Written by Johnny Cash Published by Song of Cash Inc. ASCAP Am Am From the hands it came down Dm From the side it came down E From the feet it came down Am And ran to the ground Am Between heaven and hell Dm A teardrop fell E In the deep crimson dew Am The tree of life grew | C |And the blood gave life | G |To the branches of the tree | F |And the blood was the price | G |That set the captives free | C |And the numbers that came | G |Through the fire and the flood |F |Clung to the tree | Am |And were redeemed by the blood From the tree streamed a light That started the fight 'Round the tree grew a vine On whose fruit I could dine My old friend Lucifer came Fought to keep me in chains But I saw through the tricks Of six-sixty-six {chorus} From his hands it came down From his side it came down From his feet it came down And ran to the ground And a small inner voice Said "You do have a choice." The vine engrafted me And I clung to the tree {chorus} Am From his hands it came down Dm From his side it came down E From his feet it came down Am And ran to the ground Enjoy!
