Down in the Churchyard - Chris Hillman

There’s a man, a tall man

Follows no one

Out in a storm can he stay warm

All the things that he’s done

Oh, but the city lights

Are but pretty lights

Get a move on, tell him it’s all right

You gotta ease in and say it’s all right

There is a man, a crippled man

Is he a soldier

Can his new wife live out her life

The way he once told her

Oh, but I see the light

I see it burning bright

Get a move on, tell him it’s all right

You gotta shake your fist and say it’s all right

Instrumental (Electric Guitars)

Now where you’ve been is not a sin

It’s where you’re goin'

Hurt anyone by what you’ve done

And it starts showin'

Oh, but you can’t complain

About the wind and the rain

You’re gonna gather down in the churchyard just the same

And your water won’t ever wash away the stain

If you remain
