Verse 1
(F sharp minor) I set out on Monday,
a night was cold (E major) and vast, (F sharp minor)
my brother slept.
Before I left, quite quietly,
my father raged (E minor) and raged, (F sharp minor)
my mother wept.
My life was like a river,
all sucked into the ground,
and (D major) then the hammer came down. (G major)
Lord, the (F sharp minor) hammer came down.
Many miles did I roam,
through the ice and through the snow.
My horse died on the seventh day.
I stumbled into a city
where the people tried to kill me
and I ran in shame
I came upon a river
and I laid my saddle down
and then the (D major) hammer came (G major) down
Lord, (F sharp minor) the hammer came (F sharp5) down (F sharp minor)
It knocked me into (E major) the (E minor) ground
And I said now please, (D major) please
Take me back to my (G major) home ground
And oh, the (F sharp minor) hammer came down
I've been made weak (F sharp major) by vis (F sharp minor) ions
For many visions did I see
all through the night
In the seventh hour an (F sharp major) angel came (F sharp minor) with many
snakes in all his hands and I fled in fright
I pushed off into the river
and the waters came around
and then the (D major) hammer came down (G major)
Lord, (F sharp minor) the hammer came down
It did not make (E minor) a sound
And I said, now please, (D major) please,
take me back to my (G major) home ground
Lord, the (F sharp minor) hammer came down
And I pushed off into the river (F sharp major) ,
(F sharp minor) and the water swelled around
And then the (G major) hammer came down,
Lord, the (F sharp minor) hammer came down
And did not make (E minor) a sound
And I said now please, (D major) please,
take me back to hal (G major) lowed ground
Oh, but the (F sharp minor) hammer came down
And it threw me around (E minor) and around
And I said now please, (D major) please,
take me back to my (G major) hometown (F sharp minor)
And I got down (E minor) on my (D major) knees,
and I said please,
I said take (G major) me to my hometown,
Lord, I (F sharp minor) had
I came down,
and I did not make (E minor) a sound
And I said, (D major) please, please
Take me back to my home ground
Lord, (D major) I can't, I (F sharp minor) came down
