Em
I dreamt I died, no longer could I see
A Em
I dreamt I died, no longer could I see
Em
I dreamt I died, no longer could I see
A G Em
but I heard my woman a-wailing over me
[Chorus]
Em
Ain't no grave gonna keep my body down
A G Em
Ain't no grave gonna keep my body down
Em
When I hear that trumpet sound,
Em
I'm gonna rise up outta the ground
A G Em
Ain't no grave gonna keep my body down
[Verse 2]
Em
My wasted years, no not one will return
A Em
My wasted days, no not one will return
Em
My wasted hours, one by one I've earned
A G Em
and I hear those shovels a-piling on top of me
[Chorus]
Em
Ain't no grave gonna keep my body down
A G Em
Ain't no grave gonna keep my body down
Em
When I hear that trumpet sound,
Em
I'm gonna rise up outta the ground
A G Em
Ain't no grave gonna keep my body down
[Verse 3]
Em
Oh my Lord—if a blind eye can see
A Em
Oh my God—if a slave can be set free
Em
Oh my Jesus—if it has no hold on thee
A G Em
Take my hand—come and wake me from my sleep
[Chorus]
Em
Ain't no grave gonna keep my body down
A G Em
Ain't no grave gonna keep my body down
Em
When I hear that trumpet sound,
Em
I'm gonna rise up outta the ground
A G Em
Ain't no grave gonna keep my body down
[Outro]
Em
Roll away that stone
A
Roll away that stone
G
Ain't no grave gonna
Em A
keep my body down
