A
Up on the isle of Patmus
  D                A
A man was cast one day

As he was left alone to die
B           E
He began to pray
A
The Holy Ghost came on him
    D                A
The Spirit, he came down
                                 F#m
He began to write about the things he saw
    B           E        A
The revelators' name was John


[Chorus]

(Talkin' 'bout John)

A
John the Revelator
       D                A
He saw Jerusalem comin' down

(Yes, it was John)
A
John the Revelator
    B              E
And when he looked around
       A
He saw feet like brass
A7
Eyes like fire
D                           D#/A#
Heard a great voice sayin' "Come up higher!"

(It was John)

A        F#m
John the Revelator
   B               E       A
He wrote about the city of God


[Verse 2]

A
While in the spirit prayin'
    D                 A
John turned around to see

If the voice he had heard
    B                 E
Was what it seemed to be
 A
Just like the many waters
  D             A
A great trumpet sound
                        F#m       B
Well He said, "I am the first and last."

    E                  A
The revelator wrote it down

[Chorus]
(Talkin' 'bout John)

A

And when he looked around
       A
