[Intro]
D G D
[Verse 1]
D I saw Adam leave the garden G D with an apple in his hand, D A Asus4 A I said Now that you're out, what are you gonna do? D He said Plant some crops and pray for rain, G D maybe raise a little Cain. D A D Asus4 D I'm an orphan now and I'm only passing through
[Chorus]
D Passing through, passing through. D7 sometimes happy, sometimes blue, G D glad that I ran into you D A D Asus4 D Tell the people that you saw me passing through.
[Verse 2]
D I kept Jesus in my sight, G D I was almost a disciple, but not quite D A Asus4 A Yet I can confirm all the stories about him are true D I recall his kind eyes and his grin G D and his beautiful olive brown skin D A D Asus4 D and the way he laughed as he was passing through
[Chorus]
D Passing through, passing through. D7 sometimes happy, sometimes blue, G D glad that I ran into you D A D Asus4 D Tell the people that you saw me passing through.
[Verse 3]
D I guided Shakespeare's pen G D as he wrote down the follies of men D and when his mighty mind drew blank A Asus2 A I whispered clues D When he sensed that I was close G D he cried are you angel or are you ghost? D I said I'm a servant like you, Will, A D Asus4 D bearing witness as we're passing through
[Chorus]
D Passing through, passing through. D7 sometimes happy, sometimes blue, G D glad that I ran into you D A D Asus4 D Tell the people that you saw me passing through.
[Verse 4]
D I rode with Sitting Bull G D when the red berry moon was full D A Asus4 A he was the father and the champion of the Sioux D through tears I asked him why G D he was unafraid to die D he said this life is only dream A D Asus4 D and we're all just passing through
[Chorus]
D Passing through, passing through. D7 sometimes happy, sometimes blue, G D glad that I ran into you D A D Asus4 D Tell the people that you saw me passing through.
[Verse 5]
D I marched with Martin Luther King G D in Sixty three in spring D A Asus4 A when he said I have a dream to share with you D The gates of hope swung wide that day G D but Martin only pointed out the way D for his time was short A D Asus4 D and he was only passing through
[Chorus]
D Passing through, passing through. D7 sometimes happy, sometimes blue, G D glad that I ran into you D A D Asus4 D Tell the people that you saw me passing through.
[Verse 6]
D I was close by George Floyd's side G D on the dreadful day he died D I filmed his murder on my phone A Asus4 A so all the world could see it too D By the time the news was known G D George was already home, D A D Asus4 D his sacrifice made while he was passing through
[Chorus]
D Passing through, passing through. D7 sometimes happy, sometimes blue, G D glad that I ran into you D A D Asus4 D Tell the people that you saw me passing through.
[Verse 7]
D Now this day is nearly done G D and my song is almost sung D A Asus4 A and pretty soon this scene will fade from our view D If we never meet again G D remember me as an old friend D that you met one time A D Asus4 D when we were passing through
[Chorus]
D Passing through, passing through. D7 sometimes happy, sometimes blue, G D glad that I ran into you D A D Asus4 D Tell the people that you saw me passing through.
