[G]
Well, you may run off for a long time, run off for a long time, run off for a long time,
but sooner or later, God will cut you down, but sooner or later, God will cut you down.
Don't tell that long-tongued liar, tell that midnight rider,
tell that gambler, the rambler, the back-spider, tell them God Almighty's gonna cut him down,
but sooner or later, God will cut you down.
Well, stop, God Almighty, let me tell you the news, my head's big and wet with the midnight beer,
I've been down on the bed of bees, talking to the man from Galilee,
I've got smoke in his smoke-soaked cheeks, I'm gonna hit the shovel of angels deep,
he put one hand upon my head, thank God Almighty, [Gm] I'm gonna tell you what,
don't tell that long-tongued liar, tell that midnight rider,
tell that gambler, the rambler, the back-spider, tell them God Almighty's gonna cut him down,
but sooner or later, God will cut you down.
Well, you may run on for a long time, run on for a long time, run on for a long time,
but sooner or later, God will cut you down, but sooner or later, God will cut you down.
[Gm] [G] You may throw a rock, hide your head, or work in the dark, let your spell bend,
the show has gotten its day or night, what you do in the dark [F] will be brought to the light,
[G] you may run and slip and slide, trying to make the most of your neighbor's hide,
the show has [Gm] gotten its ritual point, you better [G] re-cast what you [G] sow,
run on for a long time, run on for a [Bb] long time, run on for a long time,
but sooner or later, God will [G] cut you down, but sooner or later, God will cut you down.
[Gm] [G] So tell them good night, writer, tell them good night, [D] writer,
a rambler, the rambler, the back-spider, tell them God [E] Almighty's gonna cut him [G] down,
but sooner or [E] later, God will cut you [G] down.
Some people go to church just to sing that song, I try to make a day with the day, but twice,
my brother let me tell you, the show is so long, you better leave that [Bb] woman alone,
what did you [G] say, not my words, you think your brother is not to blame,
you sneak up and knock on his door, look out brother, you're not coming,
[Gm] run on for a long [G] time, run on for a long time, run on for a long time,
but sooner or later, God will cut you down, but sooner or later, God will cut you down.
So tell them good night, [D] writer, tell them long-term liar,
a rambler, the rambler, the back-spider, tell them God Almighty's gonna cut him down,
but sooner or later, God will [Gm] cut you down, God Almighty will cut you [G] down,
but sooner or later, God will cut you down.

[Eb] I knew Elvis Presley, I knew [D] Elvis really, really well, and we had many good nights together,
[Bb] especially when we were working in Las Vegas, [D] I would be over at the Caesar's Palace,
and Elvis would be at the Hilton, and we'd always get together after the shows,
and we would [N] always sing gospel songs, Elvis loved gospel music,
so that's the reason that I did that song tonight, and I also [C] recorded it,
it's on Praise and [D] Blame, which is the album I've got out now,
but the reason that I did that song [D] was that I loved the way Elvis did it,
so [N] it was my tribute to Elvis Presley doing that song.
