[Verse 1]
I [C]want to see [F]the preacher,
to [G]teach me how to pray
[C]He looked [F]at me and [C]smiled
then that [G]preacher turned away
He said, if you [C]want to
[F]tell them something
You ain't [G]gotta fold your hands
[C]Say it with your hea[F]rt,
your soul and be[C]lieve it
And I [G]say, man
[C]Bang a drum for[F] the sinners
Bang a [G]drum for the sin[C]s
Bang [F]a drum for [C]the losers
And [G]those who win
Bang [C]a drum, [F]bang it loudly
Or a [G]song that you need
[C]Bang a d[F]rum for you[C]rself, son
And a [G]drum for [C]me
[F]Oh, [C]oh, oh, oh, [G]oh, oh, oh
[C]Let me hear say [F]yeah, yeah
Halle[C]lujah, [G]amen[C]
I called upon [F]my brother
Just the [G]other day
[C]He said, Joh[F]n, I'm gonna die
[C]If I don[G]'t start to live again
I work each [C]day and night like [F]clockwork
Just try[G]ing to make ends [C]meet
I could [F]kick this bad world's
[C]If I could jus[G]t get on my feet
I bang a [C]drum for the dy[F]ing
Bang [G]a drum for the truth
[C]Bang a dru[F]m for the inn[C]ocents
[G]Lost in our youth
Bangin' [C]low, [F]bangin' loudly
Or as [G]soft as you need
[C]Bang a d[F]rum for your brother
[C]And a dru[G]m for me[C]
[F]I don't k[C]now where all the r[G]ivers r[C]un
I don't [F]know how far
[C]I don't kno[G]w how far
Without [Am]words [F]I believe
And each [C]step that [G]I take
Came with [Am]the ground,
[F]now I'm all alone
[G]No more to keep my [Am]love[G][F][C][Am]
[G][F][C][Am][G][F][C]
[Am][G][F][C]
I don't claim to be a wise man,
[G]a poet or a [C]saint
Just another man
who's searching for [G]a better way
Put my [F]heart beat loud as thun[C]der
For the [F]things that I believe
[C]Sometimes I [F]wanna run
for cov[C]er
Sometimes [G]I wanna scream
Bang [C]a drum [F]for tomorrow
Bang [G]a drum for the pas[C]t
Bangin' [F]drum for the [C]heroes
that [G]won't come back
Bangin' [C]drum for the prom[F]ised
Bangin' [G]drum for the lies
[C]Bangin' dru[F]m for the lov[C]ers
and the [G]tears they've cried
Bangin' [C]drum, bangin' [F]loud, yeah
For as [G]long as you need
[C]For as long as my hea[F]rt keeps on ban[C]gin'
I got [G]a reason, I got reason
To [F]me[C]
