RESURRECTION by Ray Wiley Hubbard       [Capo 2]
INTRO:
        D      G      D      G      D      G      A      D
[Harp]                                                   
VERSE 1:
D               G                         D                     G
There was something heavy coming down like Easter in the air
D                      G                             D                    G
And he woke up Sunday morning with some flowers in his hair
D                        G              D      G
Looking like he face of Jesus in his final agony
D                          G                       D      G
That they found in that old winding sheet way off in Italy
CHORUS:
D       G                D              A                  D
He was long gone he was gone when they rolled away the stone
VERSE 2:
D                    G               D                G
Oh something come a shining in that smoky little room 
 D                G             D                 G
Lit up like a thousand candles in a Middle Eastern tomb
    D                      G              D                G
And an angel lay on the mattress spoke of history and death
      D           G             D                 G
With perfume on her lingerie and whiskey on her breath
CHORUS:
D       G                D                      A                  D
He was long gone he was gone when they rolled away the stone
VERSE 3:
D                           G           D                 G
And they found him in the desert picking flowers for the muse
D                  G        D                    G
Sometimes he's the fire, sometimes he's the fuse
D                    G          D                 G
He's loading up his saddlebags out on the edge of wonder
D                    G          D                     G
One is filled with music the other’s filled with thunder 
CHORUS:
D       G                D                      A                  D
He was long gone he was gone when they rolled away the stone 
SOLO:
        D        G      D         G  D     A      D
[Harp]                                            
VERSE 4:
D                    G         D                                      G
Well I never thought to ask him but the thought seemed mighty slim
D                   G                   D                  G
If he ever much believed in God Or God believed in him 
    D                       G             D                       G
But they both believed in a woman and the truth that set him free
 D                   G                D          G
Now he wonders in confusion for he's lost in poetry 
CHORUS:
D       G                         D             A               D
And He was long gone he was gone when they rolled away the stone 
VERSE 5:
D       G                       D                            G
Oh the say there’s something coming but they don’t say what it is
   D                    G                    D                       G
And the judgment might be yours and mine and then again it might be his
 D                   G           D                G
It might be William Bonney, Mescalito or El Cid
    D                       G              D                   G
It might be Spanish Jonathan  -  again it might be Captain Kidd
CHORUS:
D       G                D                      A                  D
He was long gone he was gone when they rolled away the stone
VERSE 6:
D                          G            D                 G
And they found him in the desert picking flowers for the muse
 D                 G        D                    G
Sometimes he's the fire, sometimes he's the fuse
 D                        G             D                 G
He's loading up his saddlebags out on the edge of wonder
D                   G           D                     G
One is filled with music the others filled with thunder 
CHORUS [Repeat Twice]:
D       G                D                      A                  D
He was long gone he was gone when they rolled away the stone
                D        G      D         G  D     A      D
