SINS OF THE FATHER
**** CAPO 1st FRET ****
Am Am
God said don't give me your tin horn prayers
Am Am
And don't buy roses from the street down there
Dm Dm
Took it all and took the dirt road home
Am Am
Dreaming of Jenny with the light brown hair
E7 Am
Night is falling like a bloody axe
E7 Am
Lies and rumours and the wind at my back
E7 Am
Hand on the wheel, Gravel on the road
E7 E7
Will the pawn shop sell me back what I sold
Am Am E7
I'm gonna take the sins of my Father, I'm gonna take the sins of my Mother
Am E7 Am
I'm gonna take the sins of my brother, Down to the pond
Am Am
Birds cry a warning from a hidden branch
Am Am
Carving out a future with a gun and an axe
Dm Dm
I'm way beyond the gavel and the laws of man
Am Am
Still living in the palm of the grace of your hand
E7 Am
The world's not easy the blind man said
E7 Am
Turns on nothing but money and dread
E7 Am
Dogs been scratching at the door all night
E7 E7
Long necked birds flying out of the moonlight
Am Am E7
I'm gonna take the sins of my Father, I'm gonna take the sins of my Mother
Am E7 Am Am E7 Am
I'm gonna take the sins of my brother, Down to the pond, Down to the pond
Am Am
Smack dab in the middle of a dirty lie
Am Am
The star spangled glitter of his one good eye
Dm Dm
Everybody knows that the game was rigged
Am Am
Justice wears suspenders and a powdered wig
E7 Am
Dark town alleys been hiding you
E7 Am
Long bell tolling is your Waterloo
E7 Am
Oh baby what can you do
E7 E7
Does the light of God blind you, Or lead the way home for you
Am Am E7
I'm gonna take the sins of my Father, I'm gonna take the sins of my Mother
Am E7 Am Am E7 Am
I'm gonna take the sins of my brother, Down to the pond, Down to the pond
INST: AS VERSE
Am Am E7
I'm gonna take the sins of my Father, I'm gonna take the sins of my Mother
Am E7 Am Am E7 Am
I'm gonna take the sins of my brother, Down to the pond, Down to the pond
Am Am
God almighty for righteousness sake
Am Am
Humilation of our fallen state
Dm Dm
Written in the Book of Tubal Cain
Am Am
A long black coat will show no stain
E7 Am
Feel the heat and the burn on your back
E7 Am
The rip and the moan, The stretch of the rack
E7 Am
All my belongings in a flour sack
E7 E7
Will the place I come from take me back
Am Am E7
I'm gonna take the sins of my Father, I'm gonna take the sins of my Mother
Am E7 Am Am E7 Am
I'm gonna take the sins of my brother, Down to the pond, Down to the pond
Am Am
They'll hang me in the morning on a scaffold yea big
Am Am
To dance upon nothing to the Tyburn jig
Dm Dm
Treats you like a puppet when you're under it's spell
Am Am
Oh the heart is Heaven, But the mind is Hell
E7 Am
Jesus of Nazareth told Mike of the weeds
E7 Am
I's born at this time for a reason you see
E7 Am
When I'm dead I'll be dead a long time
E7 E7
But the wines so pleasing and so sublime
Am Am E7
I'm gonna take the sins of my Father, I'm gonna take the sins of my Mother
Am E7 Am Am E7 Am
I'm gonna take the sins of my brother, Down to the pond, Down to the pond
Am Am
Kissed my sweetheart by the chinaball tree
Am Am
Everything I done is between God and me
Dm Dm
Only he will judge how my time was spent
Am Am
Twentynine days of sinning and forty to repent
E7 Am
The horse is steady but the horse is blind
E7 Am
Wicked are the branches on the tree of mankind
E7 Am
The roots grow upward and the branches grow down
E7 E7
It's much too late to throw the dice again I've found
Am Am E7
I'm gonna take the sins of my Father, I'm gonna take the sins of my Mother
Am E7 Am
I'm gonna take the sins of my brother, Down to the pond
Am Am
I'm gonna wash them, I'm gonna wash them
Am Am
I'm gonna wash the sins of my Father
Am E7
I'm gonna wash the sins of my Mother
Am Am
I'm gonna wash the sins of my brother
Am Am Am Am
Till the water runs clear, Till the water runs clear
Am Am Am Am
Till the water runs clear, Till the water runs clear
