Tom: Bbm

Db Bbm  Db        Bbm
I never saw your face but I can tell
Bbm                             Db
You're there and waiting at the Right Hand
Bbm                 Gb
Satan laughs but I swear
Bbm
I can hear all the saints on their way down
Bbm
Here come the Shirts in Brown and Black
With the flashing lights
They're hiding
In different colors in the dead of night
They're running Waller County, Texas where 4,000 died
Bbm
And down in Jackson, Mississippi they don't have to hide
Ebm                                              Bbm
But innocence is alive and it's coming back one day

Bbm
Here come them boys in black and white
With the kerosene
Bbm
It's been the same evil power since in ‘63
Bbm
They hang in Homewood, Alabama with the whitest sheets
Bbm
And in Montgomery County, Maryland from a sapling tree
Ebm                                              Bbm
But innocence is alive and it's coming back one day
I don't think you're gonna get away
Bbm
With the Seal I can hear them singing
Db
Kindra Chapman (we're coming back)
Db
Brother Andre Jones (we're coming back)
Bbm
Lennon Lacy (we're coming back)
Dbm           Db
Sandra Bland (we're coming back)
Db
Roosevelt Pernell (we're coming back)
Bbm
Keith Warren (we're coming back)
Db
Alfred Wright (we're coming back)
Bbm
We're coming back and any day now — it won't be long…
Bbm Ebm  Ab                 Ebm
The hand that brings the gavel down
Bbm
Is the hand that ties the noose
Bbm
The hand that finds you behind
F
And ties the thirteen loops
Bbm
But that hand is gonna fold
The day is coming soon
Bbm
When we fill it full of dust and resurrect the truth
Ebm                                              Bbm
But innocence is alive and it's coming back one day
