[C] [A] [F] [G] [C]
[Verse 1]
[C]David, son of [A]Jesse
Shepherd [F]to his fathers [D]sheep
Played the [C]harp when Saul got [A]weary
[A7]Rocked t[F]he giant[G] till he was fast[C] asleep
[C]People prayed when Saul killed [A7]thousands
When David [F]killed ten thousand they [D]cheered
And all that [C]noise they saw [A7]angr[A]y
And the [F]shepherd was [G]on the lamb for [C]years
[Cborus]
[F]David was a [G]man down in [C]Israel
[Asus4]Fighter, lover, shepherd, king, outlaw[D] [G]
And [F]through it all God [G]loved him and for[C]gave him[A7]
[D]David the [G]man who'd done it [C]all[A7] [D] [G] [C]
[Verse 2]
[C]Bathsheba wife of [A7] Uri[A] -ah
Took a [F]bath under David's watchful [D]eye
He fell in [C]love and took her[A7] bo [A]- dy
Then he [F]sent U[G]riah out to d[C]ie
He [C]was weak like you and [A]I are
And as a [F]sinner David did his[D] part
But [C]God said this man [A7]Dav - [A]id
Is [F]a man [G]after my own h[C]eart
[Cborus]
[F]David was [G]a man down in I[C]srael
[A7]Fighter, lover, shepherd, king, outl[D]aw[G]
And [F]through it all God [G]loved him and for[C]gave him[A7]
[D]David the [G]man who'd done it [C]all[A7]
Ah [D]David [G]the man who'd done it[C] all[A7]
[Outro]
[D] [G] [C]
