[Bm]
Man, you should have seen me way back [Em] then.
[Bm] I could tell a tale, I could make it spin.
[F#]
[F#m] I could [Em] tell you black was white.
I could [Bm] tell you day was night.
Not only that, I could tell [F#] you why.
Back then, I could really tell [Bm] a lie.
Well, I'd hire a kid to say that he was [Em] lame.
Then I'd [Bm] touch him and I'd make him walk again.
[F#]
[A] Then [Em] I'd pull some magic trick.
I'd [Bm] pretend to heal the sick.
I was taking everything they had to [F#] give.
It wasn't all that bad a way to live.
[Bm]
Well, I'm in this desert town and it's hot as [Em] hell.
[Bm] But no one's buying what I got to sell.
[F#]
[Em] I make my lame kid walk.
[Bm] I make a dumb guy talk.
I'm preaching up a storm both night and [F#] day.
But everyone just turns and walks [Bm] away.
Well, I can see that I'm only wasting [Em] time.
So I [Bm] head across the road to drink some [F#] wine.
This [Em] old man comes up to me.
He says, I [Bm] seen you on the street.
You're pretty good, if I do say so [F#] myself.
But the guy come through last month, he was something [Bm] else.
Instead of calling out for fire from [Em] above,
he [Bm] just gets real quiet and talks about [F#] love.
And [Em] I'll tell you something funny.
He [Bm] didn't want nobody's money.
Now, I'm not exactly sure what this all [F#] means.
But it's the damnedest thing I swear I've ever [Bm] seen.
[Em] [Bm]
Well, since that time, every town's the [Em] same.
I [Bm] can't make a dime.
I don't know why I [F#] came.
[Em] I decide I'll go and find him [Bm] and find out who's behind him.
He has everyone convinced that he's for [F#] real.
Well, I figure we can work us out a [Bm] deal.
So he offers me a job, and I [Em] say fine.
[Bm] He says I'll get paid off on down the [F#] line.
Well, [Em] I guess I'll string along.
Don't see how [Bm] too much can go wrong.
As long as he pays my way, I guess I'll [F#] follow.
We're headed for Jerusalem [Bm] tomorrow.
[Em] Oh, [Bm]
[F#] oh, [Bm] oh, oh.
