To Kingdom Come

B
Forefather pointed to kingdom come
F#
Sadly told his only son
A
Just be careful what you do
";Robbie Lick";
It all comes back on you.


False witness spread the news
Somebody's gonna lose
Either she or me or you,
Nothing we can do.

(Chorus)

A E
Don't you say a word
A E
Or reveal a thing you've learned
A G#m C#m
Time will tell you well
F#m A B
If you truly, truly fell


Tarred and feathered, yea!
Thistles and thorns,
One or the other
He kindly warns.Now you look out the window tell me
What do you see?
I see a golden calf pointing
Back at me.

I been sitting in here for so darn long
Waitin' for the end to come along.
Holy roaster on the brink
Take a chance, swim or sink.

False witness, cast an evil eye
said I cannot tell a lie,
Haints and saints don't bother me
I'm not alone you see.

(Chorus)
