[Verse]
So G#msail aBway through the C#moceans of Epeople
The Briver of C#mblood has dried G#mout
Let's G#mline up the Bsinners and C#msend them to Ehell
There's a Bman in that C#mline you know G#mwell 
[Chorus]
In the silG#mence of the rain
There's a souEnd from his chaBin  
But he kneEw where he'd goB  
When they fouF#nd her 
Oh my lorG#md if you can hear
There's a man Ethat you feaBr
And he's comEing your wayB  
As a gunF#ner
[Verse]
So bG#mring your sBtones and you can jC#mudge him tomEorrow
Lets Bget you a C#mriver of G#mblood
The G#msmile on the Bpeople when they're C#mlooking at Eyou
There's a BDevil in C#mall of them G#mtoo
[Chorus]
In the silG#mence of the rain
There's a souEnd from his chaBin  
But he kneEw where he'd goB  
When they fouF#nd her 
Oh my lorG#md if you can hear
There's a man Ethat you feaBr
And he's comEing your wayB  
As a gunF#ner
[Bridge]
And he Elaughs all the Bway
Cuz he's G#mdying toF#day
Its a Epart of his Bplan, DiF#ane
There's a G#mdead Eman walking aBround you
In the F#city with no unG#mdo
In the Ecity with all of Byou
There's a F#dead G#mman
[Chorus]
In the silG#mence of the rain
There's a souEnd from his chaBin  
But he kneEw where he'd goB  
When they fouF#nd her 
Oh my lorG#md if you can hear
There's a man Ethat you feaBr
And he's comEing your wayB  
As a gunF#ner
In the silG#mence of the rain
There's a souEnd from his chaBin  
But he kneEw where he'd goB  
When they fouF#nd her 
Oh my lorG#md if you can hear
There's a man Ethat you feaBr
And he's comEing your wayB  
As a gunF#ner
In the silG#mence of the rain
There's a souEnd from his chaBin  
But he kneEw where he'd goB  
When they fouF#nd her 
Oh my lorG#md if you can hear
There's a man Ethat you feaBr
And he's comEing your wayB  
As a gunF#ner
In the silG#mence of the rain
There's a souEnd from his chaBin
