[Paul]
[Verse 1]
G B C G
The Spanish moss drapes the tree line so thick I can barely see
C G D
The path in front of me, walking this morning
G B C G
Underneath the sun, without a cloud to block out Heaven,
C G D
Or maybe up there is the devil. I'm not certain
C G D G
The Lord's Glory is Terrible, but Just, and I am ready
C G D
To go forth into battle as His weapon
[Verse 2]
G B C G
But I ain't seen a single soul since I came into Moss Bluff
C G D
It makes me wonder what I've done to lose God's grace
G B C G
Down the road a great tree reaches up to rival Heaven
C G D
Or maybe up there is the devil, at least in this place
C G D G
The price for God's Protection is Heavy, but I will yield
C G D
So I can go forth into battle with His shield
[Verse 3]
G B C G
A crowd gathers around down there beneath the mighty branches,
C G D
the red leaves and blackened apples of the tree
G B C G
They sing and dance a twisted joy that's not a thing of heaven
C G D
It must be of the Devil, plain to see
C G D G
The flames of the Lord's Justice burn with Cruelty, but Precision
C G D
against all who deny they are His children
[Verse 4]
G B C G
So turn now to the Righteous path, for God will not be waiting
C G D
to grab your soul from Satan at the End Times
G B C G
The crowd scatters away, leaving just one man in the picture
C G D
He breathes of darkness, sips of liquor red as wine
C G D G
And I reach for the lord's sword, but there's nothing for me to grab
C G D
as the sky turns red and the sun goes black
[Tommy]
[Verse 5]
G B C G
Well preacher man, this must be the first day you've been in town
C G D
If you need a guide to what's around, Hell, I'll oblige
G B C G
You see I wipe my ass with scripture, I spit on the gates of heaven
