[Em] [D]
Moses tending sheep in the fields one day.
[A#] [G] He thought he heard a [D] burning scrub brush say,
[A] Gotta free your [F#m] people from the Pharaoh's hand.
[Bm] Gotta take them all to [A] the promised land.
[A] Moses knew that God [Am] was talking to [D] him.
[G] So, he set off to Egypt [E] with a vigor and vim.
[D] And Moses bugged the Pharaoh.
So, he bugged him and he [A] bugged him,
till he got his people [D] freed.
He used real bugs.
[G] Yes, indeed.
Ow, ow.
[D] He got his people freed.
Ow, ow, [A] ow, ow.
Ow, [D] ow, ow, ow.
Moses on [A] the banks of [D] the wide Red Sea,
he [G] stuck out his stick and [D] one, two, [A] three,
the water rolled [F#m] back and the people walked [Bm] down.
Everybody knew [A] they wouldn't drown.
[D] Pharaoh [A] told his army to bring them all back.
And [G] here come the [E] chariots, [B] clickety-clack.
While [D] Moses took his [G] stick and he [E] closed up the water,
[A] Egyptians all [D] took a bath.
Ow, ow, [G] ow, ow.
What a laugh.
Ow, [D] they all took a bath.
Ow, ow, [A] ow, ow.
Ow, ow, [D] ow, ow.
Dirty Egyptians.
Grab my foot, [F#] take my [B] hand,
lead me on [G] to the promised land.
[Bm]
[G] Milk [A] and honey, [D]
milk and honey, [G] milk [A] and [D] honey.
All [F#] my people is [B] there,
so keep on sending manna from the [G] atmosphere.
[Bm]
Milk and honey, [G] milk [A] and honey, [D]
milk and honey, [G] milk [A] and honey.
[D]
After 40 long years in the wilderness,
[G] they finally saw their [D] potential metropolis.
[A]
They all gave thanks [F#m] and they all praised the Lord.
[Bm]
Even though it took [A] time, he kept his word.
[D] He grabbed their foot and he took their [F#] hand
[G] and he brought them [D] all over [E] to the promised land.
[D]
But it seems [Gm] to me like [E] an awful long [A] time to be looking [D] for a home.
Ow, ow, [G] ow, ow.
A mighty long road [D] home.
Looking for a home, a home, a home.
[A] Never borrow money needlessly.
