AmMan, you shoulda seen me way back Dmthen
AmI could tell a tale, I could make it E7spin
DmI could tell you black was white
I could Amtell you day was night
Not only that I could tell you E7why
Back then I could really tell a Amlie
AmI'd hire a kid to say that he was Dmlame
Then I'd Amtouch him and I'd make him walk E7again
DmThen I'd pull some magic trick
AmI'd pretend to heal the sick
I was takin' everything they had to E7give
It wasn't all that bad a way to Amlive
AmWell, I'm in this desert town and it's hot as Dmhell
But Amno one's buyin' what I've got to E7sell
DmI make my lame kid walk
AmI make a dumb guy talk
I'm preachin' up a storm both night and E7day
Everyone just turns and walks Amaway
AmI can see that I'm only wasting Dmtime
So I Amhead across the street to drink some E7wine
This Dmold man comes up to me
and says, “I've Amseen you on the street”
You're pretty good if I do say so E7myself
But the guy come through last month he was somethin' Amelse
AmInstead of callin' down fire from Dmabove
He Amjust gets real quiet and talks about E7love
And I'll Dmtell you somethin' funny
He didn't Amwant nobody's money
I'm not exactly sure what this all E7means
But it's the damnedest thing I swear I've ever Amseen
AmWell, since that time every town is the Dmsame
AmI can't make a dime I don't know why I E7came
DmI decide I'll go and find him
And Amfind out who's behind him
He's got everyone convinced that he's foE7r real
Well, I figure we can work some kind of Amdeal
AmHe offers me a job and I say Dmfine
He Amsays I'll get paid off on down the E7line
Well, I Dmguess I'll string along
Don't see how Amtoo much can go wrong
As long as he pays my way I guess I'll E7follow
We're headin' for Jerusalem Amtomorrow

Am Dm

Man, you shoulda seen me way back then

Am E7

I could tell a tale, I could make it spin

I could tell you black was white

I could tell you day was night

Not only that I could tell you why

Back then I could really tell a lie

Am Dm

I'd hire a kid to say that he was lame

Am E7

Then I'd touch him and I'd make him walk again

Then I'd pull some magic trick

I'd pretend to heal the sick

I was takin' everything they had to give

It wasn't all that bad a way to live

Am Dm

Well, I'm in this desert town and it's hot as hell

Am E7

But no one's buyin' what I've got to sell

I make my lame kid walk

I make a dumb guy talk

I'm preachin' up a storm both night and day

Everyone just turns and walks away

Am Dm

I can see that I'm only wasting time

Am E7

So I head across the street to drink some wine

This old man comes up to me

and says, “I've seen you on the street”

You're pretty good if I do say so myself

But the guy come through last month he was somethin' else

Am Dm

Instead of callin' down fire from above

Am E7

He just gets real quiet and talks about love

And I'll tell you somethin' funny

He didn't want nobody's money

I'm not exactly sure what this all means

But it's the damnedest thing I swear I've ever seen

Am Dm

Well, since that time every town is the same

Am E7

I can't make a dime I don't know why I came

I decide I'll go and find him

And find out who's behind him

He's got everyone convinced that he's for real

Well, I figure we can work some kind of deal

Am Dm

He offers me a job and I say fine

Am E7

He says I'll get paid off on down the line

Well, I guess I'll string along

Don't see how too much can go wrong

As long as he pays my way I guess I'll follow

We're headin' for Jerusalem tomorrow
