Introduction: G C9 Em7 D
G C9 Em7 D
Farther along well know all about it
G C9 Em7 D
Farther along well understand why
G C9 Em7 D
Cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine
G C9 Em7 D
Well understand this, all by and by
G
Tempted and tried, I wondered why
C9
The good man died, the bad man thrives
Em7 D
And Jesus cries because he loves em both
Were all cast-aways in need of ropes
G C9
Hangin on by the last threads of our hope
Em7
In a house of mirrors full of smoke
D
Confusing illusions Ive seen
G
Where did I go wrong, I sang along
C9
To every chorus of the song
Em7
That the devil wrote like a piper at the gates
D G
Leading mice and men down to their fates
C9
But some will courageously escape
Em7
The seductive voice with a heart of faith
D
While walkin that line back home
G
So much more to life than weve been told
C9
Its full of beauty that will unfold
Em7 D
And shine like you struck gold my wayward son
G
That deadweight burden weighs a ton
C9
Gºdown
Em7
And wash away all the things youve done
D
Forgiveness alright
(Chorus)
G
Still I get hard pressed on every side
C9
Between the rock and a compromise
Em7 D
Like the truth and pack of lies fightin for my soul
G
And Ive got no place left go
C9
Cause I got changed by what Ive been shown
Em7
More glory than the world has known
D
Keeps me ramblin on
G
Skipping like a calf loosed from its stall
C9
Im free to love once and for all
Em7 D
And even when I fall Ill get back up
G
For the joy that overflows my cup
C9
Heaven filled me with more than enough
Em7
Broke down my levee and my bluff
D
Let the flood wash me
G
And one day when the sky rolls back on us
C9
Some rejoice and the others fuss
Em7 D
Cause every knee must bow and tongue confess
That the son of god is forever blessed
G C9
His is the kingdom, were the guests
Em7
So put your voice up to the test
D
Sing Lord, come soon
(Chorus)
