[B] [D] Come down, come down from your mountain, Jehovah, [G] my [D] neck is terribly stiff.
[A]
Hitch up your robes [Bm] and your raiment, [D] Jehovah, [G] come down [D] to the foot of [A] your cliff.
[D] Oh, [B] drink from the source [G] that was always [D] beneath you, [Bm] [D] drink from my wonderful thong.
[A] You [D] know paradise is right here [G] on [D] earth, Jehovah, what more could we possibly want?
[C#m] [B] [D] Come down and talk amongst friends, Jehovah, [G]
come [D] down and sit at your [A] ease.
[D] Walk through the woods and the valleys, Jehovah, [G] sail upon glistening [A] seas.
[B] Pass on what you've [G] learned to the [D] children, Jehovah, [Bm] listen [D] to what they have to say.
[A] They [D] say paradise is right here [A] on [D] earth, Jehovah, not tomorrow but right here today.

[D] There is nothing you can [G] teach us of evil and hatred [G] we don't [D] already have [A] in this place.
There [B] is nothing so [G] evil as man [D] in his mischief, nothing so lost or insane.
[A] [D] Bring your demons up too, so we know it's not [G] you, it's us who must [D] carry him to blame.
[A]
[D] Or just [G] who must live [D]
with the shame.

a beguiling [A] idea.
But [B] our time here [G] on earth is much richer, [D]
Jehovah, richer than you'll ever know.
[A] [D] And when it comes time to leave it behind, [G]
just close our [D] eyes and let go.
