Go and tell that long tongue liar,

Go and tell that midnight rider,

[Verse 1]

     Am
Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news.
Dsus2                      Am
My heads been wet with the midnight dew.
Am
I've been down on bended knee,
Dsus2                  Am
talkin' to the man from Galilee.
    Am
He spoke to me in a voice so sweet,
Dsus2                            Am
I thought I heard the shuffle of angels’ feet.
   Am
He called my name and my heart stood still,
Dsus2*
When He said "John go do my will"...


[2nd Chorus]

Sooner or later, God'll cut you down.


[Verse 2]

          Am
You may throw your rock, hide your hand,
Dsus2                           Am
workin' in the dark against your fellow man.
    Am
But as sure as God made black and white,
Dsus2                            Am
What's done in the dark, will be brought to the light.

You can run on for a long time,
Dsus2            Am
Run on for a long time,
Am
Run on for a long time,
C          Dsus2         Em       Am
Sooner or later, God'll cut you down.
C          Dsus2         Em       Am
Sooner or later, God'll cut you down.
