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)
