_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I was [Ab] born [Eb] _ _ in a tale of angels _ _ by the _ sea
_ In the year [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] 1974
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
And time [Ab] for Christmas [Eb] _ [Abm] to _ my [Eb] [Ab] father, you [Eb] and [Bb] mother [Eb] and a _ dream _
For a while I wore a horn in the ways of _ Jesus _ _
Served me _ _ _ well in the [Bb] bed of sin
_ [Ab] Come _ [Eb] to find _ [G] _
Jesus _ [Ab] doesn't need us
[Abm] _
To [Eb] be [Ab] anymore [Eb] than we [Bb] need [Eb] him to _ be _
I first thought _ like they know about heaven _
I _ can't _ _ _ help but [Bb] see the sin
[Ab] _
We _ [Eb] could pull that thread [Db] and make two cross [Ab] to feed us
[Abm] _
So [Eb] all that [Ab] I [Eb] know is all [Bb] I [Eb] fell to need _
I _ was born [Ab] _
[Eb] in a tale of _ [Ab] angels _ [Cm] by [Eb] the _ sea _
In the [F] year [Bb] _ _ _ [Ab] 1974
_ _ [Eb] _ _ 1974 [G] _
and [Ab] time for Christmas
_ [Abm] _ _
[Eb] To my [Ab] father, [Eb] you and [Bb] mother [Eb] and a dream _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] I was that war, _ _ that wild religion _ _
It _ revealed _ _ _ itself [Bb] to me
_ [Ab] And it slapped [Eb] me so to _ [G] make some [Ab] good _ decisions
[Abm] _ _
Give [Eb] me years [Ab] to hear [Eb] and as [Bb] I wish [Eb] to _ _ see _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ [Eb] _ _
Oh, when I heard talk _ _ about a hell beneath _ _ _ us
Fire's burn _ _ for _ [Bb] eternity
_ _ [Ab] _ _
But [Eb] we're all just [Gm] dust to [G]
lose around [Ab] and see
_ [Ebm] _ [Abm] So _ [Eb] all that I know is all [Bb] I fell [Eb] to need
_ _ I _ [F] was born _ in a tale of angels _ _ by the _ _ sea
In [Bb] the year [C] _ 1978
_ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [F] _ 1974 _ [A] _ and [Ab] [Bb] time for Christmas
_ _ [Bbm] _ To [F] my [Bb] father, you [F] and [C] mother _ [F] and a dream
_ To _ my [Bb] father, you [F] and [C] mother [F] and a dream _ _ _ _ _
