_ _ _ [A] I [E] was _ dreaming on _ _ _ _ _ a pen [A] _ [E] in the _ sky
_ _ [A] above [E] the flood, _ _ _ [A] _ [E] the _ _ _ forest, [C#m] _ [E] and a city, _ _ [A] _ [E] and a _ river _ [C#m] made [E] of _ blood
_ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ [E] Baptists _ keep getting [C#m] _ [E] closer, _ trying to [F#m] _ _ [E] _ pull me down to their _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ own such [A] way
_ [E] _ _ _
Hold my [A] _ _ [E] _ hand, _ under [C#m] the [A#] water [E] _ I'm down
[A] Started [E] shouting, I felt like [A] I was [A#] [E] drowning _ _
Baptists keep [A] on [E] holding my hands, they keep on grabbing _ his hair
_ [A] Angled as [E] he smacks me across the chest, oh what have I [C#m] done
Then [E] father you, then [A] away with your [E] daughter
_ _ Left my [A] [E] mom's _ _ _ _ _ river _ bank, left me [A] high [E] _ _ and in the [C#m] mud it [E] sank _ _ _
Baptists [A] God, [E] _ _ _ I [A] gotta thank [E] you for the [A] _ _ [E] bath, _ so I didn't want to lie
Feel her harsh [A] _ [E] demands me, like the Baptist hand he bends me _
Crosses me, I'm _ backward, I cannot [C#m] see
[E] There's filth _ streaming out of me
There's water _ rushing over me
There's filth _ streaming out of me
There's water _ rushing over [A] _ [E] me _ _ _ _

_ Have I [A] done [E] them _ _ such way with daughter _
Hold my hand, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Baptists keep [C#m] on holding [E] my hands, they [A] keep on [Em] grabbing [E] his hair

When the river _ _ _ becomes an _ _ ocean, [Em] and [E] every _ spirit _ _ [A] of [E] every man
_ _ _ [C#m] _ [E] Will rise up and [F#] we will recall _ that _ we are all but one blood [D] _ _
