Sweet Chariot

      B                           Abm            B     
Oh my darlin' I have searched the desert and the sky
                              F# 
Just to find you and take the mourning from my eyes
       B                       E              B
When I lost you I suffered and you were sanctified
       Abm         F#		E           B   
We are all born to live we are all bound to die

Chorus:
 			      F#				 F#7
Swing down sweet chariot, the flesh will fall and the bones will rot
    B 
But from my sorrow you'll carry me not 
                     F#                     B
My heart is bound my soul is chained to the rock
				     F#                          F#7
Rock of ages cleft for me, I swung down my hammer out in Joshua Tree
   B
It rang on the mountain and rolled to the sea 
            F#            B
And it will ring from the rock

Oh my children, sorrow shall come to each of us
All our trials will soon lay buried in the dust
Long forgotten but quick as silver turns to rust
Love is found when the heart is lost

Chorus
