Panning for Gold Lyrics & Tabs by Ben Sollee

Panning for Gold

guitar chords lyrics

Ben Sollee

I saw God by the river
panning for gold
I saw God by the river

weary and old
He said,
"Son, I used to know where I put things I used to know"
I saw God in the forest
teaching Tai Chi to the trees
in the wind
and bowing to the seas
He said
"Son, I used to know where I put things I used to know"
I saw God on the mountain
tearing at the sky
I saw God on the mountain

I saw God on the mountain
tearing at the sky
I saw God on the mountain
with tears in his eyes
He said,
"Son, I used to know where I put things I used to know
I could have shown you all the beauty in the world
but now I need you to show me."
"Yes, show me"
