[Em] [Cm] [G] [Cm]
[G] [Cm]
[Em] I can hear [Cm] your cornstalk [G] sigh underneath [Cm] your prairie [G] sky
[Cm] [G] [Cm]
[Em] Southern [Cm] swamps have footsteps [G] filled and [Cm] hound dogs howl at [G] freedom's will
[Cm] [G] [Cm]
[Em] Conscience [Cm] drives us mad [Gm] sometimes
Tell [Cm] our sons if [G] we die, we're gonna die
[Cm]
[Em] So we [Cm] start where we [G] can and hope it [Cm] spreads [G] across the land
[Dm] It's not easy [Em] taking [C] prisoners
[G] [Dm] Harder yet [Em] is to [D] convert [C] them to your [G] cause
John Brown left [Dm] his red [Em] brick engine house bound up [C] in chains
[G] [D] Leaving [G] five men [Cm] dead, he [Em] said the [Cm] good Lord [G] was to blame
[Em] John Brown, [Cm] you're twenty [G] sons, why don't you [Cm] tell me what [G] you've done
[A] You [G] [Em]
don't [Cm] think you're men no more, [G] you're God's machines [Cm] in holy [G] wars
[Cm] [G] [Cm]
[E] And by some [Cm] strange irony, [G] [Cm] the night you shot [G] dead Harmony
[Cm] [G] [Cm]
[Em] The [Cm] angry mob came in to [G] play, the Lord moves [Cm] in mysterious [G] ways
[Dm] It's not easy [Em] taking [C] prisoners
[G] [Dm] Harder yet [Em] is to [D] convert [C] them to your [G] cause
John Brown [Dm] left his red brick [Em] engine [D] house bound [C] up in chains
[G] Leaving five men [Cm] dead, he [Em] said the [Cm] good Lord [G] was to blame
I'm [Am] [C] a reasonable [Fm] [C] man, yeah I [Am] am
And [C] I [Fm] understand the problem

You bring it to [Bb] [C] tomorrow, [Bb]
