Verse 1:

      E5           C5           D5           G5   
I was taught to be proud of where I come from
C5           D5         E5          A5  
And I'm so sad that I'm the only one.
E5             C5                   D5        G5    
Like a cold preacher boy talking only to himself
C5            D5                A5          A5       A5
How did he think that he got to promised lands?

Sometimes I'm confused and I don't know where I'm going,
Mistaking gentle rivers for that cold wind a-blowing.
I'm always sure of an angel when she gets here,
But I never see her coming and I miss her when she disappears.



Chorus: 

D5             C5
Gone, gone, gone,
G5              D5
Not gone for long,
            D5            C5           G5           D5
If you're taught to be proud of where you come from.

Gone, gone, gone,
Not gone for long,
If you're taught to be proud of where you come from.



Verse 2:

       E5        C5                   D5               G5
It's hard to be cool when you're playing for the prophets;
       C5       D5             E5            A5 
They really know if you got it or you lost it.
       E5         C5               D5                 G5
I'll sing this song but I don't know where it came from ,
   C5                D5                 A5            A5       A5
Reminds me of a mountainside to stand upon and gently hum.



Chorus



Verse 3:

Sometimes I'm confused
I don't know where I'm going,
Mistaking gentle rivers for that cold wind a-blowing.
And I'm always sure of an angel when she gets here,
But I never see her coming and I miss her when she disappears.
