Am Meet me by the riverside Later on the day F Dm Gonna watch the hanging of an honest man Am They say he ain't the guilty one But someone has to pay F Dm They will not be pleased before they see him hang Chorus: Am As he cries out Turn and face the crowd F As he cries out Dm No one makes a sound Am As he cries out Before he hits the ground F He cries out Dm Where's your spirit now? F Drown me in the river G String me from the tree Dm Am Won't you free the slave in me? F G Am Oh, oh Leave me when the time is near Leave me be in peace This is not the way you should remember me Have you nothing else to say? Final words of truth Forgive them, father For they know not what they do Chorus: As he cries out Mercy can't be found As he cries out No one makes a sound As he cries out Before he hits the ground He cries out Where's your savior now? Throw me in the ocean Cast me in the sea Won't you free the slave in me? Don't you know, don't you know? Dm C E7 Am Whoa, they're gonna come for you You can run, run on out Dm C E7 Am Oh, they're gonna come for you Dm C E7 Am Until you bleed, oh Dm C E7 Am Until you bleed, oh F Dark days are coming G Am Dark days so you should take shelter D You should take shelter F Dark days are coming G Dm Dark days are here Is your conscience clear?
