[F] went to see the [Bb] preacher [F] to teach me how to pray.
[Bb] He looked at me [F] and [C] smiled, then that preacher turned away.
[F] Said, if you [Bb] want to tell him something, [C] you ain't [F] got to fold your hands.
Say [Bb] it with your heart, your [F] soul, and believe it.
[C] And I'll say [F] amen.
Bang a drum for [Bb] the sinners.

_ _ _ _ _ _ I called upon [Bb] my brother [F] just the other day.
He [Bb] said, John, I'm [F] going to die if [C] I don't start to [F] live again.
Oh, each day and night like clockwork, just chime and ring against me.
Oh, I could kick this bad world's ass if [C] I just get on my feet.
[F] Bang a drum [Bb] for the dying.

[F] I don't know [C] where all the [F] rivers run.
[Bb] I don't know [F] how far.
[C] I don't know how to come.
[Dm] But I'm going to [Bb] die believing [F] with each step [C] that I take.
Ain't [Dm] worth the ground [Bb] that I walk if [C] we don't walk it our own [Dm] way.

_ _ _ _ don't claim to be a wise man, a poet or a saint,
just another man who's searching [Cm] for a better way.
[Bb] But my [F] heart beats loud as thunder for the things that I believe.
Sometimes I want to run for cover.
[C] Sometimes I want to scream.
Bang a [F] drum [Bb] for the model.

[Bb] Bang a drum [F] for the lovers [C] and the tears they cry.
Bang [F] a drum, [Bb] bang it loudly [C] or as soft [F] as you need.
But as long as [Bb] my heart [F] keeps on banging,
[C] I got a reason _ _ to _ [F] _ believe. _ _ _ _
