Verse: 1



      Em
Every man will see the day

         D                  Em
That his hopes are dashed a-way


No word can bring him peace

   D               Em
No man can set him free


Some will ramble far from home

           D              Em
Work their fingers to the bone


Some will numb their hearts with wine

       D                    Em     
To dis-tract their troubled minds


Chorus:


Take me down to Calvary

              D     Em    D        Em
Take me down, down, down, right on down


Verse: 2   


There's no running from your troubles

          D                 Em
Or you're sure to make them double


You will meet your destiny 

      D      Em
Every man is Calvary


Chorus:


Take me down to Calvary

              D     Em    D        Em
Take me down, down, down, right on down

        A             Em
Take me down, take me down

              D              Em
Take me down, down, right on down


Verse: 3


I will lay my hammer down

       D              Em
Set my knees upon the ground


I will not leave from this place

        D             Em
Until I see a face-to-face


Chorus:


Take me down to Calvary

              D     Em    D        Em
Take me down, down, down, right on down

        A             Em
Take me down, take me down

              D              Em
Take me down, down, right on down

        A             Em  
Take me down, take me down

              D     Em    D              Em 
Take me down, down, down, down, right on down
