Eliza Gilkyson – The Great Correction (Guitar)

C                          G
Down here on the corner of ruin and grace

F                        C
I'm growing weary of the human race

F                  C
Hold my lamp up in everyone's face

    G                     
I'm looking for an honest man

C                    G
Everyone tied to the turning wheel

F                        C
Everyone hiding from the things they feel

         F                        C
When the truth's so hard, it just don't seem real

    G                  C
The shadow across this land

C                        G
People 'round here don't know what it means

   F                           C
To suffer at the hands of our American dreams

     F                       C
They turn their backs on the grisly scenes

    G                    
Traced to the privileged sons

     C                   G
They got their god, they got their guns

F                        C
Got their armies and the chosen ones

          F                     C
But we'll all be burning in the same big sun

         G                C      F  C  Dm
When the great correction comes

                          Em                  Dm
Down through the ages, lovers of the mystery

                                          C       Dm
Been saying, "People, let your love light shine"

                  Em                   F
Poets and sages all throughout history

                                         G      F  Em  Dm  
Say the light burns brightest in the darkest times

         C                G
It's the bitter end we've come down to

    F                         C
The eye of the needle that we gotta get through

        F                         C
But the end could be the start of something new

         G                C      
When the great correction comes

                          Em                  Dm
Down through the ages, lovers of the mystery

                                          C         Dm
Been saying, "People, let your love light shine"

                  Em                   F
Poets and sages all throughout history

                                        G       F  Em  G  
Say the light burns brightest in the darkest times

C                G
Down to the wire running out of time

F                      C
Still got hope in this heart of mine

    F                       C
But the future waits on the horizon line

        G                   
For our daughters and our sons

C                  G
I don't know where this train's bound

F                            C
Whole lotta people trying to turn it around

      F                         C
Gonna shout 'til the walls come tumbling down

        G                C      G  F  C  F
And the great correction comes

      C
Don't let me down

         G                C      
When the great correction comes
