Lyrics

We all start on the out side, the (G)out side look ing in.

This is (Dm7)where grace be gins.

We were hun gry, we were thirst y, with (G)noth ing left to give.

Oh, the (Dm7)shape that we were (Fsus2)in.

And just when all hope seemed lost,

Love o pened the door for us.

He said: (C)Come

(Dm7)to the ta ble.

Come join the (Dm7)sin ners who have (Fsus2)been re deemed.

Take your (C)place be (Dm7)side the Sav ior.

Sit down and (C)be set free.

Come to the ta ble.

Come meet this (Dm7)mot ley crew of mis fits, these (Dm7)li ars and these thieves;

there’s no (Dm7)one un wel come here.

And that sin and shame that you brought with you, you can (Dm7)leave it at the door

and let (Dm7)mer cy draw you (F)near.

So,

Come to the ta ble,

come to the ta ble.

To the thief and to the doubt er, to the (F)he ro and the cow ard, to the (C)pris ’ner and the sol dier, to the (G)young and to the old er, all who (Am)hun ger all who thirst, all the last and all the first, all the pau pers and the princ es, all who fail, you’ve been for giv en, all who (Am)dream and all who suf fer, all who loved and lost an oth er, all the chained and all the free, all who fol (G)low, all who lead, an y one who’s been let down, all the lost, you have been found, all who’ve been (C)la beled right or wrong, to ev ’ry one (G)who hears this song:

(C)Come

(Dm7)to the ta ble.

Come join the (Dm7)sin ners; you have (Fsus2)been re deemed.

Take your (C)place be (Dm7)side the Sav ior.

Sit down and (C)be set free.

Whoa,

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a wonderful place to develop your left-hand walking bass skills at a forgiving 80 BPM — the slow ballad tempo gives you time to think ahead, so really lean into that. Your right hand will cycle through seven chords, most of them closely related in C major, but pay special attention to the Fsus2 and Dm7 shapes: the Fsus2 wants you to lift that fourth finger cleanly off the A to land on the G, and Dm7 can feel crowded if your hand is tense, so keep your wrist loose and fingers curved. The trickiest transition is moving between Am and Fsus2 when the walking bass is in motion — isolate that change hands-separately first, then combine at half tempo before bringing it up to speed. Loop any four-bar phrase where your left hand stumbles; the walking pattern needs to feel automatic so you can focus on shaping the right hand dynamically. Once this clicks, you'll have a really solid foundation for smooth chord-to-chord voice leading in ballad style, which carries over to dozens of other songs in this genre.
