[C#] I went to [F#] see the preacher [G#] to teach me [C#] how to pray.
[F#] He looked at [C#] me and smiled [G#] and that preacher turned away.
He [C#] said, if you want to [F#] tell something,
[G#] you ain't got to [C#] fold your hands.
[F#] Say it with your heart, your [C#] soul, and believe it.
[G#] And I said, [C#]
man, bang a drum [F#] for the sinners.
[G#] Bang a drum [C#] for the sins.
[F#] Bang a drum [C#] for the losers [G#] and those who win.
[C#] Bang a drum, [F#] bang loudly, [G#] or as soft [C#] as you need.
[F#] Bang a drum [C#] for yourself, [G#] son, and a drum [C#] for me.
[F#] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
Let me [F#] hear you say yeah.
[C#] _ [G#] Hallelujah.
Amen.
I _ _ _ _ _ called [F#] upon my brother [G#] just the other [C#] day.
[F#] He said, John, I'm [C#] going to die.
[G#] Don't start to live again.
I [C#] work each day and [F#] night like clockwork,
[G#] just trying to [C#] make ends meet.
[F#] I could kick this [C#] bad world's ass if [G#] I could just get on my feet.
[C#] I banged the [F#] fire.
[G#] Bang a drum [C#] for the truth.
[F#] Bang a drum [C#] for the [G#] innocence lost in our youth.
[C#] Bang a drum [F#] _ [G#] for the softness [C#] you need.
[F#] Bang a drum [C#] for your brother [G#] and a drum [C#] for me.
[F#] _
[C#] I don't know [G#] the rivers, [C#] son.
[F#] I don't _ [C#] _ _ [G#] _ _ _ _ [A#m] _
_ [F#] believe in [C#] deep stuff.
[G#] Ain't [A#m] worth the prowl.
[F#] _ [G#] You're going to go deep.
Hallelujah.
[A#m] _
_ [D#] _ _ [F#] _ _ Hallelujah.
[C#]
Hallelujah.
[G#] _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _ _ [A#m] _
_ [G#] _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _ _ [A#m] _
_ [G#] _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G#] The poet [C#] or a saint, just another man who's
searching [D#] for a better way.
[F#] Put my [C#] heart as thunder [F#] for the things that [C#] I believe.
[F#] Sometimes I want to [G#] roll with color.
Sometimes I want to scream.
[C#] Bang a drum.
[F#] _
[G#] Bang a drum [C#] for the past.
[F#] Bang a drum [C#] for the [G#] heroes.
They won't come back.
[C#] Bang a drum [F#] for the promise.
[G#] Bang a drum [C#] for the lies.
Bang a drum for the lovers [G#] and the tears they cry.
[C#] Bang a drum, [F#]
yeah, [G#] for the softness [C#] you need.
But as [F#] long as my heart [C#] keeps on banging,
[G#] hallelujah. _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ [C#] _ _ [G#] _ _ [C#] _
_ _ Yeah.
_ [G#] _ _ [C#]
Yeah.
When he say yeah.
Yeah.
_ Whoa, when he say yeah.
Yeah.
[G#] Hallelujah. Amen.
[C#] _
_ _ Yeah. _ _ _ _
When he say yeah.
Yeah.
Hallelujah.
Amen.
All right, [N] girls.
Yeah.
_ _ Oh, yeah.
When he say yeah.
Yeah.
Hallelujah.
Amen.
