John Mark McMillan
Reckoning Day
From "The Medicine"
Tabbed by thatchadmiller (Twitter)
He's using similar weird chord shapes on this song as on other tracks on The
Medicine. I'm pretty sure he's playing the D and D/C# in a similar pattern,
but I did them in standard shape to make it flow easier.
Verse 1
Bm4The lions in the street bend their A6sus4heads for the reckoning G6day G6/F#
Cause the iBm4nterstate's givBing up her A6sus4dead foBr the reckoning G6day G6/F#
A6Would you come alive everybody
Bm4Would you come alive everyone
G6Get up out of bed for the G6/F#sound of the song uBm4nsung
Verse 2
Bury all your guns in the sand cause the temperature's changed
and the blood shot eye of the sun stains the bones of the slain
Would you come alive everybody
Would you come alive everyone
Get up out of bed for the sound of the song unsung
Verse 3
The hour's gonna take you apart on the reckoning day
If the property lines of your heart are drawn in the clay
Would you come alive everybody
Would you come alive everyone
Get up out of bed for the sound of the song unsung
Verse 4
The tide water's taxing the shores of the washing away
The flood stands high at your doors of the houses you made
Would you come alive everybody
Would you come alive everyone
Get up out of bed for the sound of the song unsung
