_ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] A tender blade _ _ [G] of grass so green, _ [Gb] _ [Ebm] crushed in the footprint _
[F] _ of the lazarine, _ _ [Bbm] _
sprang [Ab] back
and waved a message [Gb] _ to a bird on the wing.
_ [Bb] _ That's [Eb]
him.
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[Ab] In a muddy old river, _ _ [G]
in the _ noonday [Ebm] sun, an outcast kept crying.
_ [F] Oh, I tell you, he's the [Bbm] one.
A [Db] voice out of heaven [Gb] _ said, I'm pleased with my [Ab]
son.
_ [Eb] That's _ him. _
_ _ _ _ _ Angry waves, _ _ [G] _ they're splashing everywhere.
[Ebm] _ The Lord is asleep in the boat.
[C] _
Does [F] he really [Bbm] care?
We're [Db] all so _ afraid, and he [Bbm] just keeps lying [Eb] there.
But that's him.
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] He raised his hands _ _ [G] _ above his head.
[Gb] He said, [Ebm] peace be still, [C] and _ [F] the waters _
[Bbm] bled.
A wave [Db] tapped the wind on the [Gb]
shoulder and said, _ _ [Ab] shh. _
_ Cause that's him. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ebm] That's him. _
[Ab] _ That's him.
_ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ There'll be two at [C] work in a field, _ [Abm] _ and one will be [Eb] left, the [Bb] other caught [Ebm] away.
_ _ _ [Gb] _ To his [B] knees, oh, it's too [Ab] late, he'll say.
_ _ [Eb] _ _ Cause [Ab]
that's him.
[Db] And then with one foot on the [C] sea and on the shore, [Abm] _
you see, he's declaring that [Eb] time, it will [Bb] never be [Ebm] anymore.
But from then, [Gb] well, sorry _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ for [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] his shame.
[Gb] _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ebm] He's out, [Eb] oh, Reagan, _ the [Ab] beginning and the [Db] end.
_ That's _ him.
_ [Bb] _ _ _
He's [Ebm] out, oh, Reagan, [Eb] the beginning [Ab] and the _ [Db] end. _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ [Gb] That's him. _ _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Ladies _ _ _ _ _ [Db]
and gentlemen, [Eb] would you love the hoppers [Ab] this afternoon and let them know how much?
