[Dm] [Bm] [D]
Oh, Josh White [Bm] was a natural [D] man, held [Bm] a plug nickel in the palm [D] of his hand.
He raised it up like a glass [Dm] to his eye.
[D] And what he saw [Bm] through the nickel [D] made the natural man cry.
[G] [D] Lord, Lord, [G] Lord, this morning made [Em] a natural [D] man cry.
Then through the nickel a vision arose.
He saw an actor [Bm] in the jungle with a bone in his [D]
nose.
He saw a maid in an apron with a Hollywood grin.
[Dm]
He heard a singer [Bm] at the back door slamming again.
[G] Lord, [D] Lord, Lord, he heard the back [E] door [D] slamming again.
[G]
High up on the mountain sat the Lord and the natural [D] man.
Oh, Josh White, [Bm] God forgive the [G] song, but he never saw the [D] promised land.
You [Bm] know he never [A] saw the promised [D] land.

So Josh White laid the [Dm] nickel down.
[D]
He put his hands in his pockets [A] and he [D] strolled into town.
He looked to the left and over to the [Dm] right.
[D] But he couldn't [Bm] find a place [D] to spend his money that night.
[G] Lord, [D] Lord, [G] Lord, he sure want [D] to spend some money tonight.
Well, he ran to the [G] hotel dollar in [D] hand.
But they wouldn't [B] take a dollar from no [Dm] colored man.
[D]
He said, it's getting mighty late, [G] mister, where can I go?
[Dm] [D]
He said, well, play [Bm] me a tune.
I'll [F#] let you sleep [D] on the floor.
[G] [D] Lord, [G] Lord, Lord, Josh White, [A] asleep [Dm] on the [D] floor.
[G] High up [Bm] on the mountain [G] sat the Lord and the natural [D]
man.
Oh, [F#m] Josh White, God forgive [A] the [G] song, but he never [A] saw the [D] promised land.

Now way up [G] yonder where the [D] angels are found,
all the blood from his [B] fingers stained the heavenly ground.
There ain't nothing to do but to do what you do.
And you do it [Bm] till they roll [D] a stone over you.
[D] Lord, Lord, Lord, [G] don't let them roll [A] a stone [D] over you.
[G] High up on the [B] mountain sat the Lord and the [D] natural man.
Oh, Josh White, [B] God forgive the [D] song, but [G] he never saw the [D] promised land.
High up on [Bm] the mountain I [G] heard a cold black angel [D]
sing.
And a [D] bell of plug nickel, [Bm] if he came [A] back tomorrow,
[G] he wouldn't change a god damn thing.
Lord, he wouldn't change a [D] god damn thing.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [Bm] oh, [Dm] oh, oh, oh, [D] oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [Dm]
