I D went to see the G preacher to A teach me how to D pray
He G looked at me and D smiled then that A preacher turned away
He said "Son, if you D want to tell him G something
You ain't A gotta fold your D hands
Say it with your G heart your soul and D believe it, and I'll A say
amen D”
Bang a drum for the G sinners, bang a A drum for the D sins
Bang a G drum for the D losers and A those who win
Bang a D drum, bang it G loudly or as A soft as you D need
Bang a G drum for yourself D son and a A drum for me D
G Oh-oh-D oh-oh-Aoh oh D oh let me hear you say:
GYeah, yeah D Hallelujah Aamen D
I D called upon my G brother just the A other D day,
He said: G "Jon, I'm gonna D die if I don't A start to live again
I work each Dday and night like G clockwork just Atrying to make ends
D meet
I could G kick this bad world's D ass if I could A just get on my
feet"
I'd bang a D drum for the G dying, bang a A drum for the D truth
Bang a G drum for the D innocence A lost in our youth
Bang a D drum bang it G loudly or as A soft as you D need
Bang a G drum for you D brother and a A drum for me D
G I don't D know where all the A rivers D run
I don't G know how D far, I don't A know how come
But I'm Bm gonna die G believin' each Dstep that I Atake
Ain't worth the Bmground that I Gwalk on
If we don't walk A it our own Bm way
Solo Bm G D A Bm G A
No I don't D claim to be a Gwise man a Apoet or a D saint
I'm G just another D man who's searching for a A better way
But my G heart beats loud as D thunder for the Gthings that I
Dbelieve
Sometimes I G wanna run for D cover, someAtimes I want to scream
Bang a Ddrum for tomoGrrow, bang a A drum for the D past
Bang a G drum for the Dheros that A won't come back
Bang a D drum for the G promise, bang a A drum for the D lies
Bang a Gdrum for the Dlovers and the Atears they've cried
Bang a D drum, bang it G loudly or as Asoft as you Dneed
But as long as my G heart keeps on D bangin'
I got a A reason to believe
G Yeah D yeah Aoh yeah D oh let me hear you say:
GYeah, yeah D Hallelujah Aamen D
G Yeah D yeah Aoh yeah D oh let me hear you say:
GYeah, yeah D Hallelujah Aamen D
