Mighty Day
CAPO none
Dm A7 DM A7
I remember one September, When storm winds hit the town,
DM GM
Women and children were crying, Lord,
A7 DM
And death was all around
Chorus:
DM DM7 G Bb7
Wasn't that a mighty day, Wasn't that a mighty day
DM
Wasn't that a mighty day, great God that morning
A7 DM
When the storm winds hit the town
The winds began to blowin', the rains began to fall
The lightning shafts were cracklin', Lord,
And the thunder started to roll
CHO:
The trumpets gave them warnin', They better leave this place
But never meant to leave there homes,
Till death was in their face
The seas began to rollin', The ships they could not land,
I heard a captain crying, God,
Please save this drowin' man
CHO:
The trains they all were loaded, with people leavin' town,
The tracks gave way to the ocean, Lord,
And the trains they went on down
The waters like some river, went rushin' to and fro
I seen my father drowin', Lord,
And I watched my mother go
CHO:
Now death your hands are icy, You've got them on my knee
You took away my mother now,
You're comin' after me
CHO: (twice to finish)
