INTRO 
G  Em7 G/F#  C  G  Em7 G/F#  C 
 
 
 G                Em7     G/F#             C 
Some things I've done make my conscience burn, 
 
My very spine shutter and squirm. 
G            Em7       G/F#    C 
I only hope that I've learned from my sins. 
G                    Em7    G/F# 
I heard a voice when I was 13, 
      C 
Got baptised and washed up clean. 
         G                       Em7        G/F# 
But the world has a way, if you know what I mean, 
C 
Of scuffin' you up again. 
 
 D         D/F#       G 
- I can't explain a blessed thing, 
        C 
Not a fallen star or a feathered wing, 
    D            D/F#                 G          C 
Or how a man in chains can have the strength to sing. 
D         D/F#     G                            
(2."I'll Fly Away) 
Just one thing is clear to me,                  (3. 
like a bird) 
          C 
There's always more than what appears to be 
               D           D/F#     G      C 
And when the light's just right I swear I 
see...poetry. - 
 
G  Em7  G/F#  C 
 
G                    Em7  G/F# 
Well, somebody made everything 
         C 
From my soul inside out to Saturn's rings,  
        G               Em7  G/F#      C 
How my baby smiles, how Ray Charles sings... 
 
Of course we were created. 
  G                    Em7        G/F# 
Clouds make rain, the ocean makes sand, 
     C 
The earth breathes fire, and lava makes land. 
 G                 Em7   G/F# 
Well, that took a mighty hand 
       C 
And a wild imagination. 
 
- REPEAT CHORUS - 
 
E  A  D  4x 
 
 G                    Em7      G/F# 
Dreams I dreamed came back ten-fold 
           C 
From the friends that I have to the woman I hold. 
G                 Em7      G/F# 
I look down on a street of gold, 
       C 
After all the mud along the way. 
 G                   Em7 G/F#    C 
Sometimes a big ol' mystery can lead right in on me. 
          G             Em7  G/F# 
Says that I am home and I am free... 
     C 
And I'll take that anyday. 
 
- REPEAT CHORUS - 
 
D         D/F#     G                             
Just one thing is clear to me,                   
          C 
There's always more than what appears to be 
               D           D/F#     G      C 
And when the light's just right I swear I 
see...poetry. 
 
G  Em7  G/F#  C
