Josiah Queen - Empty As The Grave

Capo: 2nd fret

[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
G D C
It happened in the garden first
G D C
The enemy tried to bend Your Word
G D
From the mouth of the deciever
C G
Said the fruit was even sweeter
G D C
And that you’d never break the curse

[Chorus]
G D
But that lie is empty, empty,
C G
Empty as the grave
G D C G
You claimed every victory when the stone was rolled away,
G D
And even death has lost its sting
C G
Lost its power over me
G D C
That lie is empty, empty, empty
G D C G
Empty as the grave

[Verse 2]
G D C
And then You walked the wilderness,
G D C
hell tried to find its voice again
G D
Tempted Jesus with an altar,
C G
sent the worlds what He could offer,
D C
and said “you couldn’t conquer sin”

[Chorus]
G D
That lie is empty, empty,
C G
Empty as the grave
G D C G
You claimed every victory when the stone was rolled away,
G D
Even death has lost its sting,
C G
Lost its power over me
G D C
That lie is empty, empty, empty
G
Empty as the grave

[Bridge]
D C
No the nails weren’t strong enough
G
to keep You there
D C
when You gave Your life for us,
G
even death ran scared
D C
When they sealed the tomb
G
that they laid You in
D C
Hosanna was the end

[Chorus]
N.C.
But that lie is empty, empty
N.C.
Empty as the grave
G D C G
Oh You claim every victory when the stone was rolled away,
G D
Even death has lost its sting,
C G
Lost its power over me
G D C
That lie is empty, empty, empty
G D C
Oh that lie is empty, empty, empty
G D C G
Empty as the grave

[Outro]
G D C G
Empty as the grave
N.C.
Empty as the grave
