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
