Bang A Drum chords

I [D] went to see the [G] preacher to [A] teach me how to [D] pray

He [G] looked at me and [D] smiled then that [A] preacher turned away

He said "Son, if you [D] want to tell him [G] something

You ain't [A] gotta fold your [D] hands

Say it with your [G] heart your soul and [D] believe it, and I'll [A] say

amen [D]"

Bang a drum for the [G] sinners, bang a [A] drum for the [D] sins

Bang a [G] drum for the [D] losers and [A] those who win

Bang a [D] drum, bang it [G] loudly or as [A] soft as you [D] need

Bang a [G] drum for yourself [D] son and a [A] drum for me [D]

[G] Oh-oh-[D] oh-oh-[A]oh oh [D] oh let me hear you say:

[G]Yeah, yeah [D] Hallelujah [A]amen [D]

I [D] called upon my [G] brother just the [A] other [D] day,

He said: [G] "Jon, I'm gonna [D] die if I don't [A] start to live again

I work each [D]day and night like [G] clockwork just [A]trying to make ends

[D] meet

I could [G] kick this bad world's [D] ass if I could [A] just get on my

feet"

I'd bang a [D] drum for the [G] dying, bang a [A] drum for the [D] truth

Bang a [G] drum for the [D] innocence [A] lost in our youth

Bang a [D] drum bang it [G] loudly or as [A] soft as you [D] need

Bang a [G] drum for you [D] brother and a [A] drum for me [D]

[G] I don't [D] know where all the [A] rivers [D] run

I don't [G] know how [D] far, I don't [A] know how come

But I'm [Bm] gonna die [G] believin' each [D]step that I [A]take

Ain't worth the [Bm]ground that I [G]walk on

If we don't walk [A] it our own [Bm] way

Solo [Bm] [G] [D] [A] [Bm] [G] [A]

No I don't [D] claim to be a [G]wise man a [A]poet or a [D] saint

I'm [G] just another [D] man who's searching for a [A] better way

But my [G] heart beats loud as [D] thunder for the [G]things that I

[D]believe

Sometimes I [G] wanna run for [D] cover, some[A]times I want to scream

Bang a [D]drum for tomo[G]rrow, bang a [A] drum for the [D] past

Bang a [G] drum for the [D]heros that [A] won't come back

Bang a [D] drum for the [G] promise, bang a [A] drum for the [D] lies

Bang a [G]drum for the [D]lovers and the [A]tears they've cried

Bang a [D] drum, bang it [G] loudly or as [A]soft as you [D]need

But as long as my [G] heart keeps on [D] bangin'

I got a [A] reason to believe

[G] Yeah [D] yeah [A]oh yeah [D] oh let me hear you say:

[G]Yeah, yeah [D] Hallelujah [A]amen [D]

[G] Yeah [D] yeah [A]oh yeah [D] oh let me hear you say:

[G]Yeah, yeah [D] Hallelujah [A]amen [D]
