Well I walked in the pouring rain
And I heard a voice that cries
"It's all in vain"
[C#m]The voice of doom
[B]was shining in my room
[Abm]I just need [F#]one day
[Abm]somewhere fa[F#]r away
[Abm]Lord I just need one [F#]day
[B]Well I'll be breaking these rocks[E]
[B]And cutting this hay[E]
[B]Yes I'll be breaking these rocks[E]
[B]What's my price to pay?[E]
Well the river's so muddy,
but it may come clear
And I know too well what's keeping me here
I'm just the slave of a burning ray
Oh give me the night,
I can't take another sight
Please, please give me the night
CHORUS....
[Abm]Sun keeps beating down on me, wall's a mil[Ebm]e high
[Dbm]Up in the tower they're watching me hoping [F#]I'm gonna die
[B]I won't be breaking no rocks[E]
[B]I said "I won't be breaking no rock[E]s"
(I won't be breaking no rocks)
(I won't be breaking no rocks)
(I won't be breaking no rocks)
When the kingdom comes
And I heard a voice that cries
"It's all in vain"
[C#m]The voice of doom
[B]was shining in my room
[Abm]I just need [F#]one day
[Abm]somewhere fa[F#]r away
[Abm]Lord I just need one [F#]day
[B]Well I'll be breaking these rocks[E]
[B]And cutting this hay[E]
[B]Yes I'll be breaking these rocks[E]
[B]What's my price to pay?[E]
Well the river's so muddy,
but it may come clear
And I know too well what's keeping me here
I'm just the slave of a burning ray
Oh give me the night,
I can't take another sight
Please, please give me the night
CHORUS....
[Abm]Sun keeps beating down on me, wall's a mil[Ebm]e high
[Dbm]Up in the tower they're watching me hoping [F#]I'm gonna die
[B]I won't be breaking no rocks[E]
[B]I said "I won't be breaking no rock[E]s"
(I won't be breaking no rocks)
(I won't be breaking no rocks)
(I won't be breaking no rocks)
When the kingdom comes
