Martyrs And Thieves Chords

The chord voicing is slightly off, especially when you play it with a capo. Here's what the voicing should be without a capo. So when you use a capo, the chord shapes are relative to the capo.Was this info helpful?

[Intro]
Bbsus Bb Bbsus2 Bb Bbsus F
[Verse 1]
Bbsus Bb
There’s a place in the darkness
Bbsus2 Bb
That I used to cling to
Bbsus Bb F5
It presses harsh hope against time
Bbsus Bb
In the absence of martyrs
Bbsus2 Bb
There’s a presence of thieves
Bb Bbsus F5
Who only want to rob you blind
Bbsus Bb Bbsus2 Bb
They steal away any sense of peace
Bbsus Bb Bbsus2
Though I’m a king I’m a king on my knees
Bbsus Bb
And I know they are wrong
Bbsus2 Bb
When they say I am strong
Eb F Bb
As the darkness covers me
[Pre-Chorus]
F Ebsus2 Bb
So turn on the light and reveal all the glory
F Ebsus2
I am not afraid
F Ebsus2 Bb
To bare all my weakness, knowing in meekness
G F Fsus F
I have a kingdom to gain
[Chorus]
Bb F Eb Fsus F
Where there is peace and love in the light (in the light oh)
Bb F Eb
I am not afraid
Fsus F Bb F Eb Fsus F Bb
To let your light shine bright in my life (in my life oh)
F Bb Fsus F Bb
I...
[Verse 2]
Bbsus Bb
There are ghosts from my past
Bbsus2 Bb
Who’ve owned more of my soul
Bbsus Bb F5
Than I thought I had given away
Bbsus Bb
They linger in closets
Bbsus2 Bb
And under my bed
Bbsus2 Bb F5
And in pictures less proudly displayed
Bbsus Bb Bbsus2 Bb
A great fool in my life have I been
Bbsus Bb F5
Have squandered till pallid and thin
Bbsus Bb
Hung my head in shame
F5 Gm
And refused to take blame
Eb F5 Bb
For the darkness I know I’ve let win
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm7 F Ebsus2 Bb
So turn on the light and reveal all the glory
F Ebsus2 Bb
I am not afraid
F Ebsus2 Bb
To bare all my weakness, knowing in meekness
Gm F Fsus F
I have a kingdom to gain
[Chorus]
Bb F Eb Fsus F
Where there is peace and love in the light (in the light oh)
Bb F Ebsus2
I am not afraid
Fsus F Bb F Eb Fsus F Bb
To let your light shine bright in my life (in my life oh)
F Bb Fsus F Bb
I...
[Bridge]
Bbsus Bb
Can you hear me?
Bbsus Bb
Can you hear me?
Bbsus Bb
Can you hear me?
Bbsus Bb
Can you hear me?
Bbsus Bb
Can you hear me?
Bbsus F
Can you hear me?
[Verse 3]
Bbsus Bb
Well, I’ve never been much
Bbsus2 Bb
For the baring of souls
Bbsus Bb F5
In the presence of any man
Bbsus Bb
I’d rather keep to myself
Bbsus2 Bb
All safe and secure
Bbsus Bb F
In the arms of the sinner I am
Bbsus Bb Bbsus2 Bb
Could it be that my worth should depend
Bbsus Bb F
On the crimson-stained grace on a hand?
Bbsus Bb
Like a lamp on a hill
F Gm
Lord, I pray in your will
Eb F Bb
To reveal all of you that I can
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm7 F Ebsus2 Bb
So turn on the light and reveal all the glory
F Ebsus2 Bb
I am not afraid
F Ebsus2 Bb
To bare all my weakness, knowing in meekness
Gm F Fsus F
I have a kingdom to gain
[Chorus]
Bb F Eb Fsus F
Where there is peace and love in the light (in the light oh)
Bb F Ebsus2
I am not afraid
Fsus F Bb F Eb Fsus F Bb
To let your light shine bright in my life (in my life oh)
F Bb Fsus F Bb
I...
[Outro]
Bbsus Bb
There’s a place in the darkness
Bbsus2 Bb
That I used to cling to
Bbsus Bb F
It presses harsh hope against time
