[Intro]
C F C F G C F
[Verse 1]
I Cremember the day of the GTennessee Fflood
The Csound of the scream and the Gsight of the Fblood
My Cson he saw as the Ganimal died
In the Fjaws of the dog as the Griver ran by
I said, Am"Come Gback Fsoon."
[Instrumental]
C F C F G C F
[Verse 2]
It's Cthere on the page of the Gbook that I Fread
The Cboy grew up and the Gyearling was Fdead
He Cstood at the gate with the Gangel on guard
And Fwept for the death of his Glittle boy heart
I say, "AmCome Gback Fsoon.”
AmCome Gback FsoonAm  G  F  
[Chorus]
We Gwake in the night in the Amwomb of the Fworld
We Ambeat our Gfists on the Fdoor
We Gcannot breathe in this Amsea that Fswirls
So we Amgroan in Gthis great Fdarkness
For deliveranceC  F  G  
CDeliverFance, O LGord
[Instrumental]
C F C F G C F
[Verse 3]
I Csit on the bench at the Gbend in the Ftrail
And I can Cfeel in the fall the Gfinal Fexhale
The Ctrees of the field all Gwring their hands
And the Fleaves go by like a Gfuneral band
I say, "AmCome Gback Fsoon.”

[Chorus]
We Gwake in the night in the Amwomb of the Fworld

Are we Amalone in Gthis great Fdarkness?
[Outro]
G Am F Am G F  G Am F
[Verse 4]
If Cnature's red in Gtooth and in Fclaw
Then it Cseems to me that Gshe's an Foutlaw
C'Cause every death is a Gquestion mark
At the Fend of the book of a Gbeating heart
And the Amanswer is scrawled in the Gsilent dark
On the Fdome of the sky in a Gbillion stars
But we Amcannot read these Gangel tongues
And we Fcannot stare at the Gburning sun
And we Amcannot breathe with these Gbroken lungs
So we Fkick in the womb and we Gbeg to be born
AmDelFivGerance!
AmDelFivGerance, O Lord!
AmDelFivGerance!
[Outro]
