Verse 1:
   G+G
There was a wicked messenger
        FF
From Eli he did come
    G+G
With a mind that multiplied the smallest matter
   G+G
When questioned who had sent for him
           FF
He answered with his thumb
    G+G
For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter

Interlude:
G+G  FF G+G

Verse 2:
  G+G
He stayed behind the assembly hall
             FF
It was there he made his bed
   G+G
Oftentimes he could be seen returning
 G+G
Until one day he just appeared
               FF
With a note in his hand which read
   G+G
"The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning"

Interlude:
G+G   FF G+G

Verse 3:
    G+G
Oh, the leaves began to falling
           FF
And the seas began to part
    G+G
And the people that confronted him were many
  G+G
And he was told but these few words
          FF
Which opened up his heart
    G+G
"If ye cannot bring good news, then don't bring any"

Outro:
G+G  FF G+G
