Intro:

G, C

Verse 1:

[G] If I ventured in the [C]slipstream,

[G] Where immobile steel [C]rims crack,
[G] And the ditch in the back [C]roads stop.

Chorus 1:

[G] Could you [Em]find me?
[G] Would you [Em]kiss-a my eyes?
[G] To lay me [Em]down,
[G] In silence [Em]easy;
To be [G]born again,[C]
To be [G]born again.[C]

Verse 2:

[G] From the far side of the [C]ocean,
[G] If I put the wheels in [C]motion.
[G] And I stand with my arms be-[C]hind me,
[G] And I'm pushin' on the [C]door.

Chorus 2:

[G] Could you [Em]find me?
[G] Would you [Em]kiss-a my eyes?
[G] To lay me [Em]down,
[G] In silence [Em]easy;
To be [G]born again,[C]
To be [G]born again.[C]

Verse 3:

[G] There you [C]go,
[G] Standin' with the look of [C]avarice,
[G] Talkin' to Huddie [C]Ledbetter,
[G] Showin' pictures on the [C]wall,
[G] Whisperin' in the [C]hall.
[G] And pointin' a [C]finger at me.

[G] There you go, there you [C]go,
[G] Standin' in the [C]sun darlin',
[G] With your arms be-[C]hind you,
[G] And your eyes be-[C]fore.
[G] There you [C]go,
[G] Takin' good [C]care of your boy,
[G] Seein' that he's [C]got clean clothes.
[G] Puttin' on his little [C]red shoes,
[G] I see you know he's [C]got clean clothes.
[G] A-puttin' on his little [C]red shoes,
[G] A-pointin' a finger at [C]me.

Verse 5:

[G] And here I [C]am,
[G] Standing in your [C]sad arrest;
[G] Trying to [C]do my very best.
[G] Lookin' straight at [C]you,
[G] Comin' through [C]darlin',
[G] Yeah, yeah, [C]yeah.

Verse 6:

[G] If I ventured in the [C]slipstream,
[G] Between the viaducts of [C]your dream.

[G] And the ditch in the back [C]roads stop.

Chorus 3:

[G] Could you [Em]find me?

To be [G]born again,[C]
To be [G]born again,[C]
To be [G]born again.[C]
In another [G]world, in another [C]world,
In another [G]time; got a home on [C]high.

[G] Ain't nothing but,
A [C]stranger in this world,
[G] I'm nothing but,
A [C]stranger in this world
[G] I got a home on [C]high,
[G] In another [C]land,
[G] So far a-[C]way,
[G] So far a-[C]way.

[G] Way up in the [C]heaven,
[G] Way up in the [C]heaven,
[G] Way up in the [C]heaven,
[G] Way up in the [C]heaven.
[G] In another [C]time,
[G] In another [C]place,

[G] We are goin' to [C]heaven.
[G] In another [C]time,
[G] In another [C]place,
[G] In another [C]time,
