Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Down on the corner of ru[A]in and grace
[G]I'm growin' weary of [D]the human race
I [G]hold my lamp up in [D]everyone's face
[A]Lookin' for an honest man

[Verse 2]
[G]Everyone tied to the [A]turnin' wheel
[G]Everyone hidin' from
the thing[D]s they feel
Well the [G]truth's so hard it just
don't [D]seem real
[A]The shadow across this [D]land

[Verse 3]
[D]People round here don't
[A]know what it means
To suf[G]fer at the hands of
our Amer[D]ican dreams
They [G]turn their backs on the
[D]grisly scenes
[A]Traced to the privileged sons

[Verse 4]
They got [G]their god they got [A]their guns
[G]Got their armies and the chosen
[D]ones
But we'll [G]all be burnin'
in the [D]same big sun
When the [A]great correction comes
[D]

[Verse 5]
[Em]
Down through the [F#m]ages lovers
of the mystery
[G]Been sayin' people let your
love light [D]shine[Em]
Poets and sages [F#m]all through history
Say the light [G]burns brightest in the
darkest times
[A][G]

[Verse 6]
[F#m][Em]
[A]It's the bit[D]ter end we've
come [A]down to
[G]The eye of the needle that we
got[D]ta get through
But the en[G]d could be the start
[D]of something new
When the [A]great correction comes

[Interlude 1]
[D][A][G]
[D][G][D]
[A][G][A]
[G][D][G][D]
[A][D]

[Verse 7]
[D]Down to the wire run[A]nin' out of time
[G]Still got hope in this [D]heart of mine
But the [G]future waits on the ho[D]rizon line
For our [A]daughters and our sons

[Verse 8]
[G]I don't know where
this [A]train's bound
[G]Whole lotta people tryin'
[D]to turn it around
[G]Gonna shout till the walls
come tum[D]blin' down
And [A]the great correction [D]comes[G]

[Verse 9]
Don't [D]let me down
When the [A]great correction [D]comes
