Verse: 1
Em
Every man will see the day
D Em
That his hopes are dashed a-way
No word can bring him peace

Some will ramble far from home

Work their fingers to the bone
Some will numb their hearts with wine
D Em
To dis-tract their troubled minds
Chorus:
Take me down to Calvary

Take me down, down, down, right on down

Or you're sure to make them double
You will meet your destiny

I will lay my hammer down

Set my knees upon the ground
I will not leave from this place

Until I see a face-to-face
