[Verse]
AmAll night I've wrestled Jacob's angels
And prayed with Matthew, Luke and John
Struggling to find the words
To face the task that comes upon the Gblood red dawn
AmI've buried men before their time
Of alcohol and blackened lung
But how to bury seven of these
Appalachian miner's sons, who Gstormed the beaches
Wave on wave and sailed home to these rocky graves
And fAmamily plots that bared their names
[Chorus]
CTomorrow GI'll walk up, sDmeven Amhillsides
CTremble bGefore my flock on sDmeven hiAmllsides
FSeven sGorrows, seven sAmons, seven mGothers and everyFone
Will turn to me for the word of God what does this mean
And there I'll sGtand good book in hand
A shepherd to these precious lFambs
What will I Dmsay, What will I Gsay, What can I Amsay
[Verse]
AmTo tell the truth I've never thought 
Much about the will of God before
Called to preach at seventeen I was in love
With fiery words and Gnot much more
AmThe time has come to keep the faith
For others shattered by their loss
Remind them of the loving God whose son like theirs
Paid the cost to Gsave a sad and wicked world
Through sacrifice our love is heard
And Ampray that I believe those words
[Chorus]
CTomorrow GI'll walk up, sDmeven Amhillsides
CTremble bGefore my flock on sDmeven hiAmllsides
FSeven sGorrows, seven sAmons, seven mGothers and everyFone
Will turn to me for the word of God what does this mean
And there I'll sGtand good book in hand
A shepherd to these precious lFambs
What will I Dmsay, What will I Gsay, What can I Amsay

[Verse]

All night I've wrestled Jacob's angels

And prayed with Matthew, Luke and John

Struggling to find the words

To face the task that comes upon the blood red dawn

I've buried men before their time

Of alcohol and blackened lung

But how to bury seven of these

Appalachian miner's sons, who stormed the beaches

Wave on wave and sailed home to these rocky graves

And family plots that bared their names

[Chorus]

C G Dm Am

Tomorrow I'll walk up, seven hillsides

C G Dm Am

Tremble before my flock on seven hillsides

F G Am G F

Seven sorrows, seven sons, seven mothers and everyone

Will turn to me for the word of God what does this mean

And there I'll stand good book in hand

A shepherd to these precious lambs

Dm G Am

What will I say, What will I say, What can I say

[Verse]

To tell the truth I've never thought

Much about the will of God before

Called to preach at seventeen I was in love

With fiery words and not much more

The time has come to keep the faith

For others shattered by their loss

Remind them of the loving God whose son like theirs

Paid the cost to save a sad and wicked world

Through sacrifice our love is heard

And pray that I believe those words

[Chorus]

C G Dm Am

Tomorrow I'll walk up, seven hillsides

C G Dm Am

Tremble before my flock on seven hillsides

F G Am G F

Seven sorrows, seven sons, seven mothers and everyone

Will turn to me for the word of God what does this mean

And there I'll stand good book in hand

A shepherd to these precious lambs

Dm G Am

What will I say, What will I say, What can I say
