[Verse 1]
I [C]went
to see [F]the preacher
[G]To teach me how to [C]pray
He [F]looked at me and [C]smiled
Then the [G]preacher turned away
He said if you [C]want [F]to tell him something
You ain't [G]gotta fold your [C]hands
Say it with your [F]heart
Your soul and be[C]lieve it
And I'd [G]say [C]amen

[Verse 2]
Bang [C]a drum [F]for the sinners
Bang [G]a drum for the sin[C]s

Or as [G]soft as you [C]need

[Verse 3]
I called upon [F]my brother just [G]the
Other [C]day, he said: [F]John I'm gonna

Just try[G]ing to make ends [C]meet
I could [F]kick this bad world's [C]ass
If I could [G]just get on my feet

[G]Lost in our youth
Bang [C]a drum [F]bang it loudly
Or as [G]soft as you [C]need
Bang [F]a drum for [C]you brother
[G]And a drum for [C]me[F]
I don't [C]know where all the

[Verse 5]
[G]rivers [C]run
I don't [F]know how [C]far,
I don't [G]know how come

[Verse 6]
[C]No I don't claim to be a wise man
A [G]poet or [C]a saint
I'm just another man who's searching
For [G]a better way
But my [F]heart beats loud as thun[C]der
For the [F]things that I believe
[C]Sometimes I wan[F]na run for cover[C]
Some[G]times I want to scream

[Verse 7]
Bang [C]a drum [F]for tomorrow
Bang [G]a drum for the pas[C]t

Bang [G]a drum for [C]the lies
Bang [F]a drum for the [C]lovers
And the [G]tears they've cried
Bang [C]a drum bang [F]it loudly
[G]Or as soft as you need
