Wake up Dead Man

Am


[Verse 1]
Am           G
Jesus, Jesus help me
    F                  Dm
I'm alone in this world
      C                     G
And a fucked-up world it is too

Am                   G
Tell me, tell me the story
              F        Dm
The one about eternity
        C                  G
And the way it's all gonna be


[Chorus]
Am               G        D
Wake up, wake up dead man
Am               G        D
Wake up, wake up dead man


[Verse 2]
Am                 G
Jesus, I'm waiting here, boss
                      F          Dm
I know you're looking out for us
    C                       G
But maybe your hands aren't free

     Am                           G
Your Father, He made the world in seven
                  F      Dm
He's in charge of heaven
         C                 G
Will you put a word in for me?


[Chorus]
Am               G        D
Wake up, wake up dead man
Am               G        D
Wake up, wake up dead man


[Verse 3]
Am
Listen to the words they'll tell you what to do
G
Listen over the rhythm that's confusing you
F                         Dm
Listen to the reed in the saxophone
C                          G
Listen over the hum of the radio
Am
Listen over the sound of blades in rotation
G
Listen through the traffic and circulation
F                  Dm
Listen as hope and peace try to rhyme
C                          G
Listen over marching bands playing out their time


[Chorus]
Am               G        D
Wake up, wake up dead man
Am               G        D
Wake up, wake up dead man


[Verse 4]
Am                              G
Jesus, were you just around the corner?
                         F         Dm
Did you think to try and warn her?
         C                    G
Were you working on something new?
               Am                  G
If there's an order in all of this disorder
                  F         Dm
Is it like a tape recorder?
       C                   G
Can we rewind it just once more?


[Chorus]
Am               G        D
Wake up, wake up dead man
Am               G        D
Wake up, wake up dead man
Am               G        D
Wake up, wake up dead man


[Outro]
Am  G  D  x4
