John Mark Mcmillan - Reckoning Day

john mark mcmillan
reckoning day
from “the medicine”
tabbed by thatchadmiller ( twitter )

he’s using similar weird chord shapes on this song as on other tracks on the
medicine . i’m pretty sure he’s playing the D and D/C# in a similar pattern ,
but i did them in standard shape to make it flow easier .

verse 1
Bm4 A6sus4 G6 [ ch ] G6/F# [ /Ch ]
the lions in the street bend their heads for the reckoning day
Bm4 B A6sus4 B G6 [ ch ] G6/F# [ /Ch ]
cause the interstate’s giving up her dead for the reckoning day
A6
would you come alive everybody
Bm4
would you come alive everyone
G6 [ ch ] G6/F# [ /Ch ] Bm4
get up out of bed for the sound of the song unsung

verse 2
bury all your guns in the sand cause the temperature’s changed
and the blood shot eye of the sun stains the bones of the slain
would you come alive everybody
would you come alive everyone
get up out of bed for the sound of the song unsung

verse 3
the hour’s gonna take you apart on the reckoning day
if the property lines of your heart are drawn in the clay
would you come alive everybody
would you come alive everyone
get up out of bed for the sound of the song unsung

verse 4
the tide water’s taxing the shores of the washing away
the flood stands high at your doors of the houses you made
would you come alive everybody
would you come alive everyone
get up out of bed for the sound of the song unsung
