[Bb]
[Bbm]
[Ebm] [Bb] You can run on for a long time, run on for a long time, run on for a long time, soon
our lady gonna cut you down, [Db] soon [Eb] our lady [F] gonna [Bb] cut you down.
Go tell that long-tongue liar, go and [Eb] tell that midnight [Bb] rider, tell the rambler, the gambler, the backbiter, tell them that God's [Bbm] gonna cut them down, tell them [Ab] that God's [F] gonna [Bb] cut them down.
Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news, my head's been wet with the midnight dews, I've been down on dented knees, talking to the man from Galilee.
He spoke to me in a voice so sweet, I thought I heard the shuffle of angels, he called my name and my heart stood still.
When he said [Bbm] John go do my [Bb] will, go tell that long-tongue liar, go [Eb] and tell that midnight rider, [Bb] tell the rambler, the gambler, the backbiter, [Bbm] tell them that God's gonna cut them down, tell [Eb] them that [F] God's gonna [Bb] cut them down.
You can run on for a long time, run on for a long time, run on for a long time, [Bbm] soon our lady gonna cut you down, soon [Eb] our lady [Fm] gonna cut [Bb] you down.
Well he may throw you a rock, hide your hand, working in the dark I guess you fell on there, but as sure as God made black and white, what's done in the dark will be brought to the light.
You can run on for a long time, run on for a long time, run on for a [Bbm] long time, soon [Bb] our lady gonna cut you [Bbm] down, [Eb] soon our [F] lady gonna [Bb] cut you down.
Go tell that long-tongue liar, go and tell that midnight rider, tell the rambler, the gambler, the [Bbm] backbiter, tell them that God's gonna cut you down, tell them that God's gonna cut you down, [Ebm] tell them that [Fm] God's gonna [Bb] cut you down.
