[Verse 1]
Am Meet me by the riverside Am Later on the day F Dm Gonna watch the hanging of an honest man Am They say he ain't the guilty one Am But someone has to pay F Dm They will not be pleased before they see him hang
[Chorus 1]
Am As he cries out Am Turn and face the crowd F As he cries out Dm No one makes a sound Am As he cries out Am Before he hits the ground F He cries out Dm Where's your spirit now? F Drown me in the river G String me from the tree Dm Am Won't you free the slave in me?
[Post-Chorus]
F G Am Oh, oh
[Verse 2]
Am Leave me when the time is near Am Leave me be in peace F Dm This is not the way you should remember me Am Have you nothing else to say? Am Final words of truth F Forgive them, father Dm For they know not what they do
[Chorus 2]
Am As he cries out Am Mercy can't be found F As he cries out Dm No one makes a sound Am As he cries out Am Before he hits the ground F He cries out Dm Where is your savior now? F Throw me in the ocean G Cast me in the sea Dm Am Won't you free the slave in me?
[Bridge]
Don't you know, don't you know?
Dm C E7 Am Whoa, they're gonna come for you
You can run, run on out
Dm C E7 Am Oh, they're gonna come for you Dm C E7 Am Until you bleed, oh Dm C E7 Am Until you bleed, oh F Dark days are coming G Am Dark days so you should take shelter D You should take shelter F Dark days are coming G Dm Dark days are here
[Outro]
Am Is your conscience clear? F Have you seen the brave man G Hanging from a tree? Dm Say, who will be the first to see?
