I can almost promise this isn't exact, but its the way I play it.
Capo 3
[G]A mother cries, in a [C]worn out two room house
Her [Am]only son is leavin, but she's [D]glad He's gettin out
He [G]sits her down, says you [C]deserve a better life
I'm [Am]gonna make one for us, cross my [D]heart and hope to die
[G]I'll be back and [C]everyone will know my name
Next [Am]time you lay eyes on me [D]things won't be the same
Res[G]t assured every [C]word I say is true
I'm[Am] goin to a better place
But I [D]promise you, I'll be [G]back
He [G]had a voice like no [C]one had ever heard
People [Am]came from miles around, hung [D]on to every word
But there were [G]those, He could not make believe
They [C]called Him names and [Am]laughed at Him
And [D]He said wait and see
[G]I'll be back and [C]everyone will know my name
Next [Am]time you lay eyes on me [D]things won't be the same
Res[G]t assured every [C]word I say is true
I'm[Am] goin to a better place
But I [D]promise you, I'll be [G]back
[G]They say He walked up that [C]hill at Calvary
And not [Am]even the weight of the world
Could bring [D]Him to His knees
His [G]Father's son, He was [C]born to pay the cost
And [Am]everybody heard it as they nailed [D]Him to the cross
He said
I'll [G]be back and [C]everyone will know my name
Next[Am] time you lay eyes on me [D]will you feel ashamed
Rest [G]assured every [C]word I say is true
I'll[Am] take you to a better place
But I [D]promise you, I'll [G]be back
