Run On For A Long Time

Am
You may run for a long time
Am
Run on, for a long time
Am
Run on, for a long time
C                          Am
Let me tell you the god's gonna cut 
you down
C                          Am
Let me tell you the god's gonna cut 
you down

[Verse 1]
Am
My God spoke and he spoke so sweet
Am
I thought I heard the shuffle of 
angel's feet
Am
He put one hand upon my head
Am
Great god almighty let me tell you 
what he said
Am
Go tell that long tongued liar
C
Go tell that midnight rider
Dm
Tell the gambler, rambler, 
back-biter
C                         Am
Tell them the god's gonna cut them 
down
C                         Am
Tell them the god's gonna strike 
them down

[Chorus]

Am
You may run for a long time
Am
Run on, for a long time
Am
Run on, for a long time

[Verse 2]
Am
You may throw your rock and hide 
your hand
Am
Working in the dark against your 
fellow man
Am
As sure as God made the day and the 
night
Am*
What you do in the dark will be 
brought to the light

[Verse 3]
Am
You may run and hide, slip and slide
Am
Trying to make time with your 
neighbor's wife
C
Brother let me tell you as sure as 
you're born
Am*
You better leave that woman alone

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Am
One of these days, you can mark my 
word
Am
You think a man is away at work
Am
And you will knock up on that door
C*
That's all son, you'll knock no more

[Chorus]

You may run for a long time

Run on, for a long time

you down
