VERSE 1:
G+G C/GC/G G+G Gsus2Gsus2 G+G
I believe in prophecy,
E minor 7Em7 C/GC/G G+G Gsus2Gsus2 G+G
Some folks see things not everybody can see.
E minor 7Em7 D MajorD C/GC/G G+G Gsus2Gsus2 G+G
And once in a while, they pass the secret along to you and me,
E minor 7Em7 G+G Gsus2Gsus2 G+G
And I believe in miracles.
E minor 7Em7 C/GC/G G+G Gsus2Gsus2 G+G
Something sacred burning in every bush and tree,
E minor 7Em7 D MajorD G+G Gsus2Gsus2 G+G
We can all learn to sing the songs the angels sing.
CHORUS 1:
C majorC D MajorD E minor 7Em7
Yeah, I believe in God,
C majorC G+G C/GC/G Gsus2Gsus2 G+G
And God ain't me.
VERSE 2:
G+G C/GC/G G+G Gsus2Gsus2 G+G
I've travelled around the world,
E minor 7Em7 C/GC/G G+G Gsus2Gsus2 G+G
Stood on mighty mountains and gazed across the wilderness.
E minor 7Em7 D MajorD G+G Gsus2Gsus2 G+G
And I've never seen a line in the sand or a diamond in the dust,
E minor 7Em7 G+G Gsus2Gsus2 G+G
And as our fate unfurls.
E minor 7Em7 C/GC/G G+G Gsus2Gsus2 G+G
Every day that passes I'm sure about a little bit less,
E minor 7Em7 D MajorD G+G Gsus2Gsus2 G+G
Even my money keeps telling me, it's God I need to trust.
CHORUS 2:
C/GC/G D MajorD E minor 7Em7
And I believe in God,
C/GC/G G+G C/GC/G Gsus2Gsus2 G+G
And God ain't us.
VERSE 3:
G+G C/GC/G G+G Gsus2Gsus2 G+G
And God of my little understanding, don't care what name I call,
E minor 7Em7 C/GC/G G+G Gsus2Gsus2 G+G
And whether or not I believe doesn't matter at all.
N/C G+G Gsus2Gsus2 G+G
I receive the blessings,
E minor 7Em7 D MajorD G+G Gsus2Gsus2 G+G
Every day on Earth's another chance to get it right.
E minor 7Em7 C/GC/G G+G Gsus2Gsus2 G+G
Let this little light of mine shine and rage against the night,
E minor 7Em7 G+G Gsus2Gsus2 G+G
Just another lesson.
E minor 7Em7 C/GC/G G+G Gsus2Gsus2 G+G
Maybe someone's watching and wondering what I got,
E minor 7Em7 D MajorD G+G Gsus2Gsus2 G+G
And Maybe this is why I'm here on Earth, and maybe not.
CHORUS 3 & CODA:
C/GC/G D MajorD E minor 7Em7
But I believe in God,
C/GC/G G+G C/GC/G Gsus2Gsus2 G+G (Fade)
And God is God.
Joan Baez: "Thank you!"
