[C] [Bm] [Am] [C]
[D] Somewhere in Vietnam a [Bm] 19 year old [D] soldier walked out [C] of a bar room and he said I must
be [G] seeing things, [Am] that bourbon hit me [C] like [Gm] a [D] baseball bat.
In Belfast, [F#m] Ireland a [Bm] little lady [D] dropped her shovel [C] in her garden.
She raced [G] across the yard and [Am] asked her neighbor, [C] Mrs.
Clancy, [D] what was that?
In Memphis, [C#] Tennessee [D] a [B] teacher [Bm] raised the [D] window closest [C] to the river and the children
[G] in her classroom [A] swore they [Am] heard a [G] choir singing [D] down the street.
In Washington, D.C. a [Bm] private [D] secretary's lips [C] began to quiver and the president [G] just
put aside [Am] his papers and [C] rose quickly to [D] his feet.
[E] I lay in a [D#] cheap [C#m] motel in the [E] arms of someone [D] else's woman when a [A] loud [G] explosion rocked
the room and turned [A] the [D] morning [E] into night.
I jumped [G#m] out of bed and [C#m] ran into the [E] street with hardly [D] any clothes on.
As the sky lit up [F#m] my heart stood [Bm] still and I could feel [D] my face was [E] turning white.
[A] All at once the clouds rolled back [F#m] and there stood Jesus [A] Christ in all [E] his glory.
And I realized [G#m] the saddest [C#m] eyes I'd ever [E] seen were looking [B] straight at me.
[F#]
[B] I [D] guess I was awakened [Bm] by the [D] penetrating sound of [C] my own screaming and it didn't [G] take
me long to [Am] stumble out of [C] bed and fall down on [D] my knees.
As tears rolled down my [C#m] face [Bm] I cried, dear God [D] I'm thankful I was only [C] dreaming.
And if I never go [G] to hell, Lord, [Am] it'll be because you scared it out of [D] me.
