Chords with lyrics

TUNING: Eb MajorEb


A minorAm        G+G     A minorAm
Come on down and meet your maker
G+G    E minorEm
Come on down and make the Stand

A minorAm
Oh, I have been out searching
      G+G        A minorAm
With this black book in my hand
A minorAm                        G+G
And I've looked between the lines that lie on the pages
     A minorAm
That I've tread
A minorAm                    G+G       A minorAm
I met the walking dude, religious in his worn down cowboy boots
A minorAm                G+G
He walked liked no man on earth I swear he had no name
G+G
Swear he had no name

CHORUS:

A minorAm        G+G     A minorAm
Come on down and meet your maker
G+G    E minorEm    Fmaj7Fmaj7  G+G
Come on down and make the Stand
A minorAm    G+G  E minorEm   Fmaj7Fmaj7
Come on down, come on down
    G+G   Fmaj7Fmaj7   G+G  A minorAm
Come on down we'll make the Stand

As I crawled beneath the searchlights
Looking through the floorboards of this life
I met doctor Strangeloves cousin
He bore the marks of time
"Hey! Trashcan, where you going boy
Your eyes are feet apart
Is that the end you're carrying
Shall I play the funeral march?"
Play the funeral march

REAPEAT CHORUS:

When I looked out the window on the hardship that had struck
I saw the seven phials open the plague claimed man and son
Four men at a grave in silence got their hats bowed down in grace
A augmentedA simple wooden cross had no epitaph engraved
No Epitaph engraved

REPEAT CHORUS:

Come roll out the red carpet come bugler sound the horn
For the hero is returning gotta welcome him to his home
Don't say I didn't warn you this prophesy is coming true
I can hear the cavalry thundering
Riding over the hill, riding over the hill
