[Ebm] _ _ _ There's an old man, _ he lives down [F] on [Eb] Decatur [Ab] Street. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ He's got a little [Ebm] word [Gb] of wisdom _ [Eb] _
for [Ebm] every single _ soul [Ab] that he meets.
_ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _
_ _ Every time [Gb] he gets next to [Eb] me, he tries to tell [Gb] me _ [Eb] that I really [Ab] can be. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Abm] _ Be [Ebm] one with everything, _ free, _ _ [Gb] living in [Ab] eternity. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ebm] _ He said, oh boy, when you get [Eb] near, you'll see heaven [Ebm] on earth _ is [G] really [Ab] _ here.
_ _ [Abm] _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [D]
[Eb] Watch your attitude [Ebm] _ _ disappear, when you realize there's nothing [Gm] to fear but fear of yourself
[Ab] and nobody else can put you in nobody else's hands.
And do you understand that you don't want to?
[Eb] _ _ [Ebm] _ God, the sun, the moon, the earth is all [Fm] here.
_ There's a [Gb] call [Ab] on you.
_ _ [Abm] _ Oh, now the rain's gonna fall on you.
But [Ebm] it'll make you feel real good when you realize in your heart _ that
[Fm] all the [Bbm] joy is [Ab] all on _ you.
_ _ Oh, it's gone within, you know, I hope it never ends.
[B] I tell you, black [Gb] son of a bitch.
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ebm] _ All the colors and the doors and the windows and your life [Gb] will all [Eb] open and [Ab] never close. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ [Ab] _ You [Eb] take your choice, choose [Ebm] the one you feel, cause [Eb] I'm the only one that'll tell you [Ebm] the truth
and I tell you I'm [Ab] the one who knows them. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] And everything will [Ebm] be open to you when I show you the color _ _ _ [Gm] that I [Ab] know is real. _ _ _ _ _
[Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ _ Do what you want to do and I will make you know [Gb] _ that everything [Ab] you believe in,
my heart will tell you and you will know it's real.
_ _ I wanna tell [Gb] you that black _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] is the _ [Abm] color, _ _
[B] _ black [Gb] son of a _ _
[Ab] bitch.
_ And the one [Bb] who will [B] come down, _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ebm] just step on your feet and seek your will.
_ Blessing you with the shield.
_ [Eb] _
[Ab] _ _ _ I tell you, it's real.
_ _ [Db] _ [Ab] _ _ You're [Eb] given the power [Ebm] and the wisdom _ of the words you will.
_ [Ab] When you [Db] enter the [Ab] kingdom, you know how to feel real.
You [G] know that it's true and [Ab] it's the will you feel.
[Dbm] _ _ [Ab] _
[Eb] _ [Ebm] The truth and the way have been revealed.
_ You feel [G] Solomon, you feel [Ab] someone's seal. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ [Ab] _ [Eb] _
_ [Ebm] Everywhere you turn, if you walk through the valley in the shadows, you'll feel nothing
[Eb] cause you [Ab]
know _ that perfection is real and you'll be protected with the shield.
And what you [Gb] see?
Black, you're the _ _ _ [Ab]
greatest man _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab]
in the world.
_ _ _ [Ebm] _ _
_ If you wanna get next to me, _ I wanna tell you that your feeling [Ab] can be.
Ain't nothing [Ebm] stopping [Ab] you _ [Ebm]
from [Db] doing that you can't [D] do.
[Eb] _ _
[Ebm] _ Get yourself free.
There's no difference between [Bb] nothing and long as [Ab] we're all living in the same place. _ _ _
_ You _ [D] [Eb] can put miles and [Ebm] miles between us now, [Eb] _ but we're [Gb] still living here in the _ [Abm] _ [Ab] same _ _ moment.
When you feel down, I'm gonna tell you about [Eb] it.
_ [Ebm] _
Lord, I'm still so [Fm] glad _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ that you're here.
_ I wanna _ _ _ [B] tell you.
