Can't Keep A Good Man Down - Chords

[Printable version]

Capo up one fret. The song is actually in D#
D= D/D4 - That is when playing a D, play in the open
position and hammer on the high E string on the third fret.

D
HE SAID GOODBYE TO THE ANGELS OF HEAVEN
AND HE CAME TO EARTH AS A COMMON MAN
HE TAUGHT US HOW WE COULD LOVE ONE ANOTHER
                       C              G
THERE WAS HEALING IN HIS HANDS
Bm
THERE WERE THOSE WHO BELIEVED AND FOLLOWED HIM
AND THERE WERE THOSE WHO WANTED HIM DEAD
THEY THOUGHT THE GRAVE WOULD SILENCE HIM FOREVER
          C                                    G
BUT THEY FOUND OUT INSTEAD

                    D
YOU CAN CLOSE YOUR EYES
YOU CAN SAY IT'S A LIE
                    C                 G
YOU CAN STICK YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND
                    D
YOU CAN TURN AWAY EVEN TRY TO EXPLAIN
                 C                            G
HE WAS JUST ANOTHER MAN

Bm
WHEN THEY NAILED HIM TO THE CROSS BY HIS HANDS AND HIS FEET
                                                       C
AND THEY PUT HIM IN THE GROUND
G                       A
                            G
THREE DAYS LATER EVERYBODY FOUND OUT THAT YA CAN'T
               A           G         A          D
NO YOU CAN'T KEEP A GOOD MAN DOWN
                 C                   G          D
NO YOU CAN'T KEEP A GOOD MAN DOWN

2nd verse
I HEAR YOU SAY THAT IT ALL SOUNDS CRAZY
IT'S A GOOD STORY BUT IT CAN'T BE TRUE
HOW COULD A MAN THAT WAS DEAD AND BURIED
MEAN A THING TO YOU?


HERE WE ARE TWO THOUSAND YEARS LATER
AND STILL THE CHOICE IS JUST THE SAME
YOU CAN SAY THAT YA DON'T BELIEVE IT
BUT IT DOESN'T CHANGE A THING


I CAN TAKE YOU THE HILL WHERE THEY HUNG HIM ON A CROSS
I CAN TAKE YOU TO THE EMPTY TOMB
I CAN TELL YOU HE'S ALIVE 'CAUSE HE LIVES IN ME
BUT THE REST IS UP TO YOU…
