Revelation

G7

[Verse 1]
G7                                
My friend Billy he was actin' 
               C7
kinda silly by the seashore
G7                                
He started goofin', countin' all 
             D7
the grains of sand
         G7
About a thousand and thirty he was 
gettin' kinda dirty
       C7
And he looked at himself and he 
laughed
               G7               
He said, "I'll never even finish 
        D7                   G7
what I got right here in my hand"

[Chorus]
             G7
He had a revelation, had a 
revelation
He had some kinda knowledge comin' 
                           D7
in from somewhere else for free
             G7             
He had a revelation, special 
      C7
information
        G7                         
And I'm hopin' they'll be catchin' 
        D7             G7
it from sea to shining sea

[Verse 2]
  G7                               
A girl named Nancy started talkin' 
                 C7
kinda fancy over dinner

G7                           
Usin' clever phrases she would 
                            D7
always have to stop and explain
   G7
As each sentence ended all her 
guests were more offended
        C7
And she looked at herself and she 
laughed
               G7                  
She said "I'll never ever use those
 D7                    G7
 hundred-dollar words again"

[Chorus]
             G7
He had a revelation, had a 
revelation
He had some kinda knowledge comin' 
                          D7
in from somewhere else to see
             G7             
He had a revelation, special 
     C7
situation
        G7                         
And I'm sure they'll be catchin' it
      D7             G7
 from sea to shining sea

[Bridge]
                C7                 
Well, there's a time and a place 
  G7
for everything
  C7                          
A way of standin' up and never 
 G7
tippin' your canoe
C7                           G7
Sometimes it's better if you just 
give in
D7
Never use a hammer on a screw

[Verse 3]
G7
Mister L. da Vinci said he wouldn't 
budge an inch he
       C7
Was convinced that someday humans 
would fly
             G7                    
He made some little paper 
aeroplanes to show them what he had 
D7
on his mind
G7
Even men of learnin' would have 
rather seen him burnin'
         C7
Like the devil or the witch they 
thought he was
               G7                  
So he kept his big mouth shut and 
  D7                     G7
he didn't have to say goodbye

[Chorus]
             G7
He had a revelation, he had a 
revelation
He had some kinda knowledge comin' 
             D7
in from A to Z
             G7               
He had a revelation, a pile of 
      C7
information
        G7                         
And I'm hopin' they'll be catchin' 
        D7             G7
it from sea to shining sea
