Bm Em Man, you shoulda seen me way back then Bm F#7 I could tell a tale, I could make it spin Em I could tell you black was white Bm I could tell you day was night F#7 Not only that I could tell you why Bm Back then I could really tell a lie Bm Em I'd hire a kid to say that he was lame Bm F#7 Then I'd touch him and I'd make him walk again Em Then I'd pull some magic trick Bm I'd pretend to heal the sick F#7 I was takin' everything they had to give Bm It wasn't all that bad a way to live Bm Em Well, I'm in this desert town and it's hot as hell Bm F#7 But no one's buyin' what I've got to sell Em I make my lame kid walk Bm I make a dumb guy talk F#7 I'm preachin' up a storm both night and day Bm Everyone just turns and walks away Bm Em I can see that I'm only wasting time Bm F#7 So I head across the street to drink some wine Em This old man comes up to me Bm and says, ?I've seen you on the street? F#7 You're pretty good if I do say so myself Bm But the guy come through last month he was somethin' else Bm Em Instead of callin' down fire from above Bm F#7 He just gets real quiet and talks about love Em And I'll tell you somethin' funny Bm He didn't want nobody's money F#7 I'm not exactly sure what this all means Bm But it's the damnedest thing I swear I've ever seen Bm Em Well, since that time every town is the same Bm F#7 I can't make a dime I don't know why I came Em I decide I'll go and find him Bm And find out who's behind him F#7 He's got everyone convinced that he's for real Bm Well, I figure we can work some kind of deal Bm Em He offers me a job and I say fine Bm F#7 He says I'll get paid off on down the line Em Well, I guess I'll string along Bm Don't see how too much can go wrong F#7 As long as he pays my way I guess I'll follow Bm We're headin' for Jerusalem tomorrow
