Capo: 4th Fret
INTRO Em
Em
Moses up on the mountainside
D
What a place to meet
Em
He brought his pad and his pencil
D
Poured himself some gypsy tea
Am D
And all the world's multiplicity
G Em
They turn his brain and his soul to stone
F Am
He drew his face on a tablet
F G
And carried it back home
Em
Jesus off in the water
D
Standing on his feet
Em
Yeah, that's the thing about charisma
D
It makes everyone believe
Am D
But there is nothing impossible
G Em
When I'm with you and when you're with me
F Am
I got a sad sinking feeling
F G
That that can never be
Am D
But I'm going to do what I can for you
G
I will make a plea
Am D
To all the lights in the windows
Em
The puddles in the streets
C D
And all the lovers that you've been teasing
G C
From your balcony
Am D G
May they carry you far from my memory
Em
Solomon heard a protest
D
From the lower court
Em
Reached in his ear for a silver dollar
D
Just like he'd done before
Am D
He tossed it high said that wisdom's fickle
G Em
And chance is God's retort
F Am
And handed them a sentence
F G
It was death by Trojan horse
Em
Pharaoh woke from a bad dream
D
Splashed some water on his face
Em
When it's a matter of nightmares you had
D
Better ask a slave
Am D
And he may tell you a famine's coming
G Em
Or he may look away
F Am
If he's kind then return it
F G
Let him lick your plate
Am D
But I'm going to do what I can for you
G
I will make a plea
Am D
To all the birds in the chimneys
Em
The whales up on the beach
C D
And all the footsteps that you've been hearing
G C
Like a timpani
Am D G
May they carry you far from your enemies
BRIDGE Em, D, Em, D
Am D
But I'm going to do what I can for you
G
I will make a plea
Am D
To all the lights in the windows
Em
The puddles in the streets
C D
And all the hours that you've been sitting
G C
At your vanity
Am D Em
May they carry you far from your misery
Am D
May they carry you far
Em
Jesus off in the water
D
Standing on his feet
Em
Yeah, that's the thing about charisma
D
It makes everyone believe
Am D
That there is nothing impossible
G Em
When I'm with you and when you're with me
F Am
I got a sad sinking feeling
F Am
I got a sad sinking feeling
F Am G
I got a sad sinking feeling that will never be
OUTRO Em, D, Em, D (Repeat as necessary)
