EverybodGy is w  Aorryin' 'bout where they're gonna       go

[Verse 1]
    Some Gsay once gone you're g one forever
     And As      Dome say say you're gonna come b ack
 Some s Day you rGest in the a    rms of the Saviour
 If in s        A  Dinful ways you l        ack
 Some s Day that Gthey're comin' b        ack in a garden
 Bunch oDf c     Garrots and little sweet p       eas
         DI think AI'll juDst       let the mystery         be.
[Chorus]
        DEverybodGy is w  Aonderin' Dwhat and w     here they all came f    rom
EverybodGy is w  Aorryin' 'bout where they're gonna       go
When the Dwhole thing's d        one
But no oGne knows Dfor c  Gertain, and so it's a   ll the same to  me
        DI think AI'll jusDt        let the mystery         be.
[Verse 2]
   Some Ds       Gay they're goin' to a p lace called Glory
 And I a        A  Din't sayin' it ain't a f        act
 But I'vDe h     Geard that I'm on the r  oad to purgatory
 And I d        A  Don't like the sound of t        hat
         DI belieGve in l Dove and GI live my l     ife according   ly
         DBut I cAhoose    Dto let the mystery      be.
[Chorus]
