[D] [A] [G] The [Bm] [A]
[G] [A] [D] prodigal [A] son, he'd been away [Bm] a while [G] He was working his [A] way back home now
[D] Over many a ragged mile [G] When he finally crossed [Em] the river
[D] And his [F#m] father saw [Bm] him near [D] There was a joyful [A] sound
For all the [D] world to hear I listened to [A] what the good books [G] said
And it made good [Bm] sense to me Talking about reaping [F#m] what you're sowing
[G] People trying [A] to be free [Bm] Now we got new [G] names and faces
[F#] This [G] time around [D] Gospel change is, [A] Lord, still [D] going down
[A] Jesus, he did not [Bm] doubt his gift Though [G] he knew [A] that he had not [D] long to live
He [G] took [Em] care of the [D] business Of [F#m] teaching us [Bm] how to fly
[D] Then he bowed his [A] head and laid [D] down to die
I listened to [A] what the good books [G] said And it made good [Bm] sense to [D] me
Talking about reaping what [F#m] you're sowing [G] And people trying to [A] be free
Now [Bm] we got new [G] names and faces [F#] [B] This [G] time around [D] Gospel change is, [A] Lord, still [D] going down
[A] Jerusalem I see [Bm] standing high But [G] if you lose your [A] salvation
[D] There'll be no [Em] tears left to [D] cry Now some [Em] men worship a golden [D] calf
While others a [Bm] fought and sold [D] And if we live like [A] that, brother, we [D] pay the toll
I listened to [A] what the good books [G] said And it made good [Bm] sense to me
[D] Talking about reaping [F#m] what you're sowing [G] And people [Em] trying [A] to be free
[Bm] Now we got new [G] names and faces [F#]
[Bm] This [G] time around
[D] Gospel [A] change is, Lord, still [Bm] going [G] down
[Em] Gospel [D] [A] change is, Lord, [D] still going down
[G] [D] [G] Gospel [D] change [A] is, Lord, still [D] going down
