Payback Time chords by Charlie Daniels
Intro 1
Em
Verse 1
Em
The hero in the big white house
Shakes his head and moans about
D
The misery of his fellow man
Just as though he really cared
C
While the hand he holds
behind his back
Conceals the truth from those
Em
he is deceivin'
The camera rolls another reel
While the robots on the hill
D
Are dashing madly to and fro
Smiling at the status quo
C
While in the secret,
smoke- filled rooms
They sell the very air that you
Em
are breathing
D
Em
When it's payback time
And you take that final ride
D
Em
When there is no place to run to
Am
And there ain't no place to hide
The supreme court of the universe
G
F#
Em
Where justice is not blind
D
And no prisoners will be taken
G
D
Em
When it's paybacktime
Another day, another knife
Another precious unborn life
D
Will never see the light of day
Will never run or jump or play
C
It's just another sacrifice
To that greenback god of choice
Em
you are serving
Their blood cries out to be avenged
And someday you will cower
and cringe
D
Where the books don't lie
and the judge don't deal
No high- priced lawyers to appeal
C
Where the verdict is eternal
And you can't escape the verdict
Em
you're deserving
G
D
Em
When it's payback time and
G
D
Em
heaven rules supreme
G
D
When your gold and silver's
Em
worthless
Am
And you stand before the King
When your nightmares are reality
G
F#
Em
And there is no exit sign
D
And it's too late for repentance

B
Em
The sun comes up
the pendulum swings
And each new frightening
morning brings
D
The children's cries, the cannon roar
More loudly than the day before
C
The wax of time is drippin' down
From both ends of that candle
Em
burning brightly
A mighty shout, a trumpet blast
When the last is first and the first is last
D
The world is hushed and time
stands still
And the final chapter is fulfilled
C
The sky will part each knee will bow
To greet the awesome hour of
Em
His returning
G
D
Em
When it's payback time
B
Em
And the sheep are gathered in
G
D
When the roll is called
Em
up yonder
Am
And eternity begins
When the wedding supper's ready
G
D
Em
And the faithful called to dine
D
Who'll be sitting at the table
G
D
Em
When it's payback time
