verse 1 
E 
When the cold bites at your fingers 
E 
And the damp comes through your shoes 
A 
And you're far too proud to shout out loud 
                                   E 
'Sides your lips are cracked and  blue 
E 
Take cold comfort in the knowledge 
E 
That you did what you had to do 
C           B7       E 
Nobody to blame but you 

verse 2 
E 
You say 'thank you, Lord, for giving me this day' 
A                                              E 
You say 'sorry, friend, I'll live myself this day' 
                                            C#m 
If I lie down peaceful would you spirit me away 
       C              B7 
Only you can give it to me 
                      E 
Only you can make me pay 

verse 3 
E 
When the sun beats on your redneck 
E 
And your back feels on to break 
         A 
When you work from dawn to darkness 
                        E 
Long tying the summer hay 
E 
Take comfort in the know-how 
E 
That it has to be this way 
C                   B7 
There's no point in looking forward, 
B7                         E 
You have your breath these days 

verse 4 
E 
You say 'thank you, Lord, for what I have to do' 
          A                                E 
You say 'sorry, Sir, for thinking without you' 
E 
If I lie down peaceful 
E                        C#m 
Would you do what you can do 
      C               B7 
Only you can give it to me 
                 E 
And you got my IOU 

E And I say 'bye and bye I'm gonna see the King' A E I say 'bye and bye I'm gonna see the King' E C#m 'Bye and bye I'm gonna see the King' C B7 E Ain't no use being afraid I'm a child of God (Bye and bye)
Verse 5 E When the sun beats on your redneck E And your back feels on to break A When you work from dawn to darkness E Long tying the summer hay E Take cold comfort in the know-how E That it has to be this way C B7 No one's obligated for it B7 And my god you have your breath these days Verse 6 E You say 'thank you, Lord, for what I have to do' A E You say 'sorry, Sir, for thinking without you' E If I lie down peaceful C#m Would you see what you can do? C B7 Only you can take it to me B7 E Only you can take it through
E I say 'bye and bye I'm gonna see the King' A E You say 'bye and bye I am gonna see the King' E C#m 'Bye and bye, I'm gonna see the King' C B7 Ain't no use in being afraid E 'Cause I'm a child of God
