Capo II 

C    F    G    C  
C  F (short pause) 

F   C F
Are you one foot in the grave, or one step closer to your savior
                       G      C
Brother tell me how it feels, it's much too soon to meet your maker
C     F
You ain't ever walked a line, boy, you always were a rebel
 G     C 
Ain't no time to strike a deal, not for someone to cheat the devil

Won't get a nickel for your name, 'course you won't need it where you're going
But brother tell me can you feel, now, the winds of change that started blowing
It ain't a hot and dusty road, no, it ain't a highway it's a journey
Sure you're walking for the train still, but it's a train that's bound for glory

Every man is born to die, there ain't no mystery but livin'
Brother tell me is it hard to say goodbye, to be forgiven
You won't ever get it back, don't you hear the angels calling
'Cause you listen to them now, now that the tears have started fallin'

F (longer pause)         C       F
When he reaches out his hand for you, and you kneel before you savior
    G C
Say, your brothers know you're gone, gone to heaven a believer
C F
    G C
Say, your brothers know you're gone, gone to heaven a believer
