[Db] [Ab]
[Bb] [Db]
[Fm] [Ab] [Bb] It was time to [Db] say [Fm] goodbye.
[Ab] [Bb] Thinking of [Db] you more than [Fm] any time.
[Ab] [Bbm] We prayed for [Db] a [Fm] sunny day.
[Ab] [Bbm] You would make it [Db] up [Fm] to me.
[Ab] In [Bb] the country, [Ab] we'd [Eb] get [Fm] home.

[Ab]
[Bbm] Oh, oh, [Eb] [Db]
[Fm] [Ab]
oh.
You [Bb] did my [Db] heart, but you [F] hurt my feelings.
[Ab] You [Bbm] did my feeling, but you couldn't hurt [Fm] my soul.
Now you're tired [Bbm] of someone [Db] you're [Fm] blushing over.
[Ab] Can you [Bbm] bear to [Ebm] [Db] walk [Fm] in the room?
[Ab] [Bb]
[Bbm] [Db] [Fm]
[Ab] Oh, come the [Bbm] people of the world, [Db] [Ab] you're leaving us.
Oh, [Bbm] my people, don't [Db] you [Fm] believe in me.
[Ab] [Bbm] Spreading rumors [Ebm] [Db] all [Eb] [Fm] over town.
[Bb] [Ab] That [Bbm] they wanna, [Ab] [Db] wanna [Abm] throw [Fm] us down.
[Ab] [Bbm] Some was bad blood, [Db] [Ab] some [Fm] was sad.
[Ab] [Bbm] Some was easy, [Db] [Ab] some [Fm] was [Ab] bad.
[Bbm] Oh, come the people, [Eb] [Db] [Ab] believe [F] in rumors.

[Ab] Cause [Bbm] if it is not so, it [Fm] shall return upon you.
[Ab] Nothing [Bbm] you can do to [Ab]
[Fm] escape in this death.
[Ab] Oh, [Bbm] come my people, [Ab] [Db] [Ab] believe [Fm] in rumors.
[Ab] Just [Bbm] like they sold Joseph, way down in [Fm] Egypt.
[Ab] Just [Bbm] like they grew sheep [Ab] and [Db] rice, [Fm] in Egypt.

interest in [Ebm] [Db] me, is [Ab] my [Fm] God.
[Ab] And [Bbm] what do I buy [Db] from the [Ab] [Fm]
wrong [Ab] people?

[Ab] [Ebm] They [Bbm] don't know what's [Ab] happening.
[Db] [Fm] They don't know.
[Ab] They want [Bbm] to turn back the [Fm] unjust cries of prophecy.
[Db] They [Ab] want to turn [Eb] the unjust side of [Fm] prophecy.
[Ab] Oh, come [Bbm] my people, [Ebm] [Db] [Ab] believe [Fm] in rumors.
[Ab] Oh, come [Bbm] my people, [Ab] [Db] believe [Bbm] in [Fm] rumors.
