C                          Am
Son, are you weary with the troubles in life?
              F
You take your heartache
                G
With a glass of wine?
        E                        F
Are you haunted by the ghost you know?
                 C           G
Pay 'em off with kindness,
             C
The debt you owe

[Verse 2]
               C
Father are you tired?
        Am
Full of despair?
            F                    G
Fish out of water, a-gaspin' for air?
       E                      F
At the mercy of your troubled soul?
          C       G             C
Prop up a ladder,    a-pay your toll

[Chorus]
           G
This is my gospel,
           Am
This is my truth
           F
Soul keeps wadin'
                   G
In the fountain of youth
           E                  F
You should listen to the good news
           C          G
This is my gospel,
           C
This is my truth

[Verse 3]
              C
Wealth of the world
         Am
Has been compressed
     F                  G
With hard times for the rest
      E                      F
We're survivors of blood and lead
             C       G          C
Ain't got no answers,   ask Him instead

[Chorus]
           G                  Am
This is my gospel, this is my truth
           F                         G
Soul keeps wadin' in the fountain of youth
           E                  F
You should listen to the good news
           C             G
This is my gospel,
           C
This is my truth

[Verse 4]
               C
Mama, come and join me
       Am
In the tower
          F
Where the king and queens
         G
Hold the power
              E
Break out the dresses,
            F
I'll wear a suit
           C           G
Lord, just tell me
       C
What I should do

[Chorus]
           G
This is my gospel,
           Am
This is my truth
           F
Soul keeps wadin'
                   G
In the fountain of youth
           E                  F
You should listen to the good news
           C
This is my gospel,
           Am   F   G
This is my truth
              C            G
Oh this is my gospel
               C
And this is my truth
