Dead Man On The Altar

G Em D# G C G D# Am G G Living for the moment C My life had gone to waste D From the whiskey and the women G And all my worldly ways G At an old-fashioned altar C Where I bowed my head and prayed D You know that day my old man passed away G And I'm a brand new man today G So there's a dead man on the altar C Got that bottle by his side D And there's a new man right beside him G He got both hands raised to the sky G You see I gave my life to Jesus C He made me a brand new man D So there's a dead man on the altar G Right where I got born again G Well, I was taking life for granted C There would be another day D So I lived the way I wanted G Cause there was plenty of time to change G But when the road that I had travelled C Nearly led me to the grave D That's when I laid upon this altar G This old man I freely gave C G And I let Jesus take away the old man C G I let him wash away all his evil deeds C G And I let Jesus put a brand new man in me C D And he's the man that God created me to be N.C. G So there's a dead man on the altar C Got that bottle by his side D And there's a new man right beside him G Got both hands raised to the sky G You see I gave my life to Jesus C He made me a brand new man D So there's a dead man on the altar G Right where I got born again G You see I gave my life to Jesus C And he made me a brand new man D And there's a dead man on the altar G Right where I got born again C I left that dead man on the altar D N.C. C Cause I don't want to be like him G Mm hmm D# Am Mm hmm N.C. G I left that dead man on the altar
