Capo on 3rd fret
I can almost promise this isn't exact, but its the way I play it.
G C
A mother cries, in a worn out two room house
Am D
Her only son is leavin, but she's glad He's gettin out
G C
He sits her down, says you deserve a better life
Am D
I'm gonna make one for us, cross my heart and hope to die
G C
I'll be back and everyone will know my name
Am D
Next time you lay eyes on me things won't be the same
G C
Rest assured every word I say is true
Am
I'm goin to a better place
D G
But I promise you, I'll be back
G C
He had a voice like no one had ever heard
Am D
People came from miles around, hung on to every word
G
But there were those, He could not make believe
C Am
They called Him names and laughed at Him
D
And He said wait and see
G C
I'll be back and everyone will know my name
Am D
Next time you lay eyes on me things won't be the same
G C
Rest assured every word I say is true
Am
I'm goin to a better place
D G
But I promise you, I'll be back
G C
They say He walked up that hill at Calvary
Am
And not even the weight of the world
D
Could bring Him to His knees
G C
His Father's son, He was born to pay the cost
Am D
And everybody heard it as they nailed Him to the cross
He said
G C
I'll be back and everyone will know my name
Am D
Next time you lay eyes on me will you feel ashamed
G C
Rest assured every word I say is true
Am
I'll take you to a better place
D G
But I promise you, I'll be back
