[Intro]
F#m E A/C# A/E D x2
 
[Verse 1]
F#m            E     A
There I was on death row
E                     D
Guilty in the first degree
F#m                E    A
Son of God hanging on a hill
E                F#m
Hell was my destiny
 
[Verse 2]
F#m                    E    A
The crowd was shouting crucify
E                                D
Could've come from these lips of mine
    F#m             E       A
The dirty shame was killing me
         E                         D
It would take a miracle to wash me clean
 
[Chorus 1]
       A        D   A
Then I read the red letters
        E               A
And the ground began to shake
           F#m   E       D
The prison walls started falling
               A      E      A E A/C# A/E D/F#
And I became a free man that day
 
[Verse 3]
F#m                 E       A
Felt like lightning hit my veins
   E                   D
My dead heart began to beat
F#m           E         A
Breath of God filled my lungs
        E                   D
And the Holy Ghost awakened me
          E                   D
Yeah, the Holy Ghost awakened me
 
[Chorus 1]
       A        D   A
Then I read the red letters
        E               A
And the ground began to shake
           F#m   E       D
The prison walls started falling
               A       E     A
And I became a free man that day
 
[Bridge]
    F#m              E
For God so loved the whole wide world
         A           D
Sent His only Son to die for me
F#m                      E
Arms spread wide for the whole wide world
    A                      D
His arms spread wide where mine should be
A                E    A
Jesus changed my destiny
 
[Chorus 2]
D          A        D   A
Thank You, God, for red letters
         E               A
When the ground began to shake
             F#m E       D
The grace of God started falling
               A       E     F#m
And I became a free man that day
           F#m   E       D
The prison walls started falling
           A       E   F#m E A/C# A/E D
And I am a free man… today
