Theres a mighty battle coming and its well now on its way.
Itll be fought at armageddon, it shall be a sad, sad day.
In the book of revelation, words in chapter sixteen say
Therell be gathered there great armies for that battle on that day.
(refrain)
All the way from the gates of eden to the battle of armageddon
Theres been trobles and tribulation, therell be sorrow and despair.
He has said ye not be troubled for these things shall come to pass.
Then your life will be eternal when you dwell with him at last.
Turn the pages of your bible, in st. matthew you will see,
Start with chapter twenty-four and read from one to thirty-three.
In our saviors blessed words he said on earth, he prophesised,
For he spoke of this great battle that is coming by and by.
(refrain)
Therell be nation against nation, therell be war and rumor of war.
Therell be great signs in heaven, in the sun, the moon, the stars.
Oh, the hearts of been shall fail them, therell be gnashing of the teeth.

Capo on 1st fret.
[d] well, youre just in time to be too late

Thy Burdens Are Greater Than Mine
Recorded by hank williams
Words and music by pee wee king and redd stewart
[c] travelin [g7] down a lonely high-[c] way
I knew not [f] where the road would [c] end
Not a [f] penny in my [c] pocket
All a-[g7] lone without a [c] friend
In a [g7] little country [c] village
I met a [f] man and he was [c] blind
As I [f] helped him cross the high-[c] way
Oh! [am] lord I cried his [c] burdens are [g7] greater than [c] mine.
I can [f] see the light of day
I [c] need not feel my way
Yes, thy burdens are [g7] greater than [c] mine.
Met a lad while on my travels
Tryin hard to play the game
Though his leg was very crippled
And he could not speak his name
Yet, he smiled in understandin
Though life to him had been unkind
And as I watched, I cried in sorrow

Dear John
Key f writers, aubry gass and tex ritter
(f) well when I woke up this mornin,
There was a note upon my door,
Said dont make me no coffee babe,
cause I wont be back no more,
And thats all she wrote, dear john,
Ive (c7) sent your saddle (f) home.
Now jonah got along in the belly of the whale,
Daniel in the lions den,
But I know a guy that didnt try to get along,
And he wont get a chance again,
And thats all she wrote, dear john,
Ive fetched your saddle home.
Now she didnt forward no address,
Nor she didnt say goodbye,
All she said was if you get blue,
Just hang your little head and cry,
And thats all she wrote, dear john,
Ive sent your saddle home.
Now my gals short and stubby,

Beyond The Sunset--hank Williams
Should you go first and I remain, to walk the road alone
Ill live in memorys garden dear, with happy days weve known
In spring Ill wait for roses red, when faith the lilacs bloom
And in early fall when brown leaves fall,
Ill catch a glimpse of you
Should you go first and I remain, for battles to be fought
Each thing youve touched along the way, will be a hallowed spot
Ill hear your voice ill see your smile
Though blindly I may grope
The memory of your helping hand, will buoy me on with hope
(c)beyond the sunset oh blissful (g)morning
When with our saviour, heaven is be(c)gun
Earths toiling ended, oh glorious (f)dawning
Beyond the (c)sunset (g)when day is (c)done
Should you go first and I remain, to finish with the scroll
No lessening shadows shall ever creep in
To make this life seem droll
Weve known so much of happiness, weve had our cup of joy
And memory is one gift of god, that death cannot destroy
I want to know each step you take, that I may walk the same

Id Still Want You
Words and music by hank williams, sr.
[g] I could shame you til you hide your face
And drag you right down in disgrace
But what good would it [d] do
I know Id still want [g] you.
I could tell the world youre doin wrong
That I was stringin you along
And if it all were [d] true
I know Id still want [g] you.
The [c] world with me might sympathize
[g] when I got thru with all my lies
But Id be just as [d] blue
cause my heart would still want [g] you-ooo-oo
[d] cry, oh, [g] lord.
I could tell my friends I threw you down
And slander your name all over town
But what good would it do
I know Id still want you.
If I said Im happy to be free
The only one Id fool is me
