Run On Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[F]Well...
You may run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Let me tell you God Almighty
gonna [C]cut [F]you down
Go and tail that long tongue liar
Go and tail that midnight rider
Tell the gambler, the reveler, the beggar
Tell them God Almighty gonna
[C]cut [F]them down
Thanks God Almighty
let me tell you the news
My head's been right with
the midnight dean
[Dm]Com [F]ing down on my bended knees
Talking to my man from Galilee
Well, my God spoke and He spoke so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of angel feet
He put one hand upon my head
Great God Almighty,
let me tell you what He said
Go and tell that long -tongued liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the gambler, rambler, backbiter
Tell the God Almighty
gonna [C]cut [F]them down
Run home for a long [C]time
[F]You run on for a long time
You may run on for a long [C]time
Let me [F]tell you,
God Almighty's gonna [C]cut [F]you down
You may throw your rock
and hide your hand
Working in the dark
against your fellow man
Sure as God made the day and the night
What you do in the dark
will be brought to the light
You may run and hide, slip and slide
Trying to take them off
from your neighbor's hide
[C]Sure [F]as God made the
rich and the poor
He's gonna reap just what you sow
You may run on for a long time
Run long for a long [C]time,[F]
run long for a long time
But let me tell you,
God Almighty gonna [C]cut [F]you down
Go and tell that long -tongued liar,
go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the gambler, the rambler, the backbiter
Tell them God Almighty
gonna [C]cut [F]them down
Some people go to church
just to sit in the fire
Trying to make a date
with the neighbor's wife
But brother, let me tell you,
[C]as soon [F]as you're born
[C]You[F] better leave that
woman alone
Because one of these days,
mark my words
You think that brother's going to work
And he'll sneak up and
knock on that door
That's all, brother, you'll knock no more
You may run along for a long time
Run along for a long time
You may run along for a long time
Let me tell you,
God Almighty gonna [C]cut [F]you down
Go on till that long -tongued liar,
where, where
Go on till that midnight rider, where, where
Tell the gambler, the rambler,
the backbiter
Tell him, God Almighty
gonna [C]cut [F]them [F]down you
