[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
Em
Well, I had a dream the other night
Am7 Em
I felt that I saw Jesus in the Pale moonlight
Em
And maybe I could be mistaken
Em Am7 Em
He would not smile upon me nor take my hand
Em
While I stand here all alone deep in the darkness
Am7 Em
Saint Peter falls away into the promised land
[Verse 2]
Em
An angel calls my name from deep beneath the earth
Am7 Em
Come give to me your soul I'll tell you what it's worth
Em
Ill be a drunken fool I've broken every rule
Am7 Em
I know what seems to be right turns out to be wrong
[Verse 3]
Em
Don't let my soul down, oh God, I do confess
Am7 Em
Don't let me suffer here the Devil wants my soul
Em
If I could ask of you a simple question
Am7 Em
I do not want to bug you nor waste your time
[Verse 4]
Em
I sit here drinking among my fellow men
Am7 Em
They all seem happy to me, what is their sin
Em
The largest sacred brook, alive with fish I felt
Am7 Em
A sacred hand's above and darkside is done
Em
Pray tell me who you are, what is your memory
Am7 Em
Don't you know that sin has been my favorite time?
Em
I dreamed that I'd a drink of burbon strenth[?]
Am7 Em
And all I've ever known I wasn't to forget
