[Verse 1]
[D]I ain't cutting my hair
till the good lord comes
I ain't cutting my hair till the good lord comes
I ain't cutting my hair till the
good lord comes
Arrive upon the mountain just to
see what we have done
I ain't cutting my hair,
cutting till the good lord comes

[Verse 2]
I ain't [D]open my eyes till
we [G]all walk [D]free
I ain't open my eyes till
we all walk free
I ain't open my eyes till we [G]all walk free
Till the color of our skin it don't
mean a damn [D]thing
I ain't open my eyes,
open till we [F]all walk [D]free
I ain't pickin' up a paper till
the wild wind blows
I ain't pickin' up a paper
till the wild wind blows
I ain't pickin up a paper till
the wild wind [G]blows
Till we should say what we should say,
till we know what we should know
I ain't [D]pickin up a paper,
pickin till the wild wind blows

[Verse 3]
'Cause it's a [G]coal, it's [D]a coal war
It's a [G]coal, coal, [D]it's a coal war, ah!

[Verse 4]
I ain't [F]cuttin' my hair till the
good Lord comes
[D]Arrive upon the mountain just
to see what we have done
I ain't cuttin' my [F]hair,
cuttin' till the [D]good [F]Lord [D]comes

[Interlude 1]
Till the good Lord comes
[D]

[Verse 5]
'Cause it's a [G]coal, it's a [D]coal war, ah
It's a [G]coal, coal,

[Interlude 2]
coal

[Verse 6]
If we don't [F]walk free with hand [G]in heart,
[D]it's time
If we can[F]not see all we [G]destroy,
we're [D]blind

[Verse 7]
It's [F]not the hand that cuts,
it's [G]the heart we left [D]behind
It's not the hand [F]that cuts,
it's the [G]hatred deep inside
[D]It's not the hand tha[F]t cuts,
it's the [G]hatred deep in[D]side
It's not the [F]hand, not the hand
[G]

[Verse 8]
[Bb]Five dollars and a head [F]to keep
With [Bb]dull black scissors
and some [F]kerosene
[Bb]You burnt the house but you [F]came to bid him [Asus4]well,
[A]oh[D]
[G]What a thing [D]to tell, put [G]poison in [D]the well

[Verse 9]
Just [A]to say
Just [G]to say
Just [A]to say
Just to say
[G]

[Verse 10]
I ain't [D]cuttin' my hair till the
good Lord comes
Ain't cuttin' my hair till the
good Lord comes
I ain't cuttin' my hair till the
good Lord comes
[G]Arrive upon the mountain just
to see what we have done
I ain't [D]cuttin' my hair,
cuttin' till the good [G]Lord [A]comes
Till the good Lord [D]comes
