[Verse 1]
Bm
Preacherman, gon' tell me

where his body lie

said he down by the river now child
N.C.                  Em  Bm
left him there to die


[Verse 2]
Bm
one by one we tumble

one by one we fall

if I had a solution now honey
N.C.               Em  Bm 
I would fix us all


[Chorus]
        Em
Cause I believe in a world
             Bm
where we all belong
        Em
and I'm so tired of seein'
N.C.
every good man gone


[Solo]
Bm


[Verse 3]
Bm
Take me to that river

lay me by his side

let the water wash me clean now honey
N.C.
man done stole my pride


[Verse 4]
Bm
I have seen the darkness

Lord knows I've seen the light

don't recall the Lord sayin' there's a difference
N.C.                     Em  Bm
If you're black or white


[Chorus]
        Em
Cause I believe in a world
             Bm
where we all belong
        Em
and I'm so tired of seein'
N.C.                Em  Bm
every good man gone
