[C] [Bm] [Am] [C]
[D] Somewhere in Vietnam a 19 [Bm] year old soldier [D] walked out [C] of a bar room and he said I [G] must
be seeing [Am] things that bourbon [C] hit me like a [Gm] baseball [D] bat.
In Belfast, Ireland a [Bm] little lady [D] dropped her shovel [C] in her garden.
She raced [G] across the yard and [Am] asked her neighbor, [C] Mrs.
Clancy, [D] what was that?
In Memphis, [C#] Tennessee [D] a teacher [Bm] raised the window [D] closest [C] to the river.
And the children [G] in her classroom [A] swore [Am] they heard a choir [G] singing [D] down the street.
In Washington, D.C. a [Bm] private [D] secretary's lips [C] began to quiver.
And the president [G] just put aside [F] his papers and [C] rose quickly to [D] his feet.
[E] I lay in a [D#] cheap [C#m] motel in the [E] arms of someone [D] else's woman.
When a loud explosion rocked [Bm] the room and turned [D] the morning [E] into night.
I jumped [G#m] out of bed and [C#m] ran into the [E] street with hardly [D] any clothes on.
As the sky lit up [F#m] my heart stood still [Bm] and I could feel [D] my face was [E] turning white.
[A] All at once the [C#m] clouds rolled [F#m] back and there stood Jesus [A] Christ [E] in all his glory.
And I realized [G#m] the saddest eyes [C#m] I had ever seen [E] were looking straight at [B] me.
[F#] [B]
I [D] guess I was awakened [Bm] by the penetrating [D] sound of my own [C] scream.
And it didn't take me [G] long to stumble [Am] out of bed [C] and fall down [D] on my knees.
As tears rolled down [C#m] my face I cried, [Bm] dear God I'm thankful [D] I was [C] only dreaming.
And if I never go [G] to hell Lord [Am] it'll be because you scared it [D] out of me.
