----------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
(This is played on xylephone too)


Interlude Tab
This part twice
