G#m                        Bm       C#m
John the Revelator put him in an elevator
         G#m               Bm   C#m
Take him up to the highest high
         G#m                     Bm        C#m
Take him up to the top where the mountains stop
G#m                        Bm   C#m
Let him tell his book of lies

G#m                       Bm        C#m
John the Revelator he’s a smooth operator
     G#m                      Bm   C#m
It’s time we cut him down to size

G#m                Bm  C#m
Let us hear his alibis

   G#m                 Bm    C#m
By claiming God as his only right
     G#m                     Bm   C#m
He's stealing a god from the Israelites
G#m                   Bm       C#m
Stealing a god from a Muslim, too
G#m                   Bm          C#m
There is only one god through and through
