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