A New Man Chords & Lyrics - Josh Ritter

[VERSE 1]
[G]Look at you, the sorry state you're [C]in
A [G]man without a country or a [C]friend
A [G]man who can't remember how his [C]blood would shake in boyhood
To the [G]rhythm of the wheat fields in the [C]wind

[INTERLUDE]
|G |C |G |C |

[VERSE 2]
[G]Stung by those old lies you told your[C]self
[G]Strung with that same rope you sold your[C]self
Either [G]you can't hear the bells or you can't [C]tell for whom they toll
And still they [D]toll, it's time to [D7]go

[INTERLUDE]
|G |C |G |C |

[VERSE 3]
Make a [G]habit of erasing every [C]track
No [G]trace of love behind to mark your [C]path
Teaching [G]everyone a lesson, thought your [C]heart was worth the hold
And that it's [D]not, is that what you w[D7]ant?

[CHORUS 1]
You must become a [C]new man
[G] Gadd11 [G]
Must become a new man
Must become a [C]new man
[G]Ch[G/F#]ange [Em] [D]

[VERSE 4]
You [G]felt the storm clouds building in your [C]bones
Tor[G]nados spun for you and you a[C]lone
And then [G]wrapped themselves around you in the [C]rain and whipping wind
And slip your [D]skin, begin a[D7]gain

[VERSE 5]
And you'll [G]find there's only love and love's re[C]turnin'
And you'll [G]finally know the warmth of home fires [C]burnin'
And the [G]green hills will be waving with a[C]bandon
The [G]road unrolled before you like an [C]anthem

[VERSE 6]
In [G]every strangers face a place of [C]welcome
No [G]matter who you are or where you [C]came from
You won't [G]walk among the dead a moment l[C]onger
You won't [D]belong there [D7]

[CHORUS 2]
You will be a [C]new man
[G] Gadd11 [G]
You will be a new man
You will be a [C]new man
[G]Ch[G/F#]ange [Em] [D]

[CHORUS 2]
You will be a [C]new man
[G] Gadd11 [G]
You will be a new man
You will be a [C]new man
[G]Ch[G/F#]ange [Em] [D]

[Insturmental]

[CHORUS 2]
You will be a [C]new man
You will be a [G]new man [C/G] [G]
You will be a [C]new man
