Verse 1: 
Eb       F      C7 
Shoulder to the wheel, 
    Eb              F       C7 
For someone else's selfish gain  
Eb                F        Em/G Em Em/G Am 
Here there is no choosing, working the clay  
Dm/A Am G        F 
Wearing their anger 
Dm     G/B      C7 
Like a ball and chain  
 
Eb    F      C7 
Fire in the field, 
Eb              F       C7 
Underneath the blazing sun  
    Eb                F     Em/G Em Em/G Am 
But soon the sun was faded, freedom was a song  
Dm/A Am G        F 
I heard them singing 
Dm     G/B      C7 
When the day was done  
Dm    G/B    C7 
To the holy one    
C/E  F  G 
     G/B C  C/E  F   
Lead me on, lead me on 
Am                   G          G/B 
To a place where the river runs, 
C  C/E   F       Am 
Into your keeping, oh 
     G/B C  C/E  F   
Lead me on, lead me on 
Am              G          G/B 
The awaited deliverance, 
C  C/E   Bb9        F 
Comforts the seeking 
F 
Lead on  
 
Dm  G/B  C7 
 
Verse 2: 
Waiting for the train, 
Labeled with a golden star 
Heavy hearted boarding, whispers in the dark 
Where are we going? 
Is it very far? 
 
Bitter cold terrain, 
Echoes of a slamming door  
Chambers made for sleeping, forever  
Voices like thunder, 
In a mighty war  
Cry out to the Lord    
 
Chorus 
 
Bridge 
Em        F 
Man hurts man 
G    F   Em         F     G 
Time and time, time again  
       Am                       Bb 
And we drown in the wake of our power 
Bb/Ab            G/B    
Somebody tell me why 
    
G/B  C  C/E  F  Am  G X3 
G/B  C  C/E  Bb F C/E F G 
 
Chorus 2x
