  34 <p>The chord indications follow the rhythm guitar, which plays those two
  35 chords. The following suggestion indicates a possible way to
  36 incorporate more of the full band into one acoustic guitar (for
  37 whichever reason):</p>

  53          Am                    D     (D11)
  54 Well you heard about Pharaoh's army
  55 Trampling through the mud
  56 You heard about the Hebrew children
  57 Redeemed by blood
  58 Same spirit drivin' in ya
  59 That raised Christ from the dead
  60 If you're quick in your mortal body
  61 Then let it under your head.
  62
  63 You got to cover down, cover down, break through
  64 Cover down, cover down, break through.
  65
  66 We need that protection
  67 By the armour of the Lord
  68 The sword of God is sharper
  69 than any double sided sword
  70 He's the hammer of salvation
  71 blade of righteousness
  72 Genesis to revelation
  73 Repent and confess.
  74
  75 Cover down, cover down, break through
  76 Cover down, cover down, break through.
  77
  78 Well, you wake up early in the morning
  79 Turning from side to side
  80 Something giving you a warning
  81 You can run, but you can't hide
  82 Demands are laid upon you
  83 And burdens you can't bear
  84 Sins you can't even remember
  85 Are waiting to meet you there.
  86
  87 Cover down, cover down, break through
  88 Cover down, cover down, break through.
  89
  90 You got an image of yourself
  91 You've built by yourself alone
  92 But it will come a-tumbling down
  93 Just like the walls made of stone
  94 You will be separated
  95 From everything you seem to be
  96 You think you'll be liberated, yeah
  97 But the grave won't set you free.
  98
  99 You got to cover down, cover down, break through
 100 Cover down, cover down, break through.

 102 Cover down, cover down, break through)
