[Intro] D G x2 [Verse 1]
DWe were white Aand they were black And ourBm lives, they were divAided by the railGroad tracks DBut We'd meet up every mornin' at that Ariverbend That's where I Bmlearned about JeAsus from my oGnly black friend And SomeEmtimes we'd sit and stare up at the Asky And I couldEm see the hope of heaven in his Aeyes [Chorus] GIn the land where the cotton grows F#mIn a time when change came slow GJust beyondF#m the Empoint of no Creturn A GA white boy and a black old man F#mOn the tracks walking hand in hand GIt's where F#mI come toEm understand and lCearnA
Where the cross don't burn
D[VersGe 2] D G He'd Tell me DMoney doens't matter, nor the Acolor of your skin You can Bmstumble, even Afall and still Gget up again D'Cause it ain't about the deeds, Agood or bad that we have done All we hBmave to do is Alove to be Gdesciples of the Son D/F# And we'd Emjoin hands and bow our heads to Apray And he Emtold me that he loved me every Aday
[Chorus]
GIn the land where the cotton grows F#mIn a time when change came slow GJust beyondF#m the Empoint of no Creturn A GA white boy and a black old man F#mOn the tracks walking hand in hand GIt's where F#mI come toEm understand and lCearnA
Where the cross don't burn D G D G [Bridge]
Yeah, we're all Dgathered here this mornin' at thisA riverbend To Bmsay our last goodAbyes to myG very best friend EmAs his ashes slowly float Aaway We know it's Emonly 'til we meet again somAeday
[Chorus]
GIn the land where the cotton grows F#mIn a time when change came slow GJust beyondF#m the Empoint of no Creturn A GA white boy and a black old man F#mOn the tracks walking hand in hand GIt's where F#mI come toEm understand and lCearnA
