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
