[Bbm] [Ebm]
You can [Bb] run on for a long time, [Bb] run on for a long time, run on for a long time, soon
or late you gotta cut you down, soon or late you gotta cut you down.
Go tell that long
tongue liar, go and tell that midnight rider, tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter,
tell him that God's gonna cut him down, [Bbm] tell him that God's gonna cut him [Bb] down.
Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news, my head's been wet with the midnight
dews.
I've been down on bended knee, talking to the man from Galilee.
He spoke to me in
a voice so sweet, I thought I heard the shuffle of angels sweet.
He called my name and my
heart stood still when he said John go do my will.
Go tell that long tongue liar, [Eb] go
and tell that [Bb] midnight rider, tell the rambler, the gambler, the [Bbm] back biter, tell him that
God's gonna cut him down, tell him that God's gonna [Bb] cut him down.
You can run on for a long
time, run on for a long time, run on for a long [Bbm] time, soon or late you gotta cut you
[Db] down, soon [Eb] or late you gotta cut you [Bb] down.
Well he may throw you a rock, hide your hand,
working in the dark against your fellow man, but as sure as God made black and white, what's
done in the dark will be brought to the light.
You can run on for a long time, run on for
a long time, run on for a long [Bbm] time, soon [Bb] or late you gotta cut you down, soon or late
you gotta cut you down.
Go tell that long tongue liar, go and tell that midnight rider,
tell the rambler, the gambler, the [Bbm] back biter, tell him that God's gonna cut you down, tell
him that God's gonna cut you down, tell him [F] that God's gonna [Bb] cut you down.
