[Eb]
[Bb]
[Eb]
I was [Ab] [Eb] born in a tale of angels by the sea in the year [Bb] [Ab] 1974.
[Eb] [G]
In time [Ab] for [Eb] Christmas [Abm] to [Eb] my [Ab] father, you [Eb] and [Bb] mother [Eb] and a dream.
For a while I was in a way that Jesus served me well in the bed of [Bb] saints.
[Ab]
Come [Eb] to find [G]
Jesus [Ab] doesn't need us [Abm] to [Eb] be [Ab] anymore [Eb] than we [Bb] need [Eb] him to be.
I first thought like they know about heaven.
I can't help but [Bb] see the sea.
[Ab]
We [Eb] could pull that thread [Db] and make two [Ab] cross to feed us.
[Abm] So [Eb] all that [Ab] I [Eb] know is all [Bb] I [Eb] tell the need.
I was born in a tale of angels by the sea in the [Bb] year 1970.
[Ab]
[Eb] In [G]
time [Ab] for Christmas [Abm]
to [Eb] my [Ab] father, [Eb] you and [Bb] mother and [Eb] a dream.
[Gb] I [Eb] was at war with that wild religion.
It revealed [Bb] itself to me.
[Ab] And it's sloppy [Eb] so to [G]
make some [Ab] good decisions.
[Abm]
Give [Eb] me [Ab] ears to [Eb] hear and eyes, bow [Bb] and [Eb] see.
Oh, [Ab] [Eb]
and I heard so bad help me.
[Db] [Eb] I hear.
[Bb] Oh,
[Ab]
[Eb] we're all just [G] the [Ab] sea.
[Eb] [Abm]
So [Eb] I know.
[Bb] [Eb] He was.
[F]
I see. He.
[Bb] And [C] I see.
[Bb]
[F] [A]
[Ab] [Bb] [Bbm]
To my [F] [Bb] father.
[F]
[C] [F]
To my [Bb] father.
[F]
[C] And [F] he.
