_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ I want to see the sun [Eb] rise You don't got to stay with me, dear
[F] I want to be by myself [Bb] tonight I got an invitation _ from a man named Gene
Richards [Eb] He said, go to the tower, boy, [F] and that's
where I'm gonna meet you [Bb] So when I got to the tower, _ I climbed all the
stairs [Eb] _ Sixty-two thousand and seventy-three, [F] if I remember
it well _ [Bb] To the top I go, _ like everyone I know
_ [Eb] _ When I opened my [F] eyes, all I could see [Bb] was the sunrise _ _ _ _ _
Yes, all I could see [Eb] was the sunrise
_ [F] _ _ _ I _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ took a train to the desert, _ had to find me an old friend
[Eb] I never knew he was a doctor, _ [F] I never knew he was a codeman
[Bb] He told me all about Jesus and how he used to be a prisoner _
[Eb] Until he got an invitation [F] _ to go up to the tower
_ _ [Bb] So when he got to the tower, he let down all his head
[Eb] From his head all the way to his [F] toes, if I remember it well
_ _ [Bb] Don't remember what he had to say, I don't give a damn either way
[Eb] _
_ So when he opened his [F] eyes, just like me, all he could see [Bb] was the sunrise _
_ _ _ Yes, all he could see [Eb] was the sunrise
_ [F] Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho
_ _ _ You guys [F] wanna hear about the dream? _
Yeah!
[Bb] So when I, uh, when I came into the dream, I was in the desert
_ This happened a couple months ago
_ [Eb] _ And in front of me was a long pile of footprints
[F] Of one man, I assumed it was a man
So _ _ [Bb] I followed them, and I kept following them
It didn't seem like days, and in a time, in a dream, there's no time
You can sleep for twenty minutes and you go through the whole lifetime
[Eb] _ And so I followed them and followed them
And [F] I finally come across an oasis about a half mile away that I could see
_ [Bb] And it was just like the movies, there was palm trees and there was a small body of water
[Eb] _ Some birds flying around, [F] and a man in a white robe _
That I just assumed was Jesus, and I was right
I said, Jesus?
Is that you?
_ _ And he said, yes son, I am Jesus
I said, what are you doing in my dream, man?
We don't talk that much
_ _ And now I'm thinking, maybe we do talk that _ _ _ _ _ much
And he says, come on down here, I got something to say
So I [Bb] cut him off, I said, hey man, you dad's pretty cool
I appreciate everything he's done
[Eb] _ It's all about love, right?
And he said, yes, it is all about love
_ _ [F] _ And he told me, he said, I got one thing to tell you son
If you get the life, you keep carrying it on, you pass it on, you do the right thing
I said, thank you Jesus
And then he asked me if I was thirsty
_ [Eb] And he handed me a nice cold Bud Light and I chugged it
[F] _ _ _ _
And he picked him up a nice [Eb] cold apple cider _
_ [F] _ _ And he sipped it _ _
[Eb] _ _ And he said, sayonara sucker
[F]
And he turned into a lizard and scooted off, I didn't say it _
I told this at a show [Bb] a month ago
And the lady said, when you have a lizard in your dream, it's a sign of a visionary character _
That's in your presence
_ _ I sarcastically said, no shit
[Eb] _ And then it got me thinking, so I dreamed a crazy thing
_ [Bb] _ I _
_ [F] _ wanna [Bb] _ die in the holy land
_ I wanna love like Jesus _
I think I wanna be a better man
[F] I think I'm gonna be a better man
[Bb] But no matter how the whistle blows
I only know one way to [Eb] go
_ I'm going to my [F] town
_ So I can see me [Eb] the sunrise
Yes, I'm going to [F] the town
So I can see me [Bb] the sunrise _ _ _
_ So I can see me [Eb] the sunrise
