(Bm7*   Dadd2    Em7    C) x 2

Bm7*                  Dadd2
As I walk through the valley of the
Em7         C
shadow of L.A.
     Bm7*               Dadd2
The footsteps that were next to me have
Em7                  C
gone their separate ways
            Bm7*                  Dadd2
I've seen enough now to know that beautiful things don't
Em7               C
always stay that way
            Bm7*                  Dadd2
I've done enough now to know this beautiful place isn't
Em7              C
everything they say

G   D/F#       Em7           C
  I heard that evil comes disguised
G                  D/F#       Em7                  C
  like the city of angels I'm walking towards the light

G                 D/F#
  Baptized in the river I've seen a
Em7                      C   Cadd2  D*
vision of my life And I wanna be delivered
G                     D/F#
  In the city I was a sinner I've done a
Em7                        C   Cadd2    D*
lot of things wrong But I swear I'm a believer
G                   D/F#
  Like the prodigal son I was out on my
Em7                    C     Cadd2 D*
own Now I'm trying to find my way back home
G                  D/F#       Em7           C       
   D*
  Baptized in the river I'm delivered I'm delivered

[M.Shadows:]


              Bm7                     Dadd2
You're from a small town You're gonna grow up fast
Em7                C
underneath these lights.
        Bm7              Dadd2
Down in Hollywood on the boulevard, the
Em7                C
dead come back to life.
       Bm7                Dadd2
To the praying Mother the worried Father,
Em7               C
Let your children go.
   Bm7                    Dadd2
If they come back they'll come home stronger, and
Em7                    C
if they don't you'll know

G      D/F#     Em7           C
  They say that evil comes disguised
G                  D/F#       Em7                  C
  like the city of angels I'm walking towards the light

G                 D/F#
  Baptized in the river I've seen a
Em7                      C   Cadd2  D*
vision of my life And I wanna be delivered
G                     D/F#
  In the city I was a sinner I've done a
Em7                        C   Cadd2    D*
lot of things wrong But I swear I'm a believer
G                   D/F#
  Like the prodigal son I was out on my
Em7                    C     Cadd2 D*
own Now I'm trying to find my way back home
G                  D/F#       Em7           C       
   D*
  Baptized in the river I'm delivered I'm delivered

G                 D/F#         Em7     C   Cadd2 D*
  Baptized in the river (on my own)
  Baptized in the river (on my own)
  Baptized in the river (on my own) I wanna be delivered
  Baptized in the river (on my own) I wanna be delivered

  Baptized in the river (on my own) I wanna be delivered
  Baptized in the river (on my own) I wanna be delivered
  Baptized in the river (on my own) I wanna be delivered
G                 D/F#
  I confess I'm a sinner I've seen a

Em7                     C    Cadd2  D*
vision of my life And I wanna be delivered
