G                  C                      G          C
I met Goliath on a day that I did not foresee
G                       C                  G       C
I'm not a soldier and I never expected to be
       Em
But he shouts at my kin
    C                          G
And mocks them as he turns his back
     Em                   C
It's not so much glory as honor
                    G      C
That drives me to act


[Verse 2]
    G
The youngest of seven
           C                G       C
No one was ever looking at me
  G
Except the Almighty
        C                           G     C
Staring right through my chest cavity
    Em
The prophet-man said
    C                             G
God looked in my heart and saw a king
      Em
But I know my heart well and
  C                       G
I never quite like what I see


[Chorus]
      Em
And a crown is the last thing
  C                           G
I ever thought would grace my bow
         Em
I didn't want it back then and
    C                  Bm
I'm not sure I want it now
         Em
I've got no need to follow
   C                       G
To follow the footsteps of kings
       Em                           C
I just wanna tend pastures and kill giants
                 G           C
With pebbles and slings


[Verse 3]
G
Beauty on rooftops
      C                       G        C
Leads swift to the den of the dead
    G
The lust of my flesh
         C                              G        C
Numbs my heart, numbs my soul, numbs my head
    Em
The darkness is dancing
      C                   G
I can feel his ear-to-ear grin
      Em
Well, I'm sick and I'm twisted
        C                G
Against God alone have I sinned


[Chorus]
      Em
And a crown is the last thing
  C                           G
I ever thought would grace my bow
         Em
I didn't want it back then and
    C                  Bm
I'm not sure I want it now
         Em
I've got no need to follow
   C                       G
To follow the footsteps of kings
       Em                           C
I just wanna tend pastures and kill giants
                 G           C
With pebbles and slings


[Instrumental]
Em   C    G
Em   C    G


[Verse 4]
     G                     C                G       C
Well I slew Goliath twenty years ago to the day
      G
I can still feel his heartbeat
     C               G       C
Just slowly slipping away
    Em
And he was a monster
C                    G
That much is easy to see
       Em
But it takes one to kill one
   C                   G
So what does that make me?
