Gideons Bible(Cavaco chords)

	        Intro: Fm  Bb 


Bbsus4 
Holding on, with both eyes, to things that don't exist 
Peering through the cutting wrist, at grand old mother greedy 
Rolling out the cotton ship, upon the carpet pillow 
Throttling children callously, a messy day with Clancy 


Bb         F   Gm         Gm7 
   Gideon lied and Gideon died 
Eb      F        Bb    F 
   The force of China felt 
Bb         F     Gm        Gm7 
   Gideon smiled as Gideon died 
Eb       F         Bb    F 
   The thought of China held. 

Bbsus4 
Rolling out the golden robes and other foreign language 
Stretching out the verbs and nouns together in the greeting 
Some that felt the blade often, some deep confused emotion 
Struck eye first against the wall of China under fire. 

Bb         F   Gm         Gm7 
   Gideon lied and Gideon died 
Eb      F        Bb    F 
   The force of China felt 
Bb         F     Gm        Gm7 
   Gideon smiled as Gideon died 
Eb       F         Bb    F 
   The thought of China held.
