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
AbmF#
I just need one day
AbmF#
somewhere far away
AbmF#
Lord I just need one day
BE
Well I'll be breaking these rocks
BE
And cutting this hay
BE
Yes I'll be breaking these rocks
BE
What's my price to pay?
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....
AbmEbm
Sun keeps beating down on me, wall's a mile high
DbmF#
Up in the tower they're watching me hoping I'm gonna die
BE
I won't be breaking no rocks
BE
I said "I won't be breaking no rocks"
(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
