[F] [Ebm] Well, [Ab] I wrote this [B] song around the new turn of the new [G] millennium which
It seems a long time ago now
that [B] was before 9-11 and everything and
Remember when we were all kind of like
_ hunkered down
[Eb] _ [D] Waiting for something terrible to [Abm] happen
And [G] _ _ we thought all the computers are gonna crash.
I
remember that they were like sold out at the at like
You know the
Local like home improvement store was [Ab] sold out of like [B] generators
And then they had a run on _ [F] _ _ [E] shotguns
What _ [Gm] _
[E] a statement on neighborliness, you [Gb] know [G] something happens everyone for [Eb] themselves
_ _ _ _ And _ of course [N] back then nothing happened, you know
And I was uh, I do remember having a little sense of a little [G] sixth sense of discipline
_ [Eb] _ _ But anyway [Abm] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ [Gm] _
this this is [Ab] inspired by the new millennium _
Which is uh, you know, we count the years
_ In a system given to [Gbm] us by the Christian Church, so I thought that this is _ _ _ [B] a little song about a birth
[Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ I [Bbm] saw the Buddha
[Db] Open up his eyes
one [Ab] Sunday morning _
[Eb] Say _ _ he's [Bbm] invited to [Db] a party for Christ
He [Ab] must be going _
[Eb] He [Bbm] _ [Gb] himself [Db] the grown [Eb] standing slowly
Came [Gb] down [Db] those steps of [Ab] stone
_ [Eb] [Bbm] Asked me [Gb] where [Db] to catch the next [Eb] train [Ab] to Jerusalem
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ _ [Db] _ Whoa
_ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ In India same with [Db] Hindus as they pray by the [Ab] Ganges when the dog came
_ [D] [Eb] Near _ _ [Bbm] Arabia, he saw Muhammad [Db] on the train
[Ab] That's if he would join him
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] [Gb] Now I see [Db] those teeming towns [Ab] they talk for hours
[Bbm] All [Gb] about [Db] truth [Ab] how it's discovered
[Bbm] _ [Ab] [Gb] Trading [Ab] bits of [Db] news and [Ab] stories from this thousand [Eb] year _ _
[Gb] saying great idea this [Db] party [Eb] for [Ab] _ Jesus
_ [Eb] _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ Said [Db] hey Buddha, it's great to [Ab] see
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ Finding the [Bbm] place [Eb] the [Db] help of Abraham _ [Ab] waving from the doorway
_ _ [Eb] _ They greeted [Bbm] faces from a thousand [Db] holy lands present [Ab] day and all
_ _ [F] [Bb] Everybody [Gb] _ [Db] talking laughing [Eb] [Ab] Seriously
[Bbm] Say [Eb] [Gb] not [Db] desperately [Ab] the world is changing [Bbm] _ [Bb] [Gb] Then [Db] somebody [Eb] to [Ab] found [Eb] candle _ _
[Gb] and they toasted
[Ebm] _ [Db] Jesus born in [Ab] stable _ [Eb] and _ _
_ [Gb] _ Jesus said [Db] hey, let's not be such [Ab] strange _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
I
_ [Eb] _ _ Saw
[Bbm] _
_ [Eb] Open up [Db] his eyes [Eb] once anymore
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[N] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _
