Key of F#. Instead just play E capo 2.
[Verse 1]
ESteven was a deacon in Jerusalem
AThey dragged him out those city gates to A7try and quiet Ehim
EWhen Steven preached those Pharisees started throwing stones
ABefore he died he raised his eyes and saw A7Jesus on the throne
He said, You can Ebury the workmen but the work will go on
And you can Asilence the voices but you A7can't stop the sEong
[Chorus]
When the A7SpirEit's A7moviEng, His Awill will be dEone
You can bAury the workmen but the A7work will go Eon
[Verse 2]
EJames was sent to Heaven at the edge of Herod's sword
And PAeter he was crucified like hA7is beloved LEord
EThe Roman Colosseum, the lions and the fires
The gaAtes of hell did not prevail, they A7fanned those flames higher
Cause you can Ebury the workmen but the work will go on
And you can Asilence the voices but you A7can't stop the sEong
[Chorus]
When the A7SpirEit's A7moviEng, His Awill will be dEone
And you can bAury the workmen but the A7work will go Eon
[Verse 3]
EAnd then they lowered Jesus, they laid Him in a grave
They thAought that it was over, that His A7name would fade awEay
But EJesus wasn't listening, no, He rose to life again
Cause AGod is not persuaded by the A7arrogance of mB7en
So you can Ebury the workmen but the work will go on
And you can Asilence the voices but you A7can't stop the sEong
[Chorus]
When the A7SpirEit's A7moviEng, His wAill will be dEone
And you can Abury the workmen but the A7work will go Eon
[Verse 4]
And you can Ebury the workmen but the work will go on
And you can Asilence the voices but you A7can't stop the sEong
[Chorus]
When the A7SpirEit's A7moviEng, His A7will will be dEone
And you can Abury the workmen but the A7work will go Eon
Yeah you can Abury the workmen but the A7work will go Eon

by Unspoken

Lyrics & chords · Original key · Capo on fret 2 (as written in this song)

Key of F#. Instead just play E capo 2.

[Verse 1]

Steven was a deacon in Jerusalem

A A7 E

They dragged him out those city gates to try and quiet him

When Steven preached those Pharisees started throwing stones

A A7

Before he died he raised his eyes and saw Jesus on the throne

He said, You can bury the workmen but the work will go on

A A7 E

And you can silence the voices but you can't stop the song

[Chorus]

A7 E A7 E A E

When the Spirit's moving, His will will be done

A A7 E

You can bury the workmen but the work will go on

[Verse 2]

James was sent to Heaven at the edge of Herod's sword

A A7 E

And Peter he was crucified like his beloved Lord

The Roman Colosseum, the lions and the fires

A A7

The gates of hell did not prevail, they fanned those flames higher

Cause you can bury the workmen but the work will go on

A A7 E

And you can silence the voices but you can't stop the song

[Chorus]

A7 E A7 E A E

When the Spirit's moving, His will will be done

A A7 E

And you can bury the workmen but the work will go on

[Verse 3]

And then they lowered Jesus, they laid Him in a grave

A A7 E

They thought that it was over, that His name would fade away

But Jesus wasn't listening, no, He rose to life again

A A7 B7

Cause God is not persuaded by the arrogance of men

So you can bury the workmen but the work will go on

A A7 E

And you can silence the voices but you can't stop the song

[Chorus]

A7 E A7 E A E

When the Spirit's moving, His will will be done

A A7 E

And you can bury the workmen but the work will go on

[Verse 4]

And you can bury the workmen but the work will go on

A A7 E

And you can silence the voices but you can't stop the song

[Chorus]

A7 E A7 E A7 E

When the Spirit's moving, His will will be done

A A7 E

And you can bury the workmen but the work will go on

A A7 E
