suburban drug dealer, music/design student, coffee roaster, urban shepherd, and now nation- and globe-trotting minstrel of hope and healing.
He is also a beacon of light in a marketplace rife with artists who, whether wanting to acquire fame or just their next meals, have sold

"Born Again" by Josh Garrels, from the album "Home", released April 7, 2015
Standard Tuning
Capo 2
(All Chords Relative to Capo)
Intro:
C-Em-Dm-Am (Brief Strings Intro., played in a Legato Style)
F#|-----------------|
C#|-----------------|
A|-----------------|
E|-----------------|
B|-----0-3---------|
F#|---3-------------|
The overall rhythm of the song is a repetitive 8th note beat (if we're assuming 6/8 time) which can be
implemented on the guitar by picking each chord with either the fingers or a quick, downwards pick stroke
in a staccato-like fashion.
So, continuing with the intro., the measures would look like this...
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /

Verse 1:
F
I came into the world, into the wild, no place for a child
C F
Used my voice to howl, with the ghouls of night
(F) C
In the dying light
F
Had to learn to get what I need, in the dark, empty
C F
Instincts are guiding me like a beast to some blood
(F) C
And I can’t get enough
Pre-Chorus:
F
I’m losing control; my body, my soul
G
Are slowly fading away
F G
But I’m ready now to feel the power of change
Chorus:
(G) F
I’m my mother’s child
G
I’m my father’s son
F
It took me awhile
G
But my time has come
Am F C G
To be born again
(G) Am F C G
To be born again
Am F C G
Am F C G
Verse 2:
(For the start of verse 2 the chords are held, so just strum each once until the rhythm starts up again)
F
Running scared in between what I hate and what I need
G F
Savior and enemy are both trying to take my soul
(F) G
And I can’t hide no more
F
Stumble out to the light, raise my fist up to fight
G F
Then I catch your eye so full of love
(F) G
Lord, what have I done?
Pre-Chorus 2:
F
I cry at your feet, wounded for me
G
And all of the monsters and men
F G
But here in your light we can begin again
Chorus 2:
(G) F
I’m my mother’s child
G
I’m my father’s son
F
It took me a while
G
But my time has come
(G) F
I’m my mother’s child
G
I’m my father’s son
F
Lord, took me a while
G
But my time has come
Am F C G
To be born again
(G) Am F C G
To be born again
Am F C G
Am F C G
Outro:
Am F C G
Am F C G
end on F, strum 3 times
