Gospel Shoes

E A E F#m A B E

E                       G#m       A          E
Some set their heads to swimming, nothing to lose
    F#m             A               B                 E
And drift about the good times with slippers in their boots
E                          G#m     A            E
Some walk the straight and narrow, only passing through.
F#m                A          B              E
Trading this world over for a pair of gospel shoes

E G#m A E
F#m A B E

E              G#m   A            E
Gospel shoes are laces shackled and chained
F#m            A         B              E
Fitted for the poor, the runners of the race
E                 G#m           A         E
Now every hand is folded to the shape of a gun
F#m              A                B             E
The targets ever changing but the war, it rages on

C#m                 E
So the armies march onward
E                      B
for the Mother and the Son
C#m                        E
As this world of screaming color
E                   B
its bleached in the blood.

E G#m A E
F#m A B E

E             G#m             A            E
Freedom was a simple word, so reverent and true
F#m         A            B            E
A long time ago it meant the right to choose
E                G#m              A              E
Who you love and how to live, but now it's so misused
F#m                A           B             E
And twisted by the politics of men in gospel shoes.

C#m                 E
So the armies march onward
E                      B
for the mother and the son
C#m                        E
As this world of screaming color
E                  B
is bleached in the blood.
A                  B
Our mother, she is crying
E   B               A
Her broken heart is blue
A                   B
'cus we're too busy dying
E  G#m                A
to love just like we lose
A                 B
gone weary of the light
A                      B
shes tired of all this fighting
A                     E
in the name of gospel shoes

E   G#m A E

(Repeat)

I've seen this chord labeled as both Db and C#m, but I've written it as C#m for this:
E|--------|
B|--------|
G|--6-----|
D|--6-----|
A|--4-----|
E|--------|

Between the F#m and the A, there's a quick bass from G#m, like this:
E|-----------|
B|-----------|
G|-----------|
D|-----------|
A|---------0-|
E|---2--4----|

And right before the first chord of the chorus, they hit one quick note before playing the C#m, like this:
E|-----------|
B|-----------|
G|------6----|
D|------6----|
A|---6--4----|
E|-----------|
