G            Am7    Bm     C    
Walkin' down by the river, 
   D       Em7
hangin' down my head.
  G                     Bm        
I chanced to stop for a moment, a 
         C
stranger beckoned
    D       E                   A
and then he said..walk down the 
             E
road of life, happy
       A   E          Am7         
as can be..but not so happy, yeah,
 E              A
 that you can't see.
E       A                E      
Be very careful, mm-hmm, 
        Am  C
everywhere you go, take it
D    E
very slow.

Hats off to the stranger for 
                A
tellin' me what he knows.
        E       A                
I said, Lord, I hear ya, and I'm 
Am7      E
walkin' slow.
E                    A   
Just a singin', Hallelujah, 
   E    Am     E
Hallelujah..let a little sunshine
A           D              
down on me..make this feelin' 
   E
grow-ow-ow-ow.

them all before.
E       A               Em7     
But the way that you'll hear 
       A              C     D
them from me is like you never heard
       E
them before.
