New single from Crowder, presented in the original key of B. It's probably more effective to play with a capo (especially on acoustic). Chord changes in intro, outro, and transitions are fast. Listen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SfWKuP88EE.Was this info helpful?

[Intro]
G#m F#/A# B    E
G#m F#/A# B    E
 
[Verse 1]
G#m            E2    B
There I was on death row
F#                  E2
Guilty in the first degree
G#m                E2   B
Son of God hanging on a hill
F#               G#m
Hell was my destiny
 
 
[Verse 2]
G#m                    E2   B
The crowd was shouting crucify
F#                               E2
Could've come from these lips of mine
    G#m             E2      B
The dirty shame was killing me
                F#                 E2
It would take a miracle to wash me clean
 
 
[Chorus 1]
       B        E   B
Then I read the red letters
        F#              B
And the ground began to shake
    F#     G#m           E
The prison walls started falling
               F#            G#m F#/A# B    E
And I became a free man that day
 
[Verse 3]
G#m                 E2     B
Felt like lightning hit my veins
   F#                  E2
My dead heart began to beat
G#m           E2        B
Breath of God filled my lungs
        F#                  E2
And the Holy Ghost awakened me
          F#                  E2
Yeah, the Holy Ghost awakened me
 
[Chorus 2]
       B        E   B
When I read the red letters
        F#              B
And the ground began to shake
    F#     G#m           E
The prison walls started falling
               F#            B
And I became a free man that day
 
[Bridge]
    G#m              F#
For God so loved the whole wide world
         B           E2
Sent His only Son to die for me
G#m                      F#
Arms spread wide for the whole wide world
    B                      E2
His arms spread wide where mine should be
B                F#    B
Jesus changed my destiny
 
[Chorus 3]
           B        E   B
Thank You, God, for red letters
         F#              B
When the ground began to shake
    F#       G#m         E
The grace of God started falling
               F#            G#m
And I became a free man that day
           G#m   F#      E
The prison walls started falling
           F#          G#m F#/A# B    E
And I am a free man today
