((VERSE))
[E]Ode to joy, m[F#]y lover boy'[G#m]s speaking in [F#]
[E]tongues-And the sky's bleeding g[F#]ray.................[G#m][F#]
[E]Now I pull my [F#]bag o' praye[G#m]rs out[B]
I h[C#sus]ope to find on[C#]e to save the [Em]day
And he judged my love, my lust
My taste with the straightest face
As I crumple up inside
A papier-mache, a shell with no name
((CHORUS))
[E]Sweet.[F#].......[G#m]......c[F#]hariot
[E]Come, come, ta[B]ke me awa[G#m]y from my [A]
[E]fear- Swee[F#]t......c[G#m]hariot[F#]
[E]Come, I have[B] to [G#m]get out of he[A]re
And he took me further than I wanted to go
Underneath his shoe
And it leaves me hungry for a touch I can't feel
A touch he won't do
And I thought the circle, it had an end
I'm old enough to know
My denial is how we began and how we will end
And now that I know
Sweet chariot
Come, come, take me away from my fear
Sweet chariot
Come, I have to get out of here
((BRIDGE))
[D] Oh,..[A]..the blood[F#m] that's in my [G]
[D]veins- So cold a[A]nd frozen from t[F#m]he [G]
[D]stings- Oh, it[A] comes and [F#m]goes in waves[G][F]
F E F# G#m F#................
Am I really here?...................................................

Sweet chariot
Come, come, take me away from my fear
Sweet chariot
Can we leave him a trail of my tears?
Sweet chariot
It's been, it's been the longest of years
Sweet chariot
Come, I have to get out of here
