  G                                          C                                G                                            D
I don't want to meet him at the crossroads, Uh uh.  I don't want to sell my soul for fame.
  G                                     C           G                    D                   G                      Em
I don't want to hit it big in Vegas.   Don't want to be on the big screen, high on cocaine
  G                   D                           G                                
I don't want to trouble with these things.

Yes Sir, I believe in a Great Mystery, whose names are too many to recite.
 G                                                       C
Yes I sin, I like my homegrown, and whiskey, I get frisky…,
            G                  D                           G                  Em        G                    D                      G
and go rolling in the hay with my good wife.    Dear Lord,     Forgive me, I know I’ll pay a price.

G                        C                               G                                                    D
I was born in 1957, Elvis was King!   Went to school fearing world war three...
G                                              C                                               G             D              G              Em
I prayed and I got down, I was underneath my desk, Oh send angels to take away all the bad people,
G                   D                          G           
turn 'em into who they ought to be.

C                      G                                        C           
How about you? It seems to me, there’s a whole lot more than meets the eye,
          G                                   Am                                  Em
Much more than we can see.  Silently the heavens are shining on me,
C                                        D
holding the secrets, of the Great Mystery.

G                                    C                                                G                                                    D
Politicians talking pretty stories, "Say, vote for me!" And on the money it says “In God we Trust”.
 G                                         C                                                           G                         D             G
Seems all they trust is filthy lucre, don’t you know, because they're drunk on it, and for it they lust,
         Em                    G                           D                            G
Dear Lord, And they wonderin' why the poor man likes the dust?  I don't know.

C                      G                                        C           
How about you? It seems to me, there’s a whole lot more than meets the eye,
             G                         Am                                 Em
Like the hand of destiny.  Silently the heavens are shining on me,
C                                        D
holding the secrets, of the Great Mystery.
C                       G                                       C           
How about you? It seems to me, there’s a whole lot more than meets the eye,
          G                                  Am                                  Em
Much more than we can see. Silently the heavens are shining on me,
C                                          D
no telling the secrets, of the Great Mystery.

When I meet you on the mountain someday... Turn this world's evil to dust and clay...

When the children of the future find our fossil, they'll say hey, imagine, it used to be that way,
         Em          G              D                      G
Dear Lord, say imagine it used to be that way.
         Em                  G              D                      G
Dear Lord, they say imagine it used to be that way.
