Key:
Am All night I've wrestled Jacob's angels And prayed with Matthew, Luke and John Struggling to find the words To face the task that comes upon theG blood red dawnAm I've buried men before their time Of alcohol and blackened lung But how to bury seven of these Appalachian miner's sons, whoG stormed the beaches Wave on wave and sailed home to these rocky gravesAm And family plots that bared their names [Chorus]C G Tomorrow I'll walk up, sevenDm Am hillsidesC G Dm Tremble before my flock on sevenAm hillsidesContinues after the adF G Am Seven sorrows, seven sons, sevenG F mothers and everyone Will turn to me for the word of God what does this meanG And there I'll stand good book in handF A shepherd to these precious lambsDm G What will I say, What will I say,Am What can I say [Verse]Am To tell the truth I've never thought Much about the will of God before Called to preach at seventeen I was in loveG With fiery words and not much moreAm The time has come to keep the faith For others shattered by their loss Remind them of the loving God whose son like theirsG Paid the cost to save a sad and wicked world Through sacrifice our love is heardAm And pray that I believe those words [Chorus]C G Tomorrow I'll walk up, sevenDm Am hillsidesC G Dm Tremble before my flock on sevenAm hillsidesF G Am Seven sorrows, seven sons, sevenG F mothers and everyone Will turn to me for the word of God what does this meanG And there I'll stand good book in handF A shepherd to these precious lambsDm G What will I say, What will I say,Am What can I say
