The Book of Mormon - All-American Prophet
Tabbed by: damienos
Tuning: Standard
Capo on 1st fret
In these parts without chords they're singing acapella, play along the song and
you'll figure it out :)
G7
You all know the Bible
C7 G7
Is made of Testaments old and new
G
You been told it's just those two parts
A7 D7
Or only one if you're a Jew
G7
But what if I were to tell you
C7 G7
There's a fresh third part out there
G
Which was found by a hip new prophet
D
Who had a little Donny Osmond flair?
D7 G7 C7 G7
Have you heard of the All-American Prophet?
G7 C7 D G7/D
The blonde-haired, blue-eyed voice of God
D D Db C7 Am7
He didn't come from the Middle East
F7 D7
Like those other holy men
C Am Fmaj7 G Bbsus2 Bbsus2 Bsus2 Csus2 F F# G
No, God's favorite prophet was All-American
F F# G
I'm gonna take you back to Biblical times, 1823
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
G7
Joseph Smith went up on that hill
C/G G7
And dug where he was told
G7
And deep in the ground
A7 D7
Joseph found shining plates of gold
G7
"What are these Golden Plates?
C7/G G7
Who buried them here and why?"
G
Then appeared an Angel
F F# G
His name was Moroni "I am Moroni"
G7 C/G
The All-American Angel
G7 C7 D
My people lived here long, long ago
Db7 C Am7
This is a history of my race
F7 D7
Please read the words within
C Am Fmaj7
We were Jews who met with Christ
G Bbsus2 Bbsus2 Bsus2 Csus2
But we were All-American
F/C C
But don't let anybody see these plates except for you
C7
They are only for you to see
C6
Even if people ask you to show the Plates to them, don't
C6
Just copy them onto normal paper
C6
Even though this might make them question
Caug
If the Plates are real or not
C5 F F# G
This is sort of what God is going for
G7
Joseph took the Plates home
C/G G7
And wrote down what he found inside
G7
He turned those Plates into a book
A7 D7
Then he rushed into town and cried
G7
"Hey, God spoke to me and gave me
C/G G7
This blessed ancient tome
G5
He hath commanded me to publish it
Bbsus2 Bsus2 Csus2
And stick it in every home"
C
Wow, so the Bible is actually a trilogy
And The Book of Mormon is Return of the Jedi?
F F# G
I'm interested
N.C.
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
G7
"Liar" But Joe said "This is no lie
G7 C/G G7
Speak to God all the time and he told me to head West"
"So I'll take my part three from the hill with the tree
F#7 G7
Feel free if you'd like to come along with me
F#7 G7
To the Promised Land"
"The Promised Land?"
"Paradise on the West Coast
G
Nothing but fruit and fields as far as the eye can see"
D7 G7 C7 G7
Have you heard of the All-American Prophet?
G7 C7 D G/D
He found a brand new book about Jesus Christ
D C# C7 Am7
We are following him to Paradise
F7 D7
We call ourselves Mormon
C Am Fmaj7 G Bbsus2 E
And our new religion is All-American
A/E E
Wow, how much does it cost?
E5 E7/G#
The Mormons kept on searching for
Am
That place to settle down
F F7/A
And every time they thought they'd found it
Bbm
They got kicked out of town
F# F#/A#
And even though people wanted
Bm Bm/A
To see the Golden Plates
G Em
Joseph never showed 'em
C7 B7
I have maggots in my scrotum
Umm okay, well, anyway
Em
Now comes the part of our story
C G D/F#
That get a little bit sad
Em
On the way to the Promised Land
F D
Mormons made people mad
C Am
Joseph was shot by an angry mob
F D7
And knew he'd soon be done
C Am F G
"You must lead the people now
Bbsus2 F
My good friend, Brigham Young"
F C
"Oh God, why are you letting me die
C7
Without having me show people the Plates
C6
They'll have no proof I was telling the truth or not
Caug
They'll have to believe it just 'cause
Csus2
Oh, I guess that's kinda what you were going for"
A Dsus2 A
The Prophet Joseph Smith died for what he believed in
A
But as followers, they kept heading West
F#m B9
And Brigham Young led them to Paradise
E A D A Ebm
A sparkling land in Utah they called Salt Lake City
F# A
And there, the Mormons multiplied
C#m
And made big Mormon families
F#m
Generation to generation
B7 E
Until finally, they made me
A D/A A D
And now it's my job to lead you
D D#dim7 F13
Where those early settlers were led long ago
Bb7 Eb7 Bb7
Have you heard of the All-American Prophet?
(Kevin Price)
Bb7 Eb7 F Bb/F
The next in line to be the voice of God
(My best friend)
F E Eb Cm7
He's gonna do something incredible
Ab7 F7
And be Joseph Smith again
Eb Cm Abmaj7 Bb Db2 Dbsus2 Dsus2 Ebsus2 Ab A
Because Kevin Price the Prophet is All-American
N.C.
If you order now we'll also throw in a set of steak knives!
Eb5
All-American
