  Am             Am
  God said don't give me your tin horn prayers
     Am            Am
  And don't buy roses from the street down there
   Dm           Dm
  Took it all and took the dirt road home
   Am            Am
  Dreaming of Jenny with the light brown hair
   E7            Am
  Night is falling like a bloody axe
   E7            Am
  Lies and rumours and the wind at my back
   E7         Am
  Hand on the wheel, Gravel on the road
       E7        E7
  Will the pawn shop sell me back what I sold

       Am                  Am         E7
  I'm gonna take the sins of my Father, I'm gonna take the sins of my Mother
       Am                E7   Am
  I'm gonna take the sins of my brother, Down to the pond

  Am             Am
  Birds cry a warning from a hidden branch
   Am            Am
  Carving out a future with a gun and an axe
    Dm              Dm
  I'm way beyond the gavel and the laws of man
      Am            Am
  Still living in the palm of the grace of your hand
     E7          Am
  The world's not easy the blind man said
   E7          Am
  Turns on nothing but money and dread
   E7             Am
  Dogs been scratching at the door all night
   E7                 E7
  Long necked birds flying out of the moonlight

       Am                  Am         E7
  I'm gonna take the sins of my Father, I'm gonna take the sins of my Mother
       Am                E7   Am  Am E7   Am
  I'm gonna take the sins of my brother, Down to the pond, Down to the pond

   Am              Am
  Smack dab in the middle of a dirty lie
     Am             Am
  The star spangled glitter of his one good eye
    Dm           Dm
  Everybody knows that the game was rigged
   Am               Am
  Justice wears suspenders and a powdered wig
   E7          Am
  Dark town alleys been hiding you
   E7             Am
  Long bell tolling is your Waterloo
  E7    Am
  Oh baby what can you do
       E7              E7
  Does the light of God blind you,  Or lead the way home for you

       Am                   Am         E7
  I'm gonna take the sins of my Father, I'm gonna take the sins of my Mother
       Am                E7   Am  Am E7    Am
  I'm gonna take the sins of my brother, Down to the pond, Down to the pond

   Am         Am
  God almighty for righteousness sake
   Am         Am
  Humilation of our fallen state
   Dm          Dm
  Written in the Book of Tubal Cain
    Am          Am
  A long black coat will show no stain
 E7            Am
  Feel the heat and the burn on your back
    E7           Am
  The rip and the moan, The stretch of the rack
  E7            Am
  All my belongings in a flour sack
       E7        E7
  Will the place I come from take me back

      Am                  Am         E7
 I'm gonna take the sins of my Father, I'm gonna take the sins of my Mother
      Am                E7   Am  Am E7   Am
 I'm gonna take the sins of my brother, Down to the pond, Down to the pond

       Am              Am
  They'll hang me in the morning on a scaffold yea big
    Am             Am
  To dance upon nothing to the Tyburn jig
   Dm                  Dm
  Treats you like a puppet when you're under it's spell
      Am            Am
  Oh the heart is Heaven, But the mind is Hell
   E7           Am
  Jesus of Nazareth told Mike of the weeds
     E7            Am
  I's born at this time for a reason you see
   E7          Am
  When I'm dead I'll be dead a long time
       E7          E7
  But the wines so pleasing and so sublime

      Am                  Am         E7
 I'm gonna take the sins of my Father, I'm gonna take the sins of my Mother
      Am                E7   Am  Am E7   Am
 I'm gonna take the sins of my brother, Down to the pond, Down to the pond

   Am              Am
  Kissed my sweetheart by the chinaball tree
   Am             Am
  Everything I done is between God and me
   Dm            Dm
  Only he will judge how my time was spent
    Am              Am
  Twentynine days of sinning and forty to repent
 E7               Am
  The horse is steady but the horse is blind
   E7              Am
  Wicked are the branches on the tree of mankind
 E7                 Am
  The roots grow upward and the branches grow down
     E7            E7
  It's much too late to throw the dice again I've found

      Am                   Am          E7
 I'm gonna take the sins of my Father, I'm gonna take the sins of my Mother
      Am                E7   Am
 I'm gonna take the sins of my brother, Down to the pond

        Am            Am
  I'm gonna wash them,   I'm gonna wash them
        Am          Am
  I'm gonna wash the sins of my Father
        Am         E7
  I'm gonna wash the sins of my Mother
        Am          Am
  I'm gonna wash the sins of my brother
       Am     Am         Am     Am
  Till the water runs clear,  Till the water runs clear
       Am     Am         Am     Am
