Capo 2
Some[C]where in Viet[C/B]nam a nineteen [Am]year old soldier [Am/G]stumbled from a [B]bar room
He [B]said I must be [B/A]seeing things, that [B/G]bourbon hit me [B/F]like a baseball [C]bat
In [C]Belfast, Ireland[C/B] a little [Am]lady dropped a [Am/G]shovel in her [D]garden
As she [B]raced across her [B/A]yard and asked her [B/G]neighbor Mrs. [B/F]Clancy "What was [C]that?"
In [C]Memphis, Tennes[C/B]see a teacher [Am]raised the window [Am/G]closest to the [B]river
And the [B]children in her [B/A]classroom swore they [B/G]heard a choir [B/F]singin down the [C]street
In [C]Washington, D.[C/B]C. a private [Am]secretary's [Am/G]lips began to [B]quiver
And the [B]President just [B/A]put aside some [B/G]papers and rose [B/F]quickly to his [C]feet
[D]I lay in a [D/C#]cheap motel [D/B]in the arms of [D/A]someone else's [C]woman
[C]When a loud exp[C/B]losion rocked the [Am]room and turned the [Am/G]morning into [D]night
[D]I jumped out of [D/C#]bed and ran in[D/B]to the street with [D/A]hardly any [C]clothes on
And [C]as the sky lit [C/B]up my heart stood [Am]still and I could [Am/G]feel my face turn [D]white
Bridge:
[G]All at once the [G/F#]clouds rolled back and [Em]there stood Jesus Christ in all his [D]glory
And I [D]realized the [D/C#]saddest eyes I'd [D/B]ever seen were [D/A]lookin straight at [A]me[E][A]
I [C]guess I was awa[C/B]kened by the [Am]penetrating [Am/G]sound of my own [D]screaming
It [B]didn't take me [B/A]long to stumble [B/G]out of bed and [B/F]fall down on my [C]knees
As [C]tears rolled down my [C/B]face I cried "Dear [Am]God I'm thankful [Am/G]I was only [D]dreaming
If [B]I never go to [B/A]hell Lord itll [B/G]be because you [B/F]scared it out of [C]me
