You may run, To not be caught, You may hide, And can't be found But when the Lord gets [D]ready, You got to [G]move. rich - poor less - more But when the Lord gets [D]ready, You got to [G]move. {c: Aaron Neville} You man be lame, And cannot walk, You may be mute, And cannot talk, But when the Lord gets ready, You gotta move blind - cannot see {c: tab for slide guitar in open G tuning} {sot} d|-----------0---0--|-----------0---0--|-----------5---5--|-----------0---0--| b|---0-1-3---0---0--|-3-3-------0---0--|-3-3-3-3---5---5--|-3-0-------0---0--| G|-0---------0---0--|-----0-4---0---0--|---------5-5---5--|-----0-0---0---0--| D|-----------0---0--|-----------0---0--|-----------5---5--|-----------0---0--| G|-----------0---0--|-----------0---0--|-----------5---5--|-----------0---0--| D|-----------0---0--|-----------0---0--|-----------5---5--|-----------0---0--| 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 d|-----------0---0--|-----------7---7--|-----------0---5--|---5---0---0---7--| b|-----------0---0--|-----------7---7--|-----------0---5--|---5---0---0---7--| G|-0-0-0-4---0---0--|---4---0---7---7--|-0-0---0---0---5--|---5---0---0---7--| D|-----------0---0--|---------0-7---7--|-----2-----0---5--|---5---0---0---7--| G|-----------0---0--|-----------7---7--|-----------0---5--|---5---0---0---7--| D|-----------0---0--|-----------7---7--|-----------0---5--|---5---0---0---7--| 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 {eot} {c: Gary Davis} You maybe lame, And you cannot walk, You maybe mute, And you cannot talk, But when the Lord gets ready, You got to move. You might be blind, And cannot see. You may be deaf, cannot hear But when the Lord gets ready, You got to move. You may be old, You may be young, You may be weak, You may be strong Brother, when God gets ready, You got to move. You may run, Can't be caught, You may hide, Can't be found, Brother, when God gets ready, You got to move.
