For a while I walked           in the ways of Jesus

Served me well          enough it seems

           Eb Ebsus4 Eb                   Eb Ebsus4 Eb
I was at war            with that wild religion

          Eb Ebsus4 Eb               Bb Bbsus2 Ab
And it revealed            itself to me

                    Eb            Eb7              Ab Ab/Bb Abm/B
And it slapped me sore enough to make some good decisions

        Eb       Ab       Eb       Bb       Eb Ebsus4 Eb
Give me ears to hear and eyes by which to see
[Verse 4]
                     Eb Ebsus4 Eb
Oh, and I had heard talk (I heard talk)

                Eb Ebsus4 Eb
'Bout a hell beneath us (Hell beneath us)

       Eb Ebsus4 Eb
Fires burn (Fires burn)

          Bb Bbsus2 Ab
For eternity (Eternity)

           Eb                  Eb7           Ab    Ab/Bb Abm/B
