This song is nothing but walk downs during the verses.
Capo 2
SomeCwhere in VietC/Bnam a nineteen Amyear old soldier Am/Gstumbled from a Bbar room
He Bsaid I must be B/Aseeing things, that B/Gbourbon hit me B/Flike a baseball Cbat
In CBelfast, IrelandC/B a little Amlady dropped a Am/Gshovel in her Dgarden
As she Braced across her B/Ayard and asked her B/Gneighbor Mrs. B/FClancy "What was Cthat?"
In CMemphis, TennesC/Bsee a teacher Amraised the window Am/Gclosest to the Briver
And the Bchildren in her B/Aclassroom swore they B/Gheard a choir B/Fsingin down the Cstreet
In CWashington, D.C/BC. a private Amsecretary's Am/Glips began to Bquiver
And the BPresident just B/Aput aside some B/Gpapers and rose B/Fquickly to his Cfeet
DI lay in a D/C#cheap motel D/Bin the arms of D/Asomeone else's Cwoman
CWhen a loud expC/Blosion rocked the Amroom and turned the Am/Gmorning into Dnight
DI jumped out of D/C#bed and ran inD/Bto the street with D/Ahardly any Cclothes on
And Cas the sky lit C/Bup my heart stood Amstill and I could Am/Gfeel my face turn Dwhite
[Bridge]
GAll at once the G/F#clouds rolled back and Emthere stood Jesus Christ in all his Dglory
And I Drealized the D/C#saddest eyes I'd D/Bever seen were D/Alookin straight at Ame E A
I Cguess I was awaC/Bkened by the Ampenetrating Am/Gsound of my own Dscreaming
It Bdidn't take me B/Along to stumble B/Gout of bed and B/Ffall down on my Cknees
As Ctears rolled down my C/Bface I cried "Dear AmGod I'm thankful Am/GI was only Ddreaming
If BI never go to B/Ahell Lord it?ll B/Gbe because you B/Fscared it out of Cme
