Abm                        Bm       C#m
John the Revelator put him in an elevator
         Abm               Bm   C#m
Take him up to the highest high
         Abm                     Bm        C#m
Take him up to the top where the mountains stop
Abm                        Bm   C#m
Let him tell his book of lies

Abm                       Bm        C#m
John the Revelator he?s a smooth operator
     Abm                      Bm   C#m
It?s time we cut him down to size
Abm                      Bm             C#m
Take him by the hand and put him on the stand
Abm                Bm  C#m
Let us hear his alibis

   Abm                 Bm    C#m
By claiming God as his only right
     Abm                     Bm   C#m
He's stealing a god from the Israelites
Abm                   Bm       C#m
Stealing a god from a Muslim, too
Abm                   Bm          C#m
There is only one god through and through

  Abm             E      Eb

Abm              E        Eb          Abm              E   Eb
Seven lies, multiplied by seven, multiplied by seven again
Abm               E     Eb
Seven angels with seven trumpets
          Abm                 E     Eb
Send them home on the morning train

     Abm                  E             Eb
Well who?s that shouting?  John the Revelator!
Abm                     E   Eb
All he ever gives us is pain
     Abm                  E             Eb
Well who?s that shouting?  John the Revelator!
Abm                       E     Eb
He should bow his head in shame
