Chord/Tab song: Tom Nelson

Old Tom Nelson h[E]ad a son, lord a spec[A]ial one, lord a spec[E]ial o[B]ne[E]
[E]Nelson found him in h[A]is shed, with rags a[E]round[B] his head, [E]
[E]Nelson wrapped him in[A] his shirt, and took[E] him [B]to the church[E]
[E]the preacher saw the [A]babys face, strange [E]and t[B]wisted shape[E]

[A]He said, throw it in the [E]river, that thing has nothing to do with [B]god

[E]nelson rejected the p[A]reachers words, and [E]payed[B] an awful price[E]
[E]next day everybody kn[A]ew, told me what to [E]do[B][E]
[E]one night his house w[A]ent up in flames, th[E]ey wa[B]nted him in cha[E]ins

[A]we must burn it in the fi[E]re, that thing has nothing to do with god[B]

[E]nelson managed to get[A] away, through the f[E]roste[B]d clay[E]
[E]nelson took the baby [A]to, a lady that he k[E]new[B][E]
[E]the whole town search[A]ed for them in month[E], wit[B]h torches ropes[E] and guns

[A]soon they'll be swinging [E]from the branches, swinging like ragdolls[B] in the wind

[E]they could never leav[A]e the place, they co[E]uld n[B]ever leave a tr[E]ace
[E]one day early in the [A]morn', the baby chil[E]d was[B] gone[E]
[E]nelson went down to t[A]he lake, with a hamm[E]er as[B] a weight[E]
[E]he had water up to hi[A]s nose, when he saw [E]a row[B]ing boat[E]
[E]god came gliding thro[A]ugh the fog, with th[E]e bab[B]y in his hug[E]

[A]god said, I got room for [E]you here. He climbed up and soon they wer[B]e gone

[E]they were never found[A] again, never found [E]again[B], never found a[E]gaaaain!
