Mighty Day
CAPO none

[Dm]I remember one [A7]September, [DM]When storm winds hit the [A7]town,
[DM]Women and children were [GM]crying, Lord,
[A7]And death was all [DM]around

Chorus:

[DM]Wasn't that a mighty [DM7]day, Wasn't that a [G]mighty [Bb7]day
Wasn't that a [DM]mighty day, great God that morning
When the [A7]storm winds hit the [DM]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)
