The Reckoning

Mount Moriah -- "Reckoning" From the self-titled record http://www.mountmoriahband.com/ Tabs by Tim Prizer (tim_prizer@yahoo.com) Heather McEntire plays this in bar-chord form, as such: A: 5-7-7-6-5-5 E: 12-14-14-13-12-12 D: 10-12-12-11-10-10 But it also works nicely in traditional-chord form, and I find that it is better to play it this way if you're playing it with no lead guitar backup because you can provide some texture to the D at the end of each line by pulling off and hammering on the little e-string (or including a couple of Dsus2 chords with it). This, of course, looks like so: A: x-0-2-2-2-0 E: 0-2-2-1-0-0 D: x-x-0-2-3-2 Dsus2: x-x-0-2-3-0 -------- AEDDDDsus2 AEA INTRO (same as verses): x 3; then A E D DDDsus2 Mama rest your mind A E D DDDsus2 I found a lover she's gentle and kind A E D DDDsus2 Finally it's the lasting kind A E A So mama rest your mind A E D DDDsus2 Mama calm your nerves A E D DDDsus2 It could be so much worse A E D DDDsus2 And if this love is the Devil's curse A E A I don't want your cure CHORUS A E D DDDsus2 If your old book says it's true A E D Dsus2DDsus2 Back of your knees locked to the seat of the pew A E D DDDsus2 And if it's this painful and pure A E D A I will reckon you A E D DDDsus2 All you ask for is family A E D DDDsus2 I've had your fists your love your suffering A E D Dsus2 DDsus2 All these years of coming clean A E A But never heard or seen CHORUS Guitar break (same as verse/intro) AEDDsus2 AEDDsus2 AEDDsus2 AEA A E D DDDsus2 Mama dry your eyes A E D DDDsus2 Forget about the fire A E D Dsus2 DDsus2 Look how my face smiles and shines A E A Can you learn to know your child CHORUS A E D A I will reckon you A E D A I will reckon you
