Chorus

        Am
You can run on for a long time,
Dsus2             Am
Run on for a long time,
Am
Run on for a long time,
C           Dsus2       Em      Am
Sooner or later, God'll cut you down.
C           Dsus2       Em          Am
Sooner or later, God'll ... cut you down.


   Am
Go Tell that long tongued liar,
Dsus2                 Am
Go Tell that midnight rider,
Am
Tell the Rambler, the Gambler, the Backbiter,
C              Dsus2       Em     Am
Tell them that God's gonna cut em down.
C              Dsus2       Em             Am
Tell them that God's gonna ... cut em down.

Verse

     Am
Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news.
Dsus2                       Am
My heads been wet with the midnight dew.
Am
I've been down on bended knee,
Dsus2                   Am
talkin' to the man from Galilee.
    Am
He spoke to me in a voice so sweet,
Dsus2                             Am
I thought I heard the shuffle of angels’ feet.
   Am
He called my name and my heart stood still,
Dsus2*
When He said "John go do my will"...

Verse

          Am
You may throw your rock, hide your hand,
Dsus2                            Am
workin' in the dark against your fellow man.
    Am
But as sure as God made black and white,
Dsus2                             Am
What's done in the dark, will be brought to the light.
