In these parts without chords they're singing acapella, play along the song and
you'll figure it out :)
G7 You all know the Bible C7 G7 Is made of Testaments old and new G You been told it's just those two parts A7 D7 Or only one if you're a Jew G7 But what if I were to tell you C7 G7 There's a fresh third part out there G Which was found by a hip new prophet D Who had a little Donny Osmond flair? D7 G7 C7 G7 Have you heard of the All-American Prophet? G7 C7 D G7/D The blonde-haired, blue-eyed voice of God D D Db C7 Am7 He didn't come from the Middle East F7 D7 Like those other holy men C Am Fmaj7 G Bbsus2 Bbsus2 Bsus2 Csus2 F F# G No, God's favorite prophet was All-American F F# G I'm gonna take you back to Biblical times, 1823
An American man named Joe living on a farm
In the holy land of Rochester, New York
You mean the Mormon Prophet Joseph Smith?
That's right, that young man spoke to God
He spoke to God, and God said
"Joe, people really need to know that the Bible
Isn't two parts, there's a part three to the Bible, Joe
And I, God, have anointed you to dig up this part three
That is buried by a tree on a hill in your backyard"
Wow, God says go to your backyard and start digging?
That makes perfect sense
G7 Joseph Smith went up on that hill C/G G7 And dug where he was told G7 And deep in the ground A7 D7 Joseph found shining plates of gold G7 "What are these Golden Plates? C7/G G7 Who buried them here and why?" G Then appeared an Angel F F# G His name was Moroni "I am Moroni" G7 C/G The All-American Angel G7 C7 D My people lived here long, long ago Db7 C Am7 This is a history of my race F7 D7 Please read the words within C Am Fmaj7 We were Jews who met with Christ G Bbsus2 Bbsus2 Bsus2 Csus2 But we were All-American F/C C But don't let anybody see these plates except for you C7 They are only for you to see C6 Even if people ask you to show the Plates to them, don't C6 Just copy them onto normal paper C6 Even though this might make them question Caug If the Plates are real or not C5 F F# G This is sort of what God is going for G7 Joseph took the Plates home C/G G7 And wrote down what he found inside G7 He turned those Plates into a book A7 D7 Then he rushed into town and cried G7 "Hey, God spoke to me and gave me C/G G7 This blessed ancient tome G5 He hath commanded me to publish it Bbsus2 Bsus2 Csus2 And stick it in every home" C Wow, so the Bible is actually a trilogy
And The Book of Mormon is Return of the Jedi?
F F# G I'm interested
N.C.
Now many people didn't believe the Prophet Joseph Smith
They thought he'd made up this part three
That was buried by a tree on the hill in his backyard
G7 "Liar" But Joe said "This is no lie G7 C/G G7 Speak to God all the time and he told me to head West"
"So I'll take my part three from the hill with the tree
F#7 G7 Feel free if you'd like to come along with me F#7 G7 To the Promised Land"
"The Promised Land?"
"Paradise on the West Coast
G Nothing but fruit and fields as far as the eye can see" D7 G7 C7 G7 Have you heard of the All-American Prophet? G7 C7 D G/D He found a brand new book about Jesus Christ D C# C7 Am7 We are following him to Paradise F7 D7 We call ourselves Mormon C Am Fmaj7 G Bbsus2 E And our new religion is All-American A/E E Wow, how much does it cost? E5 E7/G# The Mormons kept on searching for Am That place to settle down F F7/A And every time they thought they'd found it Bbm They got kicked out of town F# F#/A# And even though people wanted Bm Bm/A To see the Golden Plates G Em Joseph never showed 'em C7 B7 I have maggots in my scrotum
Umm okay, well, anyway
Em Now comes the part of our story C G D/F# That get a little bit sad Em On the way to the Promised Land F D Mormons made people mad C Am Joseph was shot by an angry mob F D7 And knew he'd soon be done C Am F G "You must lead the people now Bbsus2 F My good friend, Brigham Young" F C "Oh God, why are you letting me die C7 Without having me show people the Plates C6 They'll have no proof I was telling the truth or not Caug They'll have to believe it just 'cause Csus2 Oh, I guess that's kinda what you were going for" A Dsus2 A The Prophet Joseph Smith died for what he believed in A But as followers, they kept heading West F#m B9 And Brigham Young led them to Paradise E A D A Ebm A sparkling land in Utah they called Salt Lake City F# A And there, the Mormons multiplied C#m And made big Mormon families F#m Generation to generation B7 E Until finally, they made me A D/A A D And now it's my job to lead you D D#dim7 F13 Where those early settlers were led long ago Bb7 Eb7 Bb7 Have you heard of the All-American Prophet?
