[Intro]
Am
[Chorus 1]
Am
You can run on for a long time,
Am
Run on for a long time,
Am
Run on for a long time,
C Dm Em Am
Sooner or later, God'll cut you down.
C Dm Em Am
Sooner or later, God'll cut you down.
[Chorus 2]
Am
Go and tell that long tongue liar,
Am
Go and tell that midnight rider,
Am
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter,
C Dm Em Am
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down.
C Dm Em Am
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down.
[Verse 1]
Am
Well my goodness gracious, let me tell you the news.
Am
My head's been wet with the midnight dew.
Am
I've been down on bended knee,
Am
talkin' to the man from Galilee.
Am
He spoke to me in a voice so sweet,
Am
I thought I heard the shuffle of angels' feet.
Am
He called my name and my heart stood still,
Am
N.C.
When He said "John go do my will"
[Chorus 2]
Am
Go and tell that long tongue liar,
Am
Go and tell that midnight rider,
Am
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter,
C Dm Em Am
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down.
C Dm Em Am
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down.
[Chorus 1]
Am
You can run on for a long time,
Am
Run on for a long time,
Am
Run on for a long time,
C Dm Em Am
Sooner or later, God'll cut you down.
C Dm Em Am
Sooner or later, God'll cut you down.
[Verse 2]
Am
You may throw your rock, hide your hand,
Am
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man.
Am
But as sure as God made black and white,
Am
What's done in the dark, will be brought to the light.
[Chorus 1]
Am
You can run on for a long time,
Am
Run on for a long time,
Am
Run on for a long time,
C Dm Em Am
Sooner or later, God'll cut you down.
C Dm Em Am
Sooner or later, God'll cut you down.
[Chorus 2]
Am
Go and tell that long tongue liar,
Am
Go and tell that midnight rider,
Am
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter,
C Dm Em Am
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down.
C Dm Em Am
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down.
C Dm Em Am
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down.
