Tom: D

A C#m G D

[Verse 1]
      A              C#m
Son of man has risen, up from the prison
G                       D
Broken the spell and anyone can tell
      A            C#m
Son of man is free, sister you and me
G                          D
We’re common people with integrity

[Verse 2]
      A            C#m
Son of man say rise, wipe your weeping eyes
G                           D
You are alive and there’s nothing to hide
      A            C#m
Son of man is free, walk upon the seas
G                          D
We’re common people with integrity

[Chorus]
      A           C#m
Son of man, son of man
      G           D       A C#m G D
Son of man, son of man

[Bridge]
F#m                         G
'Cause he had shown thee, oh man
       D
What is good
   F#m                    G
And what does your lord require of you
         D                   C#m
But to do justice and to love mercy 
           D                E
And to walk humble with your king

[Chorus]
      A           C#m
Son of man, son of man
      G           D       A C#m G D
Son of man, son of man

[Bridge]
F#m                       G
Yes, he had shown thee, oh man
       D
What is good
   F#m                    G
And what does your lord require of you
         D                   C#m
But to do justice and to love mercy 
           D                E
And to walk humble with your king

[Verse 3]
      A            C#m
Son of man say rise, wipe your weeping eyes
G                           D
You are alive and there’s nothing to hide
      A           C#m
Son of man is free, walk upon the seas
G                          D
We’re common people with integrity

[Chorus]
      A           C#m
Son of man, son of man
      G           D       A C#m G D
Son of man, son of man
