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 2 (Paralytic)
Capo 2 (open low E)
D D/B
These useless feet
D G
They won’t carry me
D D/B D G
Even if there weren’t such a crowd in front of the door
D D/B
I’ve got my friends
D G
And we won’t give in
D D/B D G
There’s never been someone like this around here before
A Bm
Lifted up
G Em
Lowered down
A G
It’s not a normal day in Capernaum
D D/B
All the people seek
D G
Oh to hear Him speak
D D/B D G
The words of truth that bring new life to the soul
D D/B
I’ve come to see
D G
What he’ll say to me
D D/B D G
Will it be that I can be made whole?
A Bm
To walk again
G Em
To be free from sin
A G
It’s not a normal day in Capernaum
A
Tear the roof off to get inside
Bm
It’s not the strangest thing that we’ve tried
G
Indignant looks from the Pharisees
Em G A
If they don’t stop Him, they won’t stop me
A
Grab my stretcher, stand for the crowd
Bm
Gasps and cheers as the people are wowed
G Em
Won’t be the same, this little town I’m from
Em G
It’s not a normal day in Capernaum

Catchy and upbeat. Concept creates the idea of a musical in my mind.
