The Bankrobbers Lament

Am


[Verse 1]
Am                    C
  Found a nail in the road today
      F                   D
And I thought about Jesus, ‘bout 
Jesus
Am                 C
  Picked it up and put it away
      F                   D
And I thought about Jesus, ‘bout 
Jesus
F             D
  It would be such a shame
   F                 D            
To catch a flat tire out here in 
   E7
the rain


[Verse 2]
Am                  C
  Walked along just singing a song
      F                D
And I sang about Jesus, ‘bout Jesus
Am                   C
  Felt the syllables roll off my 
tongue
     F                D
As I sang about Jesus, ‘bout Jesus
F            D
  Temporarily trouble free
F                     D           
  Even the birds were singing with
 E7
 me


[Verse 3]
Am                    C
  Got in a van with a handful of men
      F                   D
And I thought about Jesus, ‘bout 
Jesus
Am                      C
  Tried to focus on the matter at 
hand
      F                   D
But I thought about Jesus, ‘bout 
Jesus
F                  D
  Put on the mask, pull out the gun

F                     D          
  Gimme the money and I won’t 
     E7
hurt no one


[Chorus]
F                      C
I’ve been working on a building
         E7                Am
Though I know it ain’t yet right
F                      C
I’ll keep working on a building
      E7               Am
Every day    and every night


[Interlude]
 Am


[Verse 4]
Am                 C
  I saw fire and I heard something 
pop
F                     D
Thought I heard Jesus, heard Jesus
Am                C
  Realized it was me that was shot
  F                     D
I thought I heard Jesus, heard Jesus
F                     D
Blood flowing and the hole so wide
F                          D
  Made me think about the day that 
He died


[Verse 5]
Am                   C
  Held the nail as I fell to the 
floor
  F                   D
I thought about Jesus, ‘bout Jesus
Am                    C
  Drew a cross in the puddle of 
blood
      F                   D
And I thought about Jesus, ‘bout 
Jesus
F                  D
  This job was too big for one man
F                       D    
Wish I would’ve lent my Jesus a 
          E7
better hand


[Chorus]
F                      C
I’ve been working on a building
         E7                Am
Though I know it ain’t yet right
F                      C
I’ll keep working on a building
      E7               Am
Every day    and every night


[Interlude]
Am


[Verse 6]
Am                            C
  It’s all going black, it’s all 
turning red
    F               D
But I can see Jesus, see Jesus
Am                 C
  Bending over me, kissing my head
F               D
I can see Jesus, see Jesus


[Otro]
Am  C   F             E7
        I can see Jesus
Am         C      F             E7
I can see Jesus   I can see Jesus
Am         C      F             E7
I can see Jesus   I can see Jesus
Am         C      F             E7
I can see Jesus   I can see Jesus
Am  C  F  E7
Am  C  F  E7
