Eb            Bbm
Run on for a long time
Bbm
Run on for a long time
                        Bbm

Go tell that long tongue liar
        Bbm
Go and tell that midnight rider

[Verse 1]
         Bbm
Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news
    Bbm
My head's been wet with the midnight dew
Bbm
I've been down on bended knee talkin' to the man from Galilee
Bbm
He spoke to me in the voice so sweet
Bbm
I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet
Bbm
He called my name and my heart stood still
                   Dbmaj7
When he said "John go do My will!"

[Chorus 2]

Go tell that long tongue liar
        Bbm
Go and tell that midnight rider
          Bbm
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Bbm
Tell them that God's going to cut 'em down
Bbm                    Ab              Bbm
Tell them that God's going to cut 'em down

[Chorus 1]

You can run on for a long time
Eb
Run on for a long time
Bbm
Run on for a long time
Bbm
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Bbm        Dmaj7    Fm
Sooner of later, God'll cut you down

[Verse 2]
Bbm
Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Bbm
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
Bbm
But as sure as God made black and white
       Bbm
What's done in the dark will be brought to the light
       Bbm
What's done in the dark will be brought to the light

[Chorus 1]
         Bbm
You can run on for a long time
Eb
Run on for a long time
Bbm
Run on for a long time
Bbm
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Sooner of later, God'll cut you down
