[Chorus]

Bm
(You can run on for a long time, run on
for a long time you can run on for a long time)
D E Bm
Sooner or later, God’ll cut you down
D E F#m Bm
Sooner or later, God’ll cut you down
Bm
Go and tell that long tongue liar, go and tell that midnight rider
Bm
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
D E Bm
Tell him that God’s gonna cut him down
D E F#m Bm
Tell him that God’s gonna cut him down

[Verse]

Bm
My goodness gracious, let me tell you the news
Bm
My head’s been wet by the midnight dews
Bm
I’ve been down on bended knee
Bm
Talking to the Man from Galilee
Bm
He spoke to me in a voice so sweet
Bm
I thought I heard the shuffle of angels’ feet
Bm
He called my name and my heart stood still
N.C.
When He said, “Son, go and do My will”

[Chorus 2]

Bm
(You can run on for a long time, run on
for a long time you can run on for a long time)
D E Bm
Sooner or later, God’ll cut you down
D E F#m Bm
Sooner or later, God’ll cut you down
Bm
Go and tell that long tongue liar, go and tell that midnight rider
Bm
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
D E Bm
Tell him that God’s gonna cut him down
D E F#m Bm
Tell him that God’s gonna cut him down

[Verse 2]

Bm
Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Bm
Working in the dark against your fellow man
Bm
But as sure as God made black and white
Bm
What’s done in the dark will be brought to the light

[Chorus 3]

Bm
(You can run on for a long time, run on
for a long time you can run on for a long time)
D E F#m Bm
Sooner or later, God’ll cut you down
D E F#m Bm
Sooner or later, God’ll cut you down
