Chords with lyrics

Key: FF

Intro:

FF


Verse 1:
   FF
They called me to Jordan, said, "Boy, pack your things
       G+G
The greatest bomb is coming to sort out the unclean
      FF
And if you go to Jordan, you'll face your enemies
      G+G
But if you don't, you won't have more than your mother's grief

Verse 2:
       FF
And when you go to Jordan, don't stop for anything
     G+G
When she asks you if you're thirsty, and you are, don't have a drink
        FF
It's not your task to understand the power of your feet
        G+G
You just must walk to Jordan, boy, because it's what we need"

Verse 3:
  FF
So I, to Jordan, with nobody in tow
  G+G
Do walk the day into the end of its shadow
    FF
With a mind to quiet the questions that I keep
    G+G
Like a baby in the womb rocks its mother into sleep

Verse 4:
     FF
And the road's so long
I do not know my name
    G+G
By the time my body falls flat at Jordan's gate
       FF
And I cry, "Brother, sister
Mary Full of Grace
    G+G
Please tell me what I've done to have been pulled up from my place"

Verse 5:
     FF
And the gate unlocks and there before me stands
  G+G
A augmentedA man who is so dark, he has black bullets in his hands
        FF
And he says, "Friend, my friend, do you remember me "
       G+G
And I said, "You must be mistaken, sir
I came from Galilee"

Verse 7:
    FF
"Why, yes
I know, and you have served me well
      G+G
You have found the gates of Jordan despite every kind of hell
    FF
Now, please, you must take this burden off of me
G+G
I will blow my trumpet, boy, and you'll bomb Galilee"

Verse 8:
    FF
"But, sir
I can't, that is my family
     G+G
They are just as dark and troubled and burdened by belief
      FF
I can't be cut off from the shadow that was cast by my own feet
   G+G
To thank God for his calling at the cost of Galilee"

Verse 9:
     FF
Then he grabbed my arm, said, "Take this trumpet here
     G+G
You can play your town a song while I take them by the ear
       FF
This is the way of things, you simply do not understand
     G+G
And I can only show you grace, dear boy, if you will take my hand"


Verse 10:
   FF
So there I laid my body to rest
     G+G
Having reached the gates of Jordan for the journey in itself
     FF
I cannot want to wander any longer through this hell
    G+G
To be left for dead in Jordan and be called Emmanuel
