Tuning: E A D G B E
The whole song is finger picked mostly, but these are the chords. There's more extravagant notes played
throughout the song, and I've added some of the easier ones to play with just one person playing.
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|-----------|
[Intro]
E A E F#m A B E
[Verse 1]
ESome set their heads to G#mswimming, Anothing to Elose
And F#mdrift about the Agood times with Bslippers in their Eboots
ESome walk the straight and G#mnarrow, Aonly passing Ethrough.
F#mTrading this world Aover for a Bpair of gospel Eshoes
[Bridge]
E G#m A E
F#m A B E
[Verse 2]
EGospel shoes arG#me laceAs shackled anEd chained
F#mFitted for the Apoor, the Brunners of the Erace
ENow every hand is G#mfolded to the Ashape of aE gun
F#mThe targets ever Achanging but the Bwar, it rages Eon
[Chorus]
C#mSo the armies march Eonward
Efor the Mother and the BSon
C#mAs this world of screaming Ecolor
Eits bleached in the Bblood.
[Bridge]
E G#m A E
F#m A B E
[Verse 3]
EFreedom was a G#msimple word, so Areverent and Etrue
F#mA long time Aago it meant Bthe right to Echoose
EWho you love and G#mhow to live, but Anow it's so misEused
F#mAnd twisted by the Apolitics of Bmen in gospel Eshoes.
[Chorus]
C#mSo the armies march Eonward
Efor the mother and the Bson
C#mAs this world of screaming Ecolor
Eis bleached in the Bblood.
AOur mother, she is Bcrying
EHer Bbroken heart is Ablue
A'cus we're too busy Bdying
Eto G#mlove just like we lAose
Agone weary of the Blight
Ashes tired of all this Bfighting
Ain the name of gospel Eshoes
