ãSeven Hillsidesä
Am
All night I've wrestled Jacob's angels and prayed with Matthew Luke and John
G
Struggling to find the words to face the task that comes upon the blood red
dawn
Am
I've buried men before their time of alcohol and blackened lung
but how to bury seven of these Appalachian minersâ sons
G
who stormed the beaches wave on wave, and sailed home to these rocky graves
Am
and family plots that bared their names,
Chorus:
C G Dm Am
Tomorrow Ill walk up, seven hillsides
C G Dm Am
tremble before my flock on seven hillsides
F G Am G F
seven sorrows seven sons, seven mothers and every one
will turn to me for the word of God what does this mean,
G
F
and there Ill stand good book in hand, a shepherd to these precious lambs
G Am
what will I say what will I say what can I say
Am
To tell the truth Id never thought much about the will of God before
G
called to preach at seventeen I was in love with fiery words and not much more
Am
the time has come to keep the faith for others shattered by their loss
G
remind them of the loving God whose son like theirs paid the cost to save a
sad and
Am
wicked world through sacrifice our love is heard and pray that I believe
those words
Chorus
awesome song
i hope people start putting more bluegrass tabs. I'd like to see them
