Capo 2nd Fret

Intro: G  C9  Em7  D

G           C9      Em7        D
Farther along well know all about it
G           C9      Em7           D
Farther along well understand why
G                 C9     Em7          D
Cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine
G            C9         Em7        D
Well understand this, all by and by

G
Tempted and tried, I wondered why
       C9
The good man died, the bad man thrives
       Em7                                             D
And Jesus cries because he loves em both

Were all cast-aways in need of ropes
G                                C9
Hangin on by the last threads of our hope
                        Em7
In a house of mirrors full of smoke
                       D
Confusing illusions Ive seen

 G
Where did I go wrong, I sang along
       C9
To every chorus of the song
              Em7
That the devil wrote like a piper at the gates
D                                    G
Leading mice and men down to their fates
                        C9
But some will courageously escape
                              Em7
The seductive voice with a heart of faith
                     D
While walkin that line back home

                          G
So much more to life than weve been told
          C9
Its full of beauty that will unfold
       Em7                                                   D
And shine like you struck gold my wayward son
                                       G
That deadweight burden weighs a ton
                             C9
Go down into the river and let it run
                                 Em7
And wash away all the things youve done
               D
Forgiveness alright

Chorus
Intro 2x

G
Still I get hard pressed on every side
               C9
Between the rock and a compromise
             Em7                                        D
Like the truth and pack of lies fightin for my soul
                           G
And Ive got no place left go
                                      C9
Cause I got changed by what Ive been shown
                             Em7
More glory than the world has known
                            D
Keeps me ramblin on

              G
Skipping like a calf loosed from its stall
      C9
Im free to love once and for all
       Em7                                  D
And even when I fall Ill get back up
                                   G
For the joy that overflows my cup
                                     C9
Heaven filled me with more than enough
                               Em7
Broke down my levee and my bluff
                  D
Let the flood wash me

G
And one day when the sky rolls back on us
C9
Some rejoice and the others fuss
Em7                                                        D
Cause every knee must bow and tongue confess

That the son of god is forever blessed
G                                      C9
His is the kingdom , were the guests
                                 Em7
So put your voice up to the test
                         D
Sing Lord, come soon
