Intro: D5 A5 G5 D5 A5 
 
D5  
Me and Virgil best of friend 
A5 
brothers 'til the very end 
        G5 
made a pact one sunny afternoon 
     D5               A5 
down by cold pepper creek 
 

D5 
Fishing holes, skippin' rocks 
A5 
down the railroad tracks we'd talk 
       G5 
about girls and cars and hopes and dreams 
    D5                   A5 
the way our lives would be 
         

        B5          A5    G5 
and we swore we'd never change 
              B5     A5      G5 
and it would always be the same. 
 

D5 
Virgil met the Holy Ghost 
  A5 
a little younger than most 
       G5 
at the gilappi pentacostal 
     D5              A5 
tent revival halter call 
 

 D5 
Everyone in town was there that day 
 A5 
Virgil gave his soul away 
         G5 
they were praising as I waited 
  D5                A5 
outside the gospel hall 
 

       B5          A5      G5 
And we swore we'd never change 
              B5    A5     G5 
but it would never be the same 
 

              D5 
Cause it was later on that year 
           A5 
the winter that our mama died 
            B5 
when I told Virgil I don't wanna hear 
     G5 
about love and peace inside 
              D5 
cause if this God you know is good 
        A5 
how can he allow the pain 
            B5 
life's been hard enough 
                    G5              D5 A5 B5 G5 D5 A5 B5 G5 
so why would I want to be born again  
 

           D5 
The other night me and Virgil spoke 
    A5 
he travels with the Holy Ghost 
 G5 
holding tent revivals 
     D5                A5 
he's out to seek and save 
 

D5 
Virgil says he's been set free 
    A5 
by Jesus dying on the tree 
    G5 
but I'm not sure what I believe 
   D5               A5 
my questions still remain 
 

       B5         A5       G5 
Virgil says that when he prays 
            B5         A5      G5 
he asks the Lord that I'd be saved 
        B5            A5    G5 
I guess some things never change 
 

D5 A5 B5 G5 A5 D5
