Intro: B
Vs:
B D
I look at the sky
E B
I see an airplane as it flies
B D
Is this the way they said Jesus came?
E
Gone through St Louis
B
Gone straightaway
E(II) B
And I hear the winter will cut you quick
E(II) B
If tears were liquor Id have drunk myself sick
Chs: B D E B (x2)
Vs:
B D
Woman are you home
E B
A house of cards a frame of bones
B D
Here I am earthly bound
E B
Said Hallelujah Im going down
E(II) B
And the river Jordan is deep and wide
E(II) B
I think I see forever across on the other side
Chs: B D E B (x2)
Vs:
B D
I look at the sky
E B
I see a nightbird as it flies
B D E
Over the old bent cherry trees
B
Shivering in a row
E(II) B
Down here the winter will cut you quick
E(II) B
These tears are liquor and Ive drunk myself sick
Chs: B D E B (x2)
Outro:
E(II) B
And the dead of winter will cut you quick
E(II) B
These tears are liquor and Ive drunk myself sick
