Now, play that progression through the first two verses,
At the end of the second verse, the E-A-B to G continues
through that long instrumental part, until you get to the
Bridge:

If they Knock on your Door... You Already gave

FCG---------------STAY ON G
You Don t need no more of what s ailing ya
(Repeat for next part of bridge)
When you get to "America....," play
E-A-B then Fmaj7 (instead of G)
Play the third verse like the first two, then the end
just like the bridge.....
NOTE: BE CAREFUL OF THE RHYTHM.... Every other chord
starts on the 4th beat of the measure, and lasts for 5 beats, not 4
For example, for the Fmaj7 and C in the verses, you play
Fmaj7 for 1-2-3 and C for 4-1-2-3-4....
The best way to get this down is to play along with the CD (or tape)
Words:
Sister........ did you have to fall in love
With a man.... that never was
Up to no good. he took your soul
And he left your only heart
Flipped your wig, and left a permanent scar
Sister........ did you have to go away
You left you re home.... and the things you had to say
It didn t feel good... to let you slide
I never got to say goodbye
Miss you girl, I think I m gonna cry....
If they knock on your door, you already gave
You don t need no more of what s ailin ya
Just lean on your soul with all that it takes
May god bring you back home to America...America
America....
Sister, sister,sister,sister... It s just a test of faith
Your heart is pure, so the devil s in your face
.....I ll see you soon
Cause they haven t got a case
And you ll be free, in a beautiful place
In a beautiful place....
If they knock on your door, you already gave.
