Intro: BB A augmentedA E MajorE (2X)
Verse 1:
BB A augmentedA E MajorE
I was a poor boy papa when you decide you would make me wealthy
BB A augmentedA E MajorE
I had this sickness in my bones, I was sure not far from home, you make me healthy yeah yeah
BB A augmentedA E MajorE
I was rejected, dejected, incorrect, unprotected, defected from my people
BB A augmentedA E MajorE
I was contriving, cliff diving, capsizing, no freedom rising from the deep hole
Chorus:
BB A augmentedA E MajorE
But You make me free, and I must sing
BB A augmentedA E MajorE
You baptize me just doin' Your thing
Verse 2:
BB A augmentedA E MajorE
I had the feeling all along that there was somethin' bearing strong over my shoulder
BB A augmentedA E MajorE
And it got closer through the years, through abandonment and tears as I got older, yes it did
BB A augmentedA E MajorE
Hitchhiking through the wilderness, and bearing all my consequence I was a stranger
BB A augmentedA E MajorE
You picked me up on 66 and met me with your loving-kindness instead of anger
Verse 3:
BB
Now it?s a quarter ?til the clock strikes, and hopefully the shock might
A augmentedA
Hit you like a rock fight or like a butcher?s block might
E MajorE
Quick as lightning shock kite comes the key to lock tight
The door on which he knock right now until it?s not night
BB A augmentedA
Everybody walk tight rope until their chalk white, hopes are wiped away by the wind
E MajorE
If the devil?s your friend you got a burden on your back, And some poison in your blood
BB A augmentedA
It?s our burden to unpack, leave it behind in the mud
E MajorE
Click clack goes the old smoke stack and when it leaves
It ain?t never coming back, so you best be ready when the train comes steady
BB A augmentedA
It?s rollin? heavy ?round the bends, get on board my friend
E MajorE
For the land of Lord cause the levee?s gonna break, in the end
