A New Man Chords

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

[Interlude]
|G  |C  |G  |C  |

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

[Interlude]
|G  |C  |G  |C  |

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

[Chorus 1]
                  C
You must become a new man
              G       Gadd11 G
Must become a new man
              C
Must become a new man
G G/F# Em   D
Change

[Verse 4]
    G                                      C
You felt the storm clouds building in your bones
   G                           C
Tornados spun for you and you alone
         G                                    C
And then wrapped themselves around you in the rain and whipping wind
              D
And slip your skin, begin again

[Verse 5]
       G                                   C
You'll find there's only love and love's returning
           G                                     C
And you'll finally know the warmth of home fires burning
        G                                C
And the green hills will be waving with abandon
    G                                C
The road unrolled before you like an anthem

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

[Chorus 2]
              C
You will be a new man
              G       Gadd11 G
You will be a new man
              C
You will be a new man
G G/F# Em   D
Change

[Chorus 2]
              C
You will be a new man
              G       Gadd11 G
You will be a new man
              C
You will be a new man
G G/F# Em   D
Change

[Insturmental]
|Am  |C  |G G/F# Em  |D  |  x2

[Chorus 2]
              C
You will be a new man
              G       C/G G
You will be a new man
              C
You will be a new man
G G/F# Em   D
Change

[Outro]
|G  |C  |G  |C  |G  |
