[Intro 1]
[Em][G][B][Em][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]Somewhere in Vietnam a nineteen
[D]yea[G]r old soldier stumbled from a[D] bar room
He said, I must be seeing [Em]thing
s that bourbon [G]hit me like a baseball bat.
In Belfast, Ire[D]land a little lady dropped
[Em]her shovel [C]in her gar[D]den
[Em]As s[C]he raced across her yard to as[D]k her neighbor,
Mrs. Clancy "What [G]was [Em]that[D]?

[Verse 2]
[Em]In Memphis, Tennesse a t[C]eacher raised
the [G]window [Em]close[D]st to the river
And [Em]the children in her classroom swore
they heard a [C]choir singin down the street
[D]In [G]Washington,
D.C. a private sec[B]retary's lips [Em]began to [C]quiver
And the Presid[G]ent just put [D]aside some
[C]papers and ros[D]e quickly to his[G] feet.

[Verse 3]
[B]I lay [Em]in a[C] che[G]ap[D] mot[G]el in
[D]the arms of someone else's woman
When [Em]a loud [G]explosion rocked the[D] room and
turned [Em]the morning [C]into night
I jumped out of bed an[D]d ran into
the street with hardly any [Em]clothes on
[C]And as the sky lit up my heart stood sti[D]ll and
I [G]could [Em]feel[D] my face turn white.

[Verse 4]
All at once the [Em]clouds rolled back and there
stood [C]Jesus Christ [G]in [Em]all [D]his glory
And I [Em]realized the saddest eyes I'd
[C]ever seen were lookin' straight at [D]me
[G]I g[B]ues[Em]s I was awak[C]ened by the
penetrat[G]ing [D]sou[C]nd of my own[Dsus4] screaming
[G]It [Em]didn'[D]t take me long to stumble[Em]
out of bed and fall [C]down on my knees.

[Verse 5]
[G]As [Em]tears[D] rolled
[Em]down my [C]face I cried
[D]Dear [G]God I'm thankful
[B]I w[Em]as only dreaming
If [C]I never go to hell, Lord
[G]It's [D]because you sca[C]red it [G]out of [D]me...
