Oh well Elijah he's so mighty number
[F]
[Gm] [F]
[G]
[F]
Three gates in the east, three gates in the west
Three gates in the north, three gates in the south
[Dm] [F] Twelve gates to the city of square one
I lived the thought of mine when I saw my number
Way up in the middle of the air
I saw my number way [G] in the middle of [F] the air
Old John declared that he saw a man
He had [C] twelve bright [F] stars up ahead of him
Well his eyes flashed fire like a burning sun
Old John got scared and he wanted to run
Well he wanted to run but his feet wouldn't go
Felt the gospel coming like a two-week sun
Then he heard a voice, said John you take a look
And read what you see, you're writing in a movie song
Twelve angels in the east, twelve angels in the west
Twelve angels in the north, twelve angels in the south
Morning angels to the city of square one
I lived the thought of mine when I saw my number
Way up in [F] the middle of the air
[F#m]
Well you rock my [E] soul down in the dirt
[A] [E] Rock my soul down in the dirt
[A] Rock [E] my soul down [B] in the dirt
[E] Oh you rock my soul
Down in the dirt
[A]
[E] You rock my soul
Down in the dirt
[A]
[D] [E] Well the rich man lives
[B] He lives so well
[E] Children when he [B] dies
I'm a homie
[E] Why don't you rock my soul
Down in the dirt
[A] Why
[E]
[A] [E] don't you rock
Oh you rock
[A]
[E] [B] Why [B] don't you rock my [E] soul
