[Intro]
G G C D G G C D

[Verse 1]
G C
Once upon a time and not so long ago,
D C G
When things were much more simple and time would travel slow,
C
There came a righteous stranger with a bible in his hand,
D C G
To educate the sinners and liberate the land.

[Chorus 1]
G C
The sins of the fathers are visited from old,
D C G
In a never ending circle of people bought and sold,
C
So the wretched of the earth will huddle from the cold,
D C G
As the ship of fools goes sailing on an ocean black as gold.

[Verse 2]
G C
So come and sit beside me and let my tale unfold,
D C G
Of a land of milk and honey where the truth must not be told,
C
As men of rhyme and reason let the devil take their soul,
D C G
For greed and fame and fortune and a river black as gold.

[Chorus 2]
G C
The sins of the fathers are visited from old,
D C G
In a never ending circle of people bought and sold,
C
So the wretched of the earth will huddle from the cold,
D C G
As the ship of fools goes sailing on an ocean black as gold.

[Saxophone Middle]
G G C C D D C G G G C C D D C G

[Verse 3]
G C
And all the non-believers were hiding from the light,
D C G
As a thousand burning crosses were scattered in the night,
