The smoke witch says Wahoo!

And the wise man says me too!

And the guru says wazoo!

[Verse 1]
     C
The priests stand in their pulpits

    Am
The Pope sits on his throne

     F
The parishes are empty

        G
And the choirboys' on their own

Em
Until the second coming

             F
Yes they're leaving us alone

    C   G/B     Am
And God in his Heaven

    Em             G
Has decided to keep mum

             F             C
Because He's just another traveler

       G                Am
On the Road to Kingdom Come

When all is said and done

           Am          G  Am
He's just another one
[Verse 2]
C
I pity Mr. President

Am
He can't do a thing

F
He says every where he went

    G
We tried to make him sing

     Em
Our lonely White House resident

        F
Says we should have made him King

      C       G/B         Am
Maybe then he could have saved us

          Em                 G
From the truth we're hiding from

          F             C
But he's just another traveler

       G               Am
On the Road to Kingdom Come

             G
When all is said and done

             Am            G  Am
He was just another one
[Verse 3]
      C
The General's in his game room

         Am
But his soldier won't salute

     F
Ever since he was promoted

    G
He can't pop his chute

     Em
His shrink says he is paranoid

          F
'Bout communistic roots

     C    G/B   Am
So unfurl the flag boys

       Em          G
Start beating his drum

             F               C
We've got to get another straggler

        G               Am
On the road to kingdom come

             G
When all is said and done

             Am               G           Gsus  G
He was just another one, yes another one
[Chorus]
         C
And the smoke witch says Wahoo!

And the wise man says me too!

          F         C
And the guru says wazoo!

   F   G       C
So do what you do!
[Verse 4]
         C
Wow! The lead singer's raucous

        Am
As he screams out the truth

        F
And the band holds a caucus

       G
And decides to sell their youth

     Em
Our manager he'll hawk us

    F
As long as we're uncouth

           C    G/B           Am
And we'll call it revolution

          Em                G
But we'll crank out bubble gum

                    F                  C
'Cause that's the marching tune for travelers

       G                Am
On the road to kingdom come

            G
When all is said and done

             Am                G  Am
They're just some other ones
[Verse 5]
        C
Grampa swung into the orgy

    Am
It was his last hope

         F
He was dressed to the nines

        G
In deodorant and Scope

        Em
And he found him a woman

                F
She'd brought Vaseline and soap

         C      G/B     Am
Well it started out exciting

        Em         G
But it ended up ho-hum

             F                      C
She said I thought that you could take me

        G               Am
All the way to kingdom come

              G
When all was said and done

               Am                  G  Am
You were just another one Grampa
[Verse 6]
C
So Billy sells hot sermons

    Am
And cold wars through the mails

      F
While Mr. Big is selling out

        G
His business never fails

          Em
And King Kennedy like Chaucer

         F
Chasing Canterbury Tales

               C       G/B      Am
And though my brain is still a virgin

     Em                G
The rest of me's well done

           F                     C
Don't you know we're all just travelers

        G               Am
On the road to kingdom come

            G
When all is said and done

            Am
Yeah, just another one

       G              Gsus  G
Yes, another one...
[Chorus]
     C
The smoke witch says Wahoo!

        G
And the wise man says me too!

         F          C
And the guru says wazoo!

   G           Am
So do what you do!

G
Do what you do, do what you do

Am
Do what you do
