Misc Unsigned Bands – Born Again - You Cant Get Blood From A Turnip (Guitar)

          C
Well, the first man and woman were Adam and Eve;

         F               C
Cain and Abel were their kids.

                                C
Cain wasn't Able's keeper; Abel never raised cain,

        D7            G
But his mom and daddy did.

     C
Soon Cain became a tiller of the ground,

      F                         C
And a shepherd of the sheep was Abel.

     F                  C          Am
And Abel, he managed to please the Lord,

    F         G      C
But Cain just wasn't able.

     C
Now Abel brought a sacrifice to the Lord,

        F                   C
Offered up a sweet-smellin' savor;

                                C
Searched 'til he found the best lamb he had;

       D7                      G
That's why the Lord showed him favor.

C
Cain from his garden brought vegetables

      F                       C
As he watched Abel's offering burn up.

    F                C          Am
Without a doubt, Ol' Cain found out

    F         G            C
You can't get blood from a turnip!

    F                                                     C
You can't get blood from a turnip, no matter how hard you try;

       F                  C                D7                G
'Cause if you could, then Jesus sure would not have bled and died!

   C                                 F                   C
So if you ever get salvation, you'll find you just can't earn it,

    F                    C        Am
And if you're able, take Cain's advice,

     F         G            C
"You can't get blood from a turnip!"

        C
Well, I hope you see salvation's free,

            F               C
And there's just one way to get it.

                             C
It's the blood-bought way of Calvary,

       D7            G
And it took Jesus to get it.

        C
Oh, you just can't earn your way to Heaven,

F                C
And if you don't learn it,

       F                      C          Am
You'll find soon after you've bought the farm

    F         G            C
You can't get blood from a turnip!

    F                                                     C
You can't get blood from a turnip, no matter how hard you try;

       F                  C                D7                G
'Cause if you could, then Jesus sure would not have bled and died!

   C                                 F                   C
So if you ever get salvation, you'll find you just can't earn it,

    F                    C        Am
And if you're able, take Cain's advice,

     F         G            C
"You can't get blood from a turnip!"
