Tell me who's that writing, ah tell me who's that writing 

Ah tell me who's that writing (John the Revelator) 
             G            A6    D 
He wrote the book of the Seven Seas

You know God walked down in the cool of the day 

Called Adam by his name 

He refused to answer 
              G     A6      D           G    A6    D 
'Cause he was naked and ashamed, yeah naked and ashamed 
 
 
Who's that writin', ah tell me who's that writin' (John the Revelator) 
Tell me who's that writin' (John the Revelator) 
He wrote the book of the seven seas 
 
 
You know Christ had 12 apostles 
And 3 he led away 
said "Walk with me one hour" 
As I go yonder to pray" 
 
 
Tell me who's that writin' (John the Revelator) 
Tell me who's that writin' (John the Revelator) 
Tell me who's that writin' (John the Revelator) 
He wrote the book of the seven seas 
 
SOLO 
 
You know that Christ came on Easter Mornin' 
Mary and Martha were there to see 
Go tell my deciples 
To meet me in Galilee 
 
 
Yeah and when he looked around 
He saw people jus' like friends 
They tell me eyes like fire, breath like sea 
And that voice he was singin' in  
Take me higher... 
 
Tell me who's that writin, tell me who's that writin' (John the Revelator) 
Tell me who's that writin' (John the Revelator) 
He wrote the book of the seven seas
