NOTE: For ease of chording, I use normal tuning.  However JMT uses drop D.
Thus if you want to use the drop D - move everything on the low E up two
frets, and the * becomes the open string note (D).  Also the last 2 bars
of the riff (from last Gm) are used throughout the piece to tie parts
togeather**
 
Riff:
 
  Gm      Dm7      F   Gm
1.I see a struggle now within
  C           Gm
  Alive in my soul
         C        Gm
  As I'm dying to sin**
  Gm       Dm7 F         Gm
  I do the things that I hate
       C           Gm
  So I hate what I do
  C          Gm
  Who will deliver me?
      Bb           F F7        1Dm7 F  Gm    <-Note: this line is not
  But thanks be to God Through Je--sus Christ        exact I know - please
            Bb          F     Dm7    Gm              offer alternates...
  For there is no Condemnation    at all
 
Riff:
 
  Gm          Dm7     F       Gm
2.This is the message we have heard
          C             Gm
  We have seen with our eyes
          C                Gm
  We have touched with our hands**
  Gm  Dm7     F      Gm
  The word of life appeared
      C           Gm
  The word became flesh
      C           Gm
  The word dwelt among us**
      Bb      F F7  1Dm7  F    Gm
  The word of life, The God of light
         Bb              F       Dm7    Gm
  And in him there is no darkness    at all
 
  Gm                  Dm7        F    Gm
3.If we claim to have fellowship with Him
         C           Gm
  Yet we walk in the dark
     C         Gm
  We live in a lie**
        Gm       Dm7 F       Gm
  If we claim to be  without sin
       C        Gm
  We deceive ourselves
      C               Gm
  The word is not within us
        Bb          F   F7    1Dm7 F      Gm
  If we confess our sins   and cry out to God
          Bb              F      Dm7   Gm
  He will forgive and purify our human hearts
      Bb        F F7   1Dm7 F  Gm
  For those who are in Je--sus Christ
         Bb               F      Dm7 Gm
  He has given us, of the spirit of  God
 
Riff:
 
fin:  Gm      F        Dm7 Gm
      I See a struggle now within
       C          Gm
      Alive in my soul
             C        Gm
      As I'm dying to sin**
