[A]
Once I got to the mountain top, only what I could see,
Were a pool of souls running from the priests of iniquity.
[Am]
Where the [A] hell was Elijah?
And what did he [Am] do?
The prophecy he came was true.
[A]
[Am] We [A#]
got to take the [F#m] walls of [G] [Am] Jericho,
[Dm]
And get [Am] left together and broke.
[Dm]
From the [F#] very [D] top,
[F#]
[Dm]
Say the [Am] truth,
[Dm] Mr.
[C]
Larson,
[Dm]
Black jewels,
[C]
[Dm] And the [C] rock,
[Dm]
And the rock,
[Am]
[D] Falling on the [Am] sea,
Carving on the tablet [Dm] of [Am] LSD,
[D]
[Am] Out in Tennessee,
[E] [G] [F#m] [Am]
Down in the street,
Blood was washing down [Dm] on the gravel [D] to the feet,
Down [Am] in the pit,
[G#] [G] [F#m] [C]
[Em] [A]
Crying in a dream,
Crossed battlefield, crashing [F#m] on a downtown [G] strip,
[A]
Looking in the eyes of the diamonds and the spies in the hip,
[D] [Am]
[F#m] Who's sponsoring
[A] the clock ghetto?
Who's [Am] lecturing?
Who's in the [A] now and in the tomorrow?
[Am] We better take the walls of [D] Jericho,
[Am]
[Dm]
And get left together and [Am]
broke.
[Dm]
From [Am] the very top,
[Dm] Say the truth,
[Am] Mr.
Larson,
[F#m] [Em] Black [F] [C] jewels,
[Dm]
And the rock,
[C]
[F] [C] [Dm]
And the rock,
[A] The eagles are [Am] reeking,
God, I'm making a [Dm] new friend out of old [Em] [F#] enemies.
Back [Em] in [A] Tennessee,
[G#m] [G] [G#] [Am]
Down in the pit,
Crying in a [Dm] dream,
[Am] [D]
Down [Am] in the street,

Down in the street,
Blood was washing down on the gravel to the feet,

[G#] [G] [F#m] [Am]
[Dm]
[Am]
We
[G#] [G] [F#] [Am]
need to eat,
[Dm] We gotta chew it over with our wisdom [Am] teeth,
