[Verse 1]
C F
1983 is when things started to make sense
C F
got a colour tv just like our grandparents did
C F
and we struggled to believe that the general-lee-wasn't-red
D7
it was orange instead
[Verse 2]
C F
at sunday school we'd line our winter boots by the heat vent
C F
talk about jesus christ and all the things that he said
C
if you're a leper or a beggar or a thief
F
then you're cool with me then
[Chorus 1]
Am
and go tell it on the mountain
G
go tell it to the deepest sea
F#m7 F
go tell it in the 20 cities the 20 cities in galilea
[Post-chorus]
F C
everybody's armed with walkmans and batteries
F G
she's gotta be the cutest lapsed-catholic you ever seen
E Am G D
playing fur elise like it's the first time it's-ever-been played properly
[Verse 3]
C F
and you hated that vic 20 but it was all your folks could afford
C F
but you still evangelized the commodore 64
C F
we were both so innocent they hadn't gotten to us yet
D7
to see if they could get inside us and rearrange our little heads
[Verse 4]
C F
i could sense mathias roost would be someone i could believe
C F
to spill the beans about what really happens on christmas eve
C F
all the dads are drinking waiting for the in laws to retreat
[Chorus 2]
Am
and go tell it on the mountain
G
go tell it to the deepest sea
F#m7
go tell it to your union leader
F
at the risk of sounding bourgeoisie
[Post-chorus]
