The Ten Commandments chords by Johnny Cash

Chords with lyrics

G+G
Moses led God's children out to find the promised land


And on the way he'd stop each day and look to Heaven and

   C majorC
Asked God for help as he could not withstand the task alone

  G+G
And then one day he looked away and thereby lay a stone


  D7D7
God said write upon this stone these words I say to you

  C majorC
And if you all obey my rules I'll see you safely through

  D7D7
God opened Heaven's door and then He guided Moses' hands

  C majorC                  D7D7
And then He said go and tell my children these are my commands

    G+G
Go and climb that mountain Moses climb that mountain now and pray


Climb that mountain now and tell us what our Lord has had to say


Thou shalt have no Gods before me is my great command


And thou shalt not make any graven image by thy hand


   C majorC
Thou shalt not take My name in vain if thou would guiltless be

G+G
Remember thou to keep the Sabbath day alone for me

D7D7
Honor thy father and thy mother and thou shalt not kill

   C majorC
Thou shalt not commit adultery and thou shalt not steal

D7D7
Love thy neighbor as thyself and show thy neighbor peace

C majorC                 D7D7
Covet not thy neighbor's house nor anything that's his

    G+G
Go and climb that mountain Moses climb that mountain now and pray


Climb that mountain now and tell us what our Lord has had to say


G+G
Moses showed these words of God to all the children then


They pulled up stakes and headed out to find the promised land

   C majorC
That Moses had described to them and told of comforts there

  G+G
The children of oppression thought they'd not find anywhere


  D7D7
But they were soon to part from him and push alone awhile

  C majorC
For it was never meant for him to walk that final mile

  D7D7
The children cried if we must go on Moses without you

C majorC                    D7D7
Then talk to God just one more time and tell us what to do


    G+G
Go and climb that mountain Moses climb that mountain now and pray


Climb that mountain now and tell us what our Lord has had to say


Thou shalt have no Gods before me is my great command


And thou shalt not make any graven image by thy hand


   C majorC
Thou shalt not take My name in vain if thou would guiltless be

G+G
Remember thou to keep the Sabbath day alone for me

D7D7
Honor thy father and thy mother and thou shalt not kill

   C majorC
Thou shalt not commit adultery and thou shalt not steal


D7D7
Love thy neighbor as thyself and show thy neighbor peace

C majorC                 D7D7
Covet not thy neighbor's house nor anything that's his

    G+G
Go and climb that mountain Moses climb that mountain now and pray
