Verse 1:

  D MajorD                             C majorC
Somewhere in Vietnam a 19 year old soldier walked out of a bar room,
C majorC                                    D MajorD
And he said I must be seeing things that bourbon hit me like a baseball bat.
D MajorD                              C majorC
In Belfast, Ireland a little lady dropped her shovel in her garden,
C majorC                                   D MajorD
She raced across the yard and asked her neighbor Mrs. Clancy what was that?

Verse 2:

D MajorD                                C majorC
In Memphis, Tennessee a teacher raised the window closest to the river,
C majorC                                      D MajorD
And the children in her classroom swore they heard a choir singing down the street.
D MajorD                           C majorC
In Washington, DC a private secretary's lips began to quiver,
C majorC                                  D MajorD
And the President just put aside his papers and rose quickly to his feet.


Verse 3:

E MajorE                          D MajorD
I lay in a cheap motel in the arms of someone else's woman
D MajorD                                 E MajorE
When a loud explosion rocked the room and turned the morning into night.
E MajorE                                  D MajorD
I jumped out of bed and ran into the streets with hardly any clothes on
D MajorD                                      E MajorE
As the sky lit up my heart stood still and I could feel my face was turning white.


Refrain:

A augmentedA                                     E MajorE
All at once the clouds rolled back and there stood Jesus Christ in all his glory,
E MajorE                                   BB
And I realized the saddest eyes I'd ever seen were looking straight at me.


Verse 4:

  D MajorD                           C majorC
I guess I was awakened by the penetrating sound of my own screaming,
C majorC                                  D MajorD
And it didn't take me long to stumble out of bed and fall down on my knees.
D MajorD                                   C majorC
As tears rolled down my face I cried dear God I'm thankful I was only dreaming,
C majorC                                   D MajorD
