jesus - Curtis Mayfield (There's No Place Like America).wmv chords
Start Jamming...
[Gb] Maybe the words I say is just another way to pray.
[Ebm]
Don't think that I'm innocent,
cause I can't do nothing for you.
I only asked of you [Gb] just because I had to do it myself.
Look into your inner self.
[Ebm] Only you know how to be free.
If you want to grin, let it smile.
Feel a little happy, go on, dance a while.
[Ab] Ain't nobody play down God's loving child.
Cause when the spirit hits you, [Abm] you got to move.
And just as he made us one of [Gb] many,
then aren't the many of us maybe only one?
Surely can he be the rising sun,
the depth of [Eb] night, the light for sight.
Sort of sets the moral standards of soul.
Gives you the [Ab] strength to pay the price of life.
And rewards you with a bit of fulfillment.
[Abm] The definition of truth,
he is more real than you, isn't he?
[Gb]
Oh man, your doctor must have been a heavenly man.
[Ebm] Jesus!
Lot of inspiration all over this land, [Gb] Jesus.
Smite up your fears, you can shed [Ebm] happy tears, Jesus.
Don't care what you're calling, none can be falling.
Hear me [Ab] say amen.
Amen, amen.
Hear me say amen.
Amen, amen.
Now stand [Abm] up and clap your hands.
Amen, amen, amen, [Gb] amen.
A traveling soul, the way the story goes.
[Eb]
We all know he was crucified,
but what he gave us never will die.
He [Ab] never had a hustling mind.
Doing crime, wasting time.
Drinking [Abm] that wine.
Drinking that wine.
Drinking it, drinking it, drinking it, drinking it, drinking it.
[Gb] You need courage in time of fear,
because of undying news you hear.
Talk [B] about Jesus.
Talk about Jesus.
[Gb] Strengthen past new temptation.
Don't want to lose a loved relation.
Talk [Abm] about Jesus.
Talk about Jesus.
He [Ab] never had a hustling mind.
Doing crime, wasting time.
Drinking [Abm] that wine.
Drinking that wine.

[Ebm] [B] it.

[Gb] [B] [Gb]
The world I see before me is trying to make me a slave.
[Ebm] Jesus.
Then to see my children hungry, I'd rather go to my grave.
[Gb] Jesus.
The loving way of life has terribly been arranged.
Jesus.
[Ebm] Something's not right, not wrong.
And it seems awful strange, just [Ab] like a lack of gift.
There are those that fear a body man.
We who are already [Abm] here.
[B] Look ahead, look ahead, look ahead.
You [Gb] need courage in time of fear,
because of undying news you hear.
[B] Talk about Jesus.
