[E] I [G] went back [Bm] to my little town, [A] _ saw the river [E] and I drifted. _
Down [G] past Mosquito [B] Beach I stayed just out of [A] reach, while the cottonwood [E] _ swayed.
[A] _ _ The Catholics [Gbm] prayed, [Dbm] over [B] us seen as a door.
_ _ [A] _ When [Em] I could [B] wander no [Abm] more, I [B] headed for the shore.
_ [Db] Then your name came [B] to my [A] lips, _ [E] it took me [G] a _
[Bm] year.
The [E] gospel's a liar.
[A] _ [Ab] _
[E] _ _ [A] _ [Ab] _ [E] _ _ [A] _ [Ab] _
[E] _ _ [A] _ I imagined myself walking down the [D] street, and saw me a [G] devil on [E] the right, not on the [A] left.
[Ab] _
[E] _ _ [A] _ _ Walking up to the very first [D] person, I knew it [G] ain't I.
[E] _ _ [A] _ [Ab]
[E] Saying _ [A] _ _ [B] _ to my stranger, hey man, this gospel [E] is what I [A] need.
[Ab] _
[E] _ _ [A] _ [B] The stranger speaks in a liquid voice as I imagined an angel [G] might [E] speak, and it's this.
[A] _ [Ab] _
[E] _ _ [A] He [B] says, oh, [E] oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [A] _ [Ab] _
[E] _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ oh, [E] oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [A] oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

So I [G] went back [B] to my little [A] town, climbed a tree [E] and had a look. _ _
There [G] goes old Singing [Bm] John without his helmet [A] on.
And the rice [E] fields are burning, _
[A] _ _ the feather seeds are [E] churning, under [B] the Tennessee bridge.
[A] _ _ _
[B] There's an S.I. _ [E] _ [B] 701s, [Abm] they're the truth.
_ [Dbm] [Db] And come to my [Dbm]
[A] mind, _ _ _ [E] the [G] _ _
[Bm] _ _ [A] gospel's [E] alive.
[A] _ [Abm] _
[E] _ _ [A] _ [Ab] _ [E] _ _ [A] _ [Ab] _
[E] _ _ [A] _ I can imagine myself standing in a [D] tree in some little town,
[E] _ _ [A] _ _
[E] _ _ [A] _ _ shouting out to the whole wide world.
[Am] I'm going to [E] sing it.
[A] _ _
[E] _ _ [A] And [B] I said to the world, hey world,
it's time for you to let out [E] my feeling.
[A] _ _
[E] _ _ [A] _ [E] The [B] world speaks to the world in voices I imagine the world might speak.
[E] _ _ _ [D] _
[E] _ _ [A] _ [B] This is a time, damn, _ [E] I got it from your teeth.
[A] _ _
[E] _ _ [A] This [E] is [B] a time, damn, I [E] got it from your teeth.
[A] _ _
[E] _ _ [A] _ _ [B] Thank God I'm not as sensitive as I used to be.
[A] Well, I think I'll get up.
I think I'll get up.
I think I'll get up [E] and stand in my tree.
