Pete Seeger – Passing Through (Guitar)

C     G              C
I saw Adam leave the garden

        F            C
With an apple in his hand

C        Em         C
I said, "Now you're out

C                  Dm
What are you gonna do?

         G         C        Em
Plant my crops and pray for rain

      Dm             C
Maybe raise a little Cain

C      Em     Am      G            C
I'm an orphan and I'm only passing through."

         C      G            C
Passing through,    passing through

          C                Em
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue

Em        Dm         C
Glad that I ran into you;

         G      Am       G              C
Tell the people that you saw me passing through

C     G            C
I saw Jesus on the cross

        F                C
On that hill called Calvary

 C      Em      C                             Dm
"Do you hate mankind for what they've done to you?"

          G             C       Em
He said, "Talk of love, not hate

          Dm               C
Things to do, it's getting late

C       Em          Am    G              C
I've so little time and I'm just passing through."

         C      G            C
Passing through,    passing through

          C                Em
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue

Em        Dm         C
Glad that I ran into you;

         G      Am       G              C
Tell the people that you saw me passing through

C          G           C
I shivered with George Washington

    F               C
One night at Valley Forge

 C   Em         C                          Dm
"Why do the soldiers freeze here like they do?"

          G        C       Em
He said, "Men will suffer, fight

     Dm              C
Even die for what is right

C    Em          Am           G            C
Even though they know they're only passing through."

         C      G            C
Passing through,    passing through

          C                Em
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue

Em        Dm         C
Glad that I ran into you;

         G      Am       G              C
Tell the people that you saw me passing through

C        G                    C
I was at Franklin Roosevelt's side

       F               C
Just a while before he died

C         Em             C                     Dm
He said, "One world must come out of World War Two

        G        C        Em
Yankee, Russian, white or tan

        Dm            C
Lord, a man is just a man

C         Em       Am        G            C
We're all brothers and we're only passing through."

         C      G            C
Passing through,    passing through

          C                Em
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue

Em        Dm         C
Glad that I ran into you;

         G      Am       G              C
Tell the people that you saw me passing through
