The Young Man Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]On a Friday evening as the sun
went down
The body of a man
who wore a thorn made crown
Was carried to a graveyard
in the fading light
And laid with deep affection
in a garden
Up on the hill the shadow
of his gallows fell
And faded as the sun descended lower [Dm]still
[C]The gro[G]und was wor[C]n and bare where
many feet had trod
To watch the execution

[Verse 2]
of the young man
[C]And what of me, so distant from [F]that far,
[C]gone, place
Still the [Dm]wonder of [C]that moment
[F]crosses time and [C]space
With mystery and majesty
none [F]can explain
[Dm]For it draws [C]me to the [F]story of
[Dm]the young [C]man
The next day being Sabbath, was a [Dm]day

[Verse 3]
[F]
of rest
And [C]one of some reflection
[Dm]for the young man's [C]friends
No longer messianic [F]zeal [Dm]con
sumed their hearts
[C]Just sorrow for the killing of [Dm]the young [C]man
Maybe some type of guitar sound added
And I suppose some tears
were shed till [F]sleep came last
[C]Then rising early morning
once the Sabbath passed
A woman made her way to
[Dm]find the garden [F]tomb
[C]To leave her oil and flowers for [Dm]the young [C]man[F][G]
[Dm][F][G][C][F][Am][Dm]

[Verse 4]
[G][Dm][C]
Now history tells of heavy
[F]stone to [Dm]bar the [F]way
Was [C]fixed by many soldiers
[Dm]on the open grave
[C]For when she found it rolled
[F]aside and emptied tomb
She [C]grieved the stolen body
of [Dm]the young [C]man
A gardener called her by her
[Dm]name as she [F]kneeled down
[C]And asked her why she
searched about the [Dm]burial ground
And [C]wiping bitter tears away with
the [Dm]dawns first light
She saw the [C]risen glory of the [Dm]young [C]man
