year old soldier stumbled from a bar

 room
   B              B/A          
He said I must be seeing things, 
       B/G            B/F         
that bourbon hit me like a

In Belfast, Ireland a little lady
           Am/G          D
 dropped a shovel in her garden
       B                B/A    
As she raced across her yard and 
            B/G           B/F     
asked her neighbor Mrs. Clancy 
         C
"What was that?"

   C              C/B           
In Memphis, Tennessee a teacher 
Am                Am/G           
raised the window closest to the 
B
river
        B               B/A       
And the children in her classroom 
           B/G           B/F      
swore they heard a choir singin 
       C
down the street

In Washington, D.C. a private

        B              B/A     
And the President just put aside 
       B/G             B/F        
some papers and rose quickly to 
    C
his feet

D          D/C#        D/B      
I lay in a cheap motel in the 
      D/A            C
arms of someone else's woman
C              C/B               
When a loud explosion rocked the 
Am                  Am/G         
room and turned the morning into 
D
night
D               D/C#          
I jumped out of bed and ran 
D/B                D/A        C
into the street with hardly any 
clothes on
    C              C/B            
And as the sky lit up my heart 
   Am                Am/G         
stood still and I could feel my 
     D
face turn white

All at once the clouds rolled 
      Em                           
back and there stood Jesus Christ 
       D
in all his glory
      D            D/C#           
And I realized the saddest eyes 
  D/B            D/A              
I'd ever seen were lookin straight
  A   E  A
 at me

  C              C/B        
I guess I was awakened by the 
  Am          Am/G        
penetrating sound of my own 
    D
screaming
   B              B/A             
It didn't take me long to stumble 
B/G            B/F             C
out of bed and fall down on my knees
   C                    C/B       
As tears rolled down my face I 
         Am               Am/G    
cried "Dear God I'm thankful I was
   D
 only dreaming
   B             B/A             
If I never go to hell Lord it?ll 
B/G            B/F              C
be because you scared it out of me
