Note: whenever you see a D, it really means a random pattern of the following chords:
D, Dsus2, Dsus4, D/E, D/B, and D/F#, and the "sus" chords with those base notes.
Basically, it's a free-for-all (or at least, I play it like that) so have fun with it.
Capo I
(There's an annoying string intro)
Intro (once you get to the guitar): D G A D
D
Well the sun beats down and the sand gets hot
D
Where I break my back haulin in this rock
G D
For a man-made God I really don't believe in
D
But I shoulder the rope and I bear the strain
D
Wipe the salt from my eyes and ignore the pain
G D
Though I know when I fall another will just come in
CHORUS:
G-A D
And when I feel my body goin down
G A-C D
And there's nothing I can do
G C A C Dsus2 - Dsus4
I know if I keep my faith in you
D
I'm gonna make it through
I'm a prisoner here in this hall of kings
I'm gold, I'm jewels, I'm a diamond ring
To be given as a token of God's affection
The law says I'm their property
But my heart and my soul belong to me
They can hold me but I'll never be in their possession
CHORUS
C D
Through the doubt (through the doubt)
C D
Give me strenght to lead them out (lead them out)
C G
Give them faith to follow me
A C D
Guide us through the sea, oh
Help me God I'm a common man
With the lives of thousands in my hands
As I carry them into the land You promised
CHORUS
I know if I keep my faith in you
We're gonna make it through
