Chords for Mandolin Orange - Gospel Shoes

_ So when we were here [Fm] about a year ago, we were on our album release tour for our [F] record Blindfather.
We still have quite a bunch of those tunes tonight.
We're working on some new stuff, [E] but it's not ready for you yet.
No!
_ _ [C] _ _ _
Try us!
[D] Try us!
_ _ Hey guys, step into that [Bb] one.
_ [A] That [F] was a bit too loud.
_ _ Well, [Ab] let's play the one we were going to play.
Okay, they won't [Eb] make a choice after that.
_ _ _ _ This is _ [Bb] kind of a gospel tune, kind of a political [F] tune, because unfortunately the two [G] mix sometimes.
[C] They mix a lot in the States.
[F] _ _ It was not a good album. _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [D] _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ Some set their [Am] heads to swimming, _ [F] nothing to lose
[D] They drift [Bb] about through the [C] time, slippers [F] and their boots
Some walk the [Am] straight and narrow, only [F] passing through
Trading [Bb] this world over, [D] for their [F] gospel shoes
[Am] _ [Bb] Well, _
[F] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ gospel [Am] shoes are laced with [F] shackles and [G] chains
Fitted [Bb] for the poor, [D] the robbers [F] of the race
Now every [Am] hand is loaded, [Bb] the shape [F] of a gun
[Dm] That target's [Bb] ever changed, [C] but the war [F] rages on
_ _ _ [Dm] _
So the armies [F] march on, _ for the martyr _ [C] and the son
_ [Dm] _
And since the world's [F] screaming color, _ _ it's bleaching [C] the blood
_ [F] _ _
[Am] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Gm] _ _
[Bb] _ _ [D] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Well, freedom was [Am] a simple word, [Bb] so to remember it's [F] truth
[Gm] A long [Bb] time ago, [D] it meant the right [F] things
_ Do you [Am] like [Bb] battlefields, without it's [F] stupid excuse
[Gm] Dressed in [Bb] violent politics, with mail and [F] gospel shoes
_ [Dm] So the armies [F] march on, for the martyr _ _ [C] and the son
And [Dm] _
since the world's [F] screaming color, _ _ _ it's [C] bleaching the blood
_ [Bb] _
Well, our mother, [C] she is Christ, _ [F] _
[C] her broken [Bb] heart is blood _
She swears [C] to this, she dies, _ [F] _
to love the [Bb] slave who broke her will _ _
She's so weary [C] of the life, _ _ [Bb] _
she's tired of [C] all this life
In the name of [F] God _
[Am] _ _ [D] _ _ [F] _ _ [D] _ _
[Bb] _ _ [D] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [D] _ _
[Bb] _ _ [Cm] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Am] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
