Verse:
G G/F
Up in the north where the cold winds blow
G/C G/A G
Over the prairie gold

There's a church bell screaming on the steeple high

Gather ye children of men

With one hand on the trigger, one hand on the cross
G G/A G/C G
Jesus and his family are two things he's lost
Verse 2:
G G/F
March him to the scaffold and string him up on high
G/C G/A G
The call came out from the crowd
G G/F
Theres blood in their eyes and blood in their hearts
G/C G/A G
For, the blood turning dry on his hands
G/C G/A
With one hand on the trigger, one hand on the cross
G G/A G/C G
Jesus and his family are two things he's lost

Listen to me my wayward flock

His bidding was all I could do
