Eliza Gilkyson - The Great Correction
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: C G F C F C G
C G
Down here on the corner of ruin and grace
F C
I'm growing weary of the human race
F C
Hold my lamp up in everyone's face
G
I'm looking for an honest man
C G
Everyone tied to the turning wheel
F C
Everyone hiding from the things they feel
F C
When the truth's so hard, it just don't seem real
G C
The shadow across this land
C G
People 'round here don't know what it means
F C
To suffer at the hands of our American dreams
F C
They turn their backs on the grisly scenes
G
Traced to the privileged sons
C G
They got their god, they got their guns
F C
Got their armies and the chosen ones
F C
But we'll all be burning in the same big sun
G C F C Dm
When the great correction comes
CHORUS:
Em Dm
Down through the ages, lovers of the mystery
C Dm
Been saying, "People, let your love light shine"
Em F
Poets and sages all throughout history
G F Em Dm
Say the light burns brightest in the darkest times
C G
It's the bitter end we've come down to
F C
The eye of the needle that we gotta get through
F C
But the end could be the start of something new
G C
When the great correction comes
INSTRUMENTAL: C G F C F C G C G F C F C G C Dm
CHORUS:
Em Dm
Down through the ages, lovers of the mystery
C Dm
Been saying, "People, let your love light shine"
Em F
Poets and sages all throughout history
G F Em G
Say the light burns brightest in the darkest times
C G
Down to the wire running out of time
F C
Still got hope in this heart of mine
F C
But the future waits on the horizon line
G
For our daughters and our sons
C G
I don't know where this train's bound
F C
Whole lotta people trying to turn it around
F C
Gonna shout 'til the walls come tumbling down
G C G F C F
And the great correction comes
C
Don't let me down
G C
When the great correction comes
