By The Mark Tab

by Gillian Welch


Another of Gillian's songs that i cant stop playing and thought i would tab for anyone 
wants it.

This one's in Standard tuning (as is mostly all of Gillian's songs)

Capo 5th Fret

  
When I cross over
         
I will shout and sing
                             
I will know my savior by the mark
                        
Where the nails have been.

Chorus:

By the mark where the nails have been
                        
By the sign upon his precious skin
 
I will know my savior when I come to him
                                 
By the mark where the nails have been.


 
A man of riches
      
May claim a crown of jewels
         
But the king of heaven
                              
Can be told from the prince of fools.


Chorus:

By the mark where the nails have been
                        
By the sign upon his precious skin
 
I will know my savior when I come to him
                                 
By the mark where the nails have been.

 
On Calvary Mountain
             
Where they made him suffer so
        
All my sin was paid for
                 
A long, long time ago.

Chorus:

By the mark where the nails have been
                        
By the sign upon his precious skin
 
I will know my savior when I come to him
                                 
By the mark where the nails have been....
