Passing Through

C     G              C
I saw Adam leave the garden
        F            C
With an apple in his hand
C        Em         C
I said, "Now you're out
C                  Dm
What are you gonna do?
         G         C        Em
Plant my crops and pray for rain
      Dm             C
Maybe raise a little Cain
C      Em     Am      G         
I'm an orphan and I'm only passing 
   C
through."


[Refrain]
         C      G            C
Passing through,    passing through
          C                Em
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue
Em        Dm         C
Glad that I ran into you;
         G      Am       G   
Tell the people that you saw me 
           C
passing through


[Verse 2]
C     G            C
I saw Jesus on the cross
        F                C
On that hill called Calvary
 C      Em      C          
"Do you hate mankind for what 
                   Dm
they've done to you?"

He said, "Talk of love, not hate
          Dm               C
Things to do, it's getting late
C       Em          Am    G    
I've so little time and I'm 
          C
just passing through."


[Refrain]
         C      G            C
Passing through,    passing through

Sometimes happy, sometimes blue
Em        Dm         C
Glad that I ran into you;
         G      Am       G   
Tell the people that you saw me

[Verse 3]
C          G           C
I shivered with George Washington
    F               C
One night at Valley Forge
 C   Em         C                
"Why do the soldiers freeze here 
          Dm
like they do?"
          G        C       Em
He said, "Men will suffer, fight
     Dm              C
Even die for what is right
C    Em          Am           G
Even though they know they're 
            C
only passing through."


[Refrain]
         C      G            C
Passing through,    passing through
          C                Em
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue
Em        Dm         C
Glad that I ran into you;
         G      Am       G

C        G                    C
I was at Franklin Roosevelt's side
       F               C
Just a while before he died
C         Em             C      
He said, "One world must come 
               Dm
out of World War Two
        G        C        Em
Yankee, Russian, white or tan
        Dm            C
Lord, a man is just a man
C         Em       Am        G 
We're all brothers and we're 
           C
only passing through."


         C      G            C
Passing through,    passing through
          C                Em
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue
Em        Dm         C
Glad that I ran into you;

Tell the people that you saw me
