Let The Filthy Dance With The Righteous

John Lucas


Tom: C

F                     C
We have spent our days
                   G
Forgetting and remembering
                   Am
Forgetting and remembering your goodness
F                      C
And we have been afraid
                             G
That you have turned your face
                     Am
That you have taken flight and forsaken us

[Instrumental]
F  C  G  (Am)  G  F (x2)

[Chorus]
F  Am
Oh death
                 G
We have felt your sting
F   Am
Oh darkness 
                    G
We're weary of your wings
F           Am
But deep we know
                      G
That we are all called child
F                Am
Oh beneath these chains
                     G
Our hearts are still wild

[Instrumental]
 F  C  G  Am  G  F (x2)

[Verse 2]
F                   C
The teachers of the law
                     G
Give rations of your freedom
                      Am
But we haven't tasted hope in a long time
F                             C
For they've poisoned all your wine
                             G
And they've spoiled all your bread
                        Am
And we can't find your body though you've risen from the dead
[Instrumental]
 F  C  G  Am  G  F (x2)

[Chorus]
F  Am
Oh death
                 G
We have felt your sting
F   Am
Oh darkness 
                    G
We're weary of your wings
F           Am
But deep we know
                      G
That we are all called child
F
Oh beneath these chains
                     G
Our hearts are still wild

[Instrumental]
 F  C  G  Am  G  F (x2)
C
Dance with all your might
G
Dance among the shadows
F                                     C (x2)
Dance until the darkness becomes light
C               G
Let the filthy dance with the righteous (x6)
F                     C
Until there's no more daylight and darkness
