_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[C] [Eb] Well, when I write [Fm] songs, I don't get up every day and just start writing songs.
I go out [Eb] and live my life, and when [Bb] things happen, you know, I keep a notebook [Cm] in my
back pocket and I write down things that happened [F] during the day, and I just make songs [Fm] out of them.
And that's it.
I wish I had [C] a more fancy way of describing it, but that's about it.
_ _ _ [Fm] You know, it's my first time to be on E-Town, and since I've been here, [Eb] they've treated
me real good.
They [G] refurbished this old church and they've [Cm] made it into something really [Eb] special.
And [F] I've looked on the [Bb] walls and seen all the people [Cm] that's been here, and I'm getting
to [F] be on it.
What more can you ask [C] for?
It's a wonderful [Eb] experience.
It's a good show.

_ [Cm] _ _ [C] _ I saw a black man with a Bible and a sparkler in [Gm] his hand.
He [C] was holding a tender Bible [Cm] [Gm] and running [G] a firework stand.
He [C] said, the end of the world is coming, so you [Fm] better [F] get on your feet.
Today, [C] a bottle of rock gets you two for one, [G] but [C] salvation's free. _
He said, I quit my [F] job at a big [Cm] shed with a [C] milk and money float [Dm] to [Cm] sell [C] cherry vines
for Jesus [G] in a tent beside the road.
[C] I ain't in it for the money [F] most cops pass on by, [C] but I pay the rent on New Year's [G] and
the 4th of [C] July.
I hear a rattle from the glory ghost, holy ghost, Big Bang Theory, Big Bang Theory, Pentecostal,
Pentecostal, fire and brimstone, fire and brimstone, mission [G] temple fireworks [Gm] stand. _
[C] He said, fireworks are dangerous, they can blow up in your face, so you better read the
instructions, [G] light the fuse and get away.
[C] These things are made in China, [F] so it's easy to see [C] how a man who worships Buddha [G] ain't
got no [C] guarantee.
This is a holy ghost, holy ghost, Big Bang Theory, Big Bang Theory, Pentecostal, Pentecostal,
fire and brimstone, fire and brimstone, mission [G] temple [C] fireworks stand. _

[F] He said, everything I'm [Bb] selling is [F] all going up in [E] smoke.
[F] This world is like an [B] atom [C] bomb, it's ready to [E] explode.
[F] When the trumpet sounds and the Lord comes back, I promise you one thing, [Gb] I'll [G] be a human
bottle rocket [Gb] and [G] I'll go out with a bang.
I'll [C] leave this holy ghost, holy ghost, Big Bang Theory, Big Bang Theory, Pentecostal,
Pentecostal, fire and brimstone, fire and brimstone, mission [G] temple fireworks [C] stand.
One more time.
I'll leave this holy ghost, holy ghost, Big Bang Theory, Big Bang Theory, Pentecostal,
