G7You all know the Bible
Is made of C7Testaments old and G7new
GYou been told it's just those two parts
Or only A7one if you're a D7Jew
But G7what if I were to tell you
There's a C7fresh third part out G7there
Which was Gfound by a hip new prophet
Who had a little DDonny Osmond flair?
D7Have you G7heard of the C7All-American G7Prophet?
G7The blonde-haired, C7blue-eyed voice of DGodG7/D

An American man named Joe living on a farm
In the holy land of Rochester, New York
You mean the Mormon Prophet Joseph Smith?
That's right, that young man spoke to God
He spoke to God, and God said
"Joe, people really need to know that the Bible
Isn't two parts, there's a part three to the Bible, Joe
And I, God, have anointed you to dig up this part three
That is buried by a tree on a hill in your backyard"
Wow, God says go to your backyard and start digging?
That makes perfect sense
G7Joseph Smith went up on that hill
And C/Gdug where he was G7told
G7And deep in the ground
Joseph found A7shining plates of D7gold
G7"What are these Golden Plates?
Who C7/Gburied them here and G7why?"
GThen appeared an Angel

If the Plates are Caugreal or not
This is sort of what God is C5going forF  F#  G  
G7Joseph took the Plates home
And wrote C/Gdown what he found inG7side
G7He turned those Plates into a book
Then he A7rushed into town and D7cried
"Hey, God G7spoke to me and gave me

He hath commanded me to G5publish it
And stick it in every home"Bbsus2  Bsus2  Csus2  
CWow, so the Bible is actually a trilogy

Now many people didn't believe the Prophet Joseph Smith
They thought he'd made up this part three
That was buried by a tree on the hill in his backyard
"Liar" But Joe said "This G7is no lie
G7Speak to God all the time and he C/Gtold me to head G7West"
"So I'll take my part three from the hill with the tree
F#7Feel G7free if you'd like to come along with me
F#7To the G7Promised Land"
"The Promised Land?"
"Paradise on the West Coast
Nothing but fruit and fields as far as the eye can Gsee"
