Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Farther along well know all about it

Farther along well understand why

Cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine

Well understand this, all by and by

Tempted and tried, I wondered why

The good man died, the bad man thrives

And Jesus cries because he loves em both

Were all cast-aways in need of ropes

Hangin on by the last threads of our hope

In a house of mirrors full of smoke

Confusing illusions Ive seen

Where did I go wrong, I sang along

To every chorus of the song

That the devil wrote like a piper at the gates

Leading mice and men down to their fates

But some will courageously escape

The seductive voice with a heart of faith

While walkin that line back home

So much more to life than weve been told

Its full of beauty that will unfold

And shine like you struck gold my wayward son

That deadweight burden weighs a ton

Go down into the river and let it run

And wash away all the things youve done

Forgiveness alright

Chorus

Intro 2x

Still I get hard pressed on every side

Between the rock and a compromise

Like the truth and pack of lies fightin for my soul

And Ive got no place left go

Cause I got changed by what Ive been shown

More glory than the world has known

Keeps me ramblin on

Skipping like a calf loosed from its stall

Im free to love once and for all

And even when I fall Ill get back up

For the joy that overflows my cup

Heaven filled me with more than enough

Broke down my levee and my bluff

Let the flood wash me

And one day when the sky rolls back on us

Some rejoice and the others fuss

Cause every knee must bow and tongue confess

That the son of god is forever blessed

His is the kingdom, were the guests

So put your voice up to the test

Sing Lord, come soon

Chorus
