[Verse 1]
Am
Well there's a pain in my side
                G
But I keep traveling on
        Dm                      Am
Bring peace to this troubled land

It's dark out here
                G
I can't read those signs
        Dm                      Am
Bring peace to the troubled land
F                       Am
Hurricane on the horizon
F                       C       G
Judgment getting closer all the time
Dm                     Am
I can't find tomorrow
        G                       Am
Bring peace to this troubled land


[Verse 2]
Am
Well there's two men a walking
                G
Down the same dirty road
        Dm                      Am
Bring peace to this troubled land

They stand shoulder to shoulder
                G
Carrying the same heavy load
        Dm                      Am
Bring peace to this troubled land
F                               Am
One man's eyes are full of sorrow
F                               C        G
The other man's belly full of unbearable pain
Dm                      Am
They keep getting closer
        G                       Am
Bring peace to this troubled land


[Verse 3]
Am
I've got many screaming children
                G
Ten million rows to hoe
        Dm                      Am
Bring peace to this troubled land

Deader than an hammer
                G
But I can't let go
        Dm                      Am
Bring peace to this troubled land
F                               Am
The eyes of heaven are upon you
F                       C       G
But so is the soul from down below

Dm                              Am
They'll cut off your fingers
          G                     Am
To bring peace to this troubled land

[Verse 4]
Am
Well you can stand up and holler
        G
You can lay down and die
        Dm                      Am
Bring peace to this troubled land

We can turn up our collars
                G
And never even try
        Dm                      Am
To bring peace to this troubled land
F                               Am
Beware of those who want to harm you
F                       C       G
And drag you down to a lower game
Dm                              Am
Just know the truth is coming
                G               Am
To bring peace to this troubled land


[Outro]
Am
I got a pain in my side
But I keep traveling on...
