[D]Woke up this m[D-alt]orning with my [D/C-bass]head in my [G/B-bass]hand,
[Bb]Come on, [A]child[G]ren, [A]come [D]on.
The snow was [D-alt]falling all [D/C-bass]over the l[G/B-bass]and,
[Bb]Come on, [A]child[G]ren, [A]come [D]on.
[D]I don't [D-alt]know but [D/C-bass-alt]I've been told,[G6/B-bass]
[Bb]Come on, [A]child[G]ren, [A]come [D]on.
That the streets of [D-alt]heaven have [D/C-bass-alt]all been sold,[G6/B-bass]
[Bb]Come on, [A]child[G]ren, [A]come [D]on.
{c:Chorus:}
[D]Come on, children, [G6]all come [D]home,
[G6]Jesus gonna make you we[C]ll.
[A]Well, [Em]come on, people, now it's [D]time to go,
[G6]Go to where a [G/A-bass]man can d[D]well.
The sun come up while I was singin' this song,
Come on, children, come on.
To remember me that this time it won't be long,
Come on, children, come on.
{c:Chorus.}
Come on, now, Gabriel, bow that thing,
Come on, children, come on.
All God's children got to dance and sing,
Come on, children, come on.
All God's children got to dance and shout,
Come on, children, come on.
Ain't nobody here 'bout to kick you out,
Come on, children, come on.
One of these days we'll all be there,
Come on, children, come on.
Watching them wheels way up in the air,
Come on, children, come on.
Come on, everybody, what's it worth,
Come on, children, come on.
To have a heaven right here on earth,
Come on, children, come on.
{c:Chorus.}
I said Moses gonna make you well,
Daniel gonna make you well,
Noah gonna make you well, (two by two by two)
Jesus gonna make you well.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official ARLO GUTHRIE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
