The Wicked Messenger Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[E]

[Verse 1]
There was a wicked [E]messenger
From [Em]Eli, [Am]he did come
With a [A]mind that multiplied
[Am]the smallest [D]matter
[E]

[Verse 2]
When questioned who had
sent for him
He answered with his thum[Am]b
For his tongue, [A]it couldn't speak,
but only [D]flatter[E]

[Interlude 1]
[E][Am][E]

[Verse 3]
He stayed [E]behind the assembly hall
'Cause there he made [Am]his bed
Of[A]tentimes he could be
seen re[D]turn[Dm] in'
[E]

[Verse 4]
Until one day, he just appeared
With a [Em]note [E]in his hand [Am]which read
The [A]soles of my feet,
I swear they're [Dm]burnin'
[E]

[Interlude 2]
[Am][D][E]

[Verse 5]
Oh, the leaves began to [E]fall
and
The seas began to [Am]part
And the [A]people that confronted
him [Dm]were [D]many[E]

[Verse 6]
And [E]he was told but these few words
Which opened up his [Am]heart
If you [A]cannot bring good news,
don't bring [D]any[Dm][E]
