Man you should have seen me way back  
E5 
then  
B5 
I could tell a tale  
               F#5   
I could make it spin  
E5 
I could tell you black was white  
        B5 
I could tell you day was night  
                               F#5 
Not only that I could tell you why  
                                B5 
Back then I could really tell a lie  
B5                                E5 
Well I'd hire a kid to say he was lame  
         B5                           F#5 
Then I'd touch him and make him walk again  
E5                             B5 
Then I'd pull some magic trick I'd pretend to heal the sick  
                                    F#5 
I was takin' everything they had to give  
                                B5 
It wasn't all that bad a way to live  
B5                                           E5 
Well I'm in this desert town and it's hot as hell  
    B5                            F#5 
But no one's buyin' what I got to sell  
E5                      B5 
I make my lame kid walk I make a dumb guy talk  
                                        F#5 
I'm preachin' up a storm both night and day  
                                  B5 
But everyone just turns and walks away  
B5                                   E5 
Well I can see that I'm only wasting time  
     B5                                 F#5 
So I head across the road to drink some wine  
     E5                            
This old man comes up to me  
             B5 
He says I've seen you on the street  
                                F#5 
You're pretty good if I do say myself  
                                                            B5 
But the guy that come thru here last month he was somethin' else  
B5                                   E5 
Instead of callin' out for fire from above  
   B5                                   F#5 
He just gets real quiet and talks about love  
         E5 
And I'll tell you somethin' funny  
          B5 
He didn't want nobody's money  
                                       F#5 
Now I'm not exactly sure what this all means  
                                              B5 
But it's the damndest thing I swear I've ever seen  

SOLO 


B5                                      E5 
Well since that time every town is the same  
B5 
I can't make a dime,  
                   F#5 
I don't know why I came  
E5 
I decide I'll go and find him  
    B5 
And find out who's behind him  
                                        F#5 
He has everyone convinced that he's for real  
                                   B5 
Well I figure we can work us out a deal  
B5                              E5 
So he offers me a job and I say fine  
   B5                                 F#5 
He says I'll get paid off on down the line  
       E5 
Well I guess I'll string along  
              B5 
Don't see how too much can go wrong  
                                       F#5 
As long as he pays my way I guess I'll follow  
                               B5 
We're headed for Jerusalem tomorrow
