Verse 1:

      Em (022000@1)         C (x32010@1)         D (xx0232@1)         G (320003@1) 
I was taught to be proud of where I come from
C (x32010@1)         D (xx0232@1)       Em (022000@1)        A (x02220@1)
And I'm so sad that I'm the only one.
Em (022000@1)           C (x32010@1)                 D (xx0232@1)      G (320003@1)  
Like a cold preacher boy talking only to himself
C (x32010@1)          D (xx0232@1)              A (x02220@1)        A (x02220@1)     AHow (x02220@1)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: 

D (xx0232@1)           CGone, (x32010@1)gone, gone,
G (320003@1)            DNot (xx0232@1)gone for long,

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



Verse 2:

       Em (022000@1)      C (x32010@1)                 D (xx0232@1)             GIt's (320003@1)hard to be cool when you're playing for the prophets;

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.
