INTRO Em
Em Moses up on the mountainside D What a place to meet Em He brought his pad and his pencil D Poured himself some gypsum tea Am D All the world's multiplicity G Em Turned his brain and his soul to stone F Am He drew his face on a tablet F G And carried it back home Em Jesus off in the water D Standing on his feet Em Yeah, that's the thing about charisma D It makes everyone believe Am D That there is nothing impossible G Em When I'm with you and when you're with me F Am I got a sad sinking feeling F G That that can never be Am D But I'm going to do what I can for you G I will make a plea Am D To all the lights in the windows Em The puddles in the streets C D And all the lovers that you've been teasing G C From your balcony Am D G May they carry you far from my memory Em Solomon heard a protest D From the lower court Em Reached in his ear for a silver dollar D Just like he'd done before Am D He tossed it high said that wisdom's fickle G Em And chance is God's retort F Am And handed down the sentence F G It was death by Trojan horse Em Pharaoh woke from a bad dream D Splashed some water on his face Em When it's a matter of nightmares you had D Better ask a slave Am D And he may tell you a famine's coming G Em Or he may look away F Am If he's kind then return it F G Let him lick your plate Am D But I'm going to do what I can for you G I will make a plea Am D To all the birds in the chimneys Em The whales up on the beach C D And all the footsteps that you've been hearing G C Like a timpani Am D G May they carry you far from your enemies
BRIDGE Em, D, Em, D
Am D But I'm going to do what I can for you G I will make a plea Am D To all the lights in the windows Em The puddles in the streets C D And all the hours that you've been sitting G C At your vanity Am D Em May they carry you far from your misery Am D May they carry you far Em Jesus off in the water D Standing on his feet Em Yeah, that's the thing about charisma D It makes everyone believe Am D That there is nothing impossible G Em When I'm with you and when you're with me F Am I got a sad sinking feeling F Am I got a sad sinking feeling F Am G I got a sad sinking feeling that will never be
OUTRO Em, D, Em, D (Repeat as necessary)
