[Intro 1]
[G][C][Em][D]
[G][C][Em][D]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Farther [C]along
[Em]we'll know all [D]about [G]it
Farther [C]along [Em]we'll
understand [D]why[G]
So cheer up my [C]brothers,
[Em]live in the [D]sunshine[G]
We'll under[C]stand this,
[Em]all by and by[D]
[C]Tempted and

[Verse 2]
[G]tried, I wondered why
The [C]good man dies, the bad man thrives
And [Em]Jesus cries because he loves em' both
[D]We're all cast- awa[C]ys in need of ropes
[G]Hangin' on by the last threads of our hope
[C]In a house of mirrors full of smoke
[Em]Confusing illusions I've seen[D]
[C]Where did I go wrong,

[Verse 3]
[G]I sang along
To [C]every chorus of the song
That the [Em]devil wrote like a piper at the gates
[D]Leading mice and men
[C]down to their [G]fates
Some will courageously escape
[C]The seductive voice with a heart of faith
[Em]While walkin' that line back home[D]
There's [C]so much more to life

[Verse 4]
[G]
than we've been told
It's [C]full of beauty that will unfold
And [Em]shine like you struck gold my
wayward [D]son
That deadweight [C]burden weigh[D]s a ton
[G]I go down to the river and let it run
[C]Wash away all the things you've done
[Em]Forgiveness alright
[D]

[Verse 5]
[G]Farther alo[C]ng we'[Em]ll
know all [D]about [G]it
Farther [C]along [Em]we'll
understand [D]why[C][G]
So cheer up my [C]brothers,
[Em]live in the suns[D]hine[G]
We'll un[C]derstand [Em]this, all by and [D]by,
oh yeah
[G][C]

[Verse 6]
[Em]
Yeah- yeah- yeah- yeah- [D]yeah- yeah
Yeah- yeah
[G][C][Em]

[Verse 7]
[D]
But still I get hard [G]pressed
on every side
[C]Between the rock and a compromise
Like [Em]truth and pack of lies
fightin' for my [D]soul
I've got no place left [G]go
'Cause I got changed
by what I've been shown
[C]It's more glory than the
world has [Em]known
Keeps me ramblin' [D]on

[Verse 8]
Skipping like [G]a calf loosed from its stall
I'm [C]free to love once and for all
And [Em]even when I fall I'll get back [D]up
For the joy that [C]overflows my cup
[G]Heaven filled me with more than enough
[C]Broke down my levees and my bluff
[Em]Let the flood wash me[D]

[Verse 9]
And one day when [G]the sky
rolls back on us
[C]Some rejoice and the others fuss
'Cause [Em]every knee must
bow and tongue confess
[D]The son of [C]God is forever blessed
[G]This is the kingdom
and we're the guest[C]s
So put your voice up to the test
[Em]Sing Lord, come soon
[D]

[Verse 10]
[G]
Farther [C]along [Em]we'll
know all [D]about [G]it
Farther [C]along [Em]we'll
understand [D]why[C][G]
So cheer up my [C]brothers,
[Em]live in the suns[D]hine[G]
We'll under[C]stand this,
[Em]all by and[D][G][C]
[Em]by
[D]
