Verse: 1
 
 
 
      Em
Every man will see the day
 
         D                  Em
That his hopes are dashed a-way
 
 
No word can bring him peace
 
   D               Em
No man can set him free
 
 
Some will ramble far from home
 
           D              Em
Work their fingers to the bone
 
 
Some will numb their hearts with wine
 
       D                    Em
To dis-tract their troubled minds
 
 
Chorus:
 
 
Take me down to Calvary

Take me down, down, down, right on down
 
 
Verse: 2
 
 
There's no running from your troubles

Or you're sure to make them double
 
 
You will meet your destiny
 
      D      Em
Every man is Calvary

Verse: 3
 
 
I will lay my hammer down
 
       D              Em
Set my knees upon the ground
 
 
I will not leave from this place
 
        D             Em
Until I see a face-to-face
