Part of a concept album where I write a song from the perspective of one of the people in each chapter of the book of Mark.
Mark 1 (John the Baptist)
Capo 1
Am G Am
Make way through the desert, make way
Fmaj7 G Am
You’ve been waiting, you’ve been longing for this day
Am G Am
Turn away from the darkness, turn away
Fmaj7 G Am
And listen to the words that He will say
Am C
Well, You come out to see me
Am
And hear what I advise
D
Come into the water
E7 Am
So you can be baptised
Am C
You look for acceptance
Am
Hoping to be seen
D
I offer repentance
E7
So your sins can be made clean
Am G Am
Make way through the desert, make way
Fmaj7 G Am
You’ve been waiting, you’ve been longing for this day
Am G Am
Turn away from the darkness, turn away
Fmaj7 G Am
And listen to the words that He will say
Dm
I am not the one you seek
Em
I am just the crier
F
The one who’s coming after me
Dm E
Will cleanse you with His fire
Make way through the desert, make way
You’ve been waiting, you’ve been longing for this day
Turn away from the darkness, turn away
And listen to the words that He will say

Love this concept, I'm going to have to check out more of these. I like the change at "I am not the one you seek"....

I like how different John the Baptist's voice is from Christ's. This feels just right. Beautiful concept and execution.
