The Wicked Messenger Originally by Bob Dylan [Intro] F - G [x6] [Verse 1]
F     G
There was a wicked messenger

                F
From Eli he did come

       G
With a mind that multiplied

             F G
The smallest matter

     G
When questioned who had sent for him

                      F
He answered with his thumb

        G                                    F G
For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter
[Verse 2]
    G
He stayed behind the assembly hall

                         F
It was there he made his bed

     G                             F   G
And often times he could be seen returning
Until one day he just appeared
                             F
With a note in his hand that read

      G                                F   G
"The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning,"
[Instrumental] F G [x2] G F G FG [x2] [Verse 3]
F        G
Oh, the leaves began to fall

                  F
The seas began to part

        G                               F G
And the people that confronted him were many
And he was told with these few words
                    F
Which opened up his heart

    G                                       F G
"If you cannot bring good news, don't bring any."
[Outro] Jam out over G Finish on F - G
