Been Down Too Long Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
You know most [G]times I can't sleep at night
I just drive the highway
up and down
Sometimes I can't even bite [A]at all
Sometimes [Em]I bite off more
than I can chew
Sometimes I [G]just sit by the phone
at [A]night in vain
[Em]Waiting for the telephone to ring
You know I've been up on the hill,
hunkered down
[A]I've been out in the grave[Em]yard
I watched them put my best
friend in the [G]ground
Then I went [A]an d I washed
my feet in the [Em]blood
My mind is overloaded, friends
[G]Sometimes I don't [A]know if
I can overcome
[Em]But I gotta be strong
I'm gonna tell [A]you all about it right now
[D]I hope y[A]ou listen, f[Em]riends, right now!
Well, all I [G]want in [Em]this creation
[G]A goo[Em]d lovin' wom[G]an
and [Em]a long vacation
Been comin' up [G]so [Em]strong
I've been down too long
I've been comin' up [G]so [Em]strong
I've been down too long
I'm gonna spend my [G]life in
[Em]Tegastan
Give my lovin' friends a hand
Break down every rock I can
Till I make it back to the promised land
[G]I've been [Em]comin' up [G]so [Em]strong
I've been down too long,
I've been comin' up [G]so [Em]strong
[G]I've [Em]been down too long,
there ain't no [C]mountain too high
Or no valley too wide, com[Am]in' up,
steppin' right over to the other side
Can I get an amen?
[Em]Amen!
Can I [A]get an amen?
[Em]Amen!
Can I get an amen?
Amen!
Can I get an amen?
Amen!
Hey, look out there, we better step aside
[G]You[Em] ain't big eno[G]ugh
to inter[Em]rupt my stride
And all you [G]buried of [Em]what might come
Is follow me to the holy throne
Where we all re[G]joice and [Em]live as one
[G]Ste[Em]p right up and get you some
I've been coming up [G]so [Em]strong
I've been down too long
I've been coming up so strong
I've been down too long
When a [C]strong wind blows, baby,
I'm gonna have no fear
Just like [G]that [Am]old brick house,
I'm gonna stay right here
We shall not be moved, [Em]come on
Can I get an amen?
Amen
Can I [Am]get an [Em]amen?
Amen
Can [Am]I get an amen?
[Em]Amen
Can I get an amen?
Amen
Do you want salvation,
do want to be free from tribulation
Do you need a friend, brother come on in
Sit down my friend, stand up again
[G]You [Em]have been changed,
you're not alone
Well it's a long, road, it's a long, road
But it's the very way
Brothers and sisters, children of sinners
Can you help me pray?
Can you help me pray right now?
Can I [G]get [Em]an amen?
Can I get an amen?
Can I get an amen?
Can I [Am]get an amen?
[Em]Hey man
Well all I want is this creation
A good loving woman and a long vacation
[G]I've been [Em]com ing up s[G]o strong
[Em]I've been down too long
I've been coming up so strong
I've been down too long
There ain't no [C]mountain too high
No valley too wide
Come [Am]on step right over to her
Oh, besides, can I get [Em]an amen?
Can I [Am]get an [Em]amen?
Can I [Am]get an amen?
Can I [Em]get an amen?
Amen
