Bye And Bye Gonna See The King

	  		
verse 1 
E 
When the cold bites at your fingers 
E 
And the damp comes through your shoes 
A 
And you're far too proud to shout out loud 
                                   E 
'Sides your lips are cracked and  blue 
E 
Take cold comfort in the knowledge 
E 
That you did what you had to do 
C           B7       E 
Nobody to blame but you 

verse 2 
E 
You say "thank you, Lord, for giving me this day" 
A                                              E 
You say "sorry, friend, I'll live myself this day" 
                                            C#m 
If I lie down peaceful would you spirit me away 
       C              B7 
Only you can give it to me 
                      E 
Only you can make me pay 

verse 3 
E 
When the sun beats on your redneck 
E 
And your back feels on to break 
         A 
When you work from dawn to darkness 
                        E 
Long tying the summer hay 
E 
Take comfort in the know-how 
E 
That it has to be this way 
C                   B7 
There's no point in looking forward, 
B7                         E 
You have your breath these days 

verse 4 
E 
You say "thank you, Lord, for what I have to do" 
          A                                E 
You say "sorry, Sir, for thinking without you" 
E 
If I lie down peaceful 
E                        C#m 
Would you do what you can do 
      C               B7 
Only you can give it to me 
                 E 
And you got my IOU 

 
E 
And I say "bye and bye I'm gonna see the King" 
        A                             E 
I say "bye and bye I'm gonna see the King" 
E                               C#m 
"Bye and bye I'm gonna see the King" 
C               B7                       E 
Ain't no use being afraid I'm a child of God (Bye and bye) 


Verse 5 
E 
When the sun beats on your redneck 
E 
And your back feels on to break 
         A 
When you work from dawn to darkness 
                        E 
Long tying the summer hay 
E 
Take cold comfort in the know-how 
E 
That it has to be this way 
C       B7 
No one's obligated for it 
B7 
And my god you have your breath these days

You say "thank you, Lord, for what I have to do" 
         A                                 E 
You say "sorry, Sir, for thinking without you" 
E 
If I lie down peaceful 
                           C#m 
Would you see what you can do? 
C                     B7 
Only you can take it to me 
B7                      E 
Only you can take it through 


E 
I say "bye and bye I'm gonna see the King" 
        A                               E 
You say "bye and bye I am gonna see the King" 
E                                C#m 
"Bye and bye, I'm gonna see the King"

Ain't no use in being afraid 
                        E 
'Cause I'm a child of God
