[Verse 1]
Am
Well there's a pain in my side

                G
But I keep traveling on

        Dm                      Am
Bring peace to this troubled land
It's dark out here
                G
I can't read those signs

        Dm                      Am
Bring peace to the troubled land

F                       Am
Hurricane on the horizon

F                       C       G
Judgment getting closer all the time

Dm                     Am
I can't find tomorrow

        G                       Am
Bring peace to this troubled land
[Verse 2]
Am
Well there's two men a walking

                G
Down the same dirty road

        Dm                      Am
Bring peace to this troubled land
They stand shoulder to shoulder
                G
Carrying the same heavy load

        Dm                      Am
Bring peace to this troubled land

F                               Am
One man's eyes are full of sorrow

F                               C        G
The other man's belly full of unbearable pain

Dm                      Am
They keep getting closer

        G                       Am
Bring peace to this troubled land
[Verse 3]
Am
I've got many screaming children

                G
Ten million rows to hoe

        Dm                      Am
Bring peace to this troubled land
Deader than an hammer
                G
But I can't let go

        Dm                      Am
Bring peace to this troubled land

F                               Am
The eyes of heaven are upon you

F                       C       G
But so is the soul from down below

Dm                              Am
They'll cut off your fingers

          G                     Am
To bring peace to this troubled land

[Verse 4]
Am
Well you can stand up and holler

        G
You can lay down and die

        Dm                      Am
Bring peace to this troubled land
We can turn up our collars
                G
And never even try

        Dm                      Am
To bring peace to this troubled land

F                               Am
Beware of those who want to harm you

F                       C       G
And drag you down to a lower game

Dm                              Am
Just know the truth is coming

                G               Am
To bring peace to this troubled land
[Outro]
Am
I got a pain in my side
But I keep traveling on...
