A Bm
Oh, my land is like a wild goose
D A D E D
Wanders all around everywhere
A Bm
Trembles and it shakes till every tree is loose
D A D E D
It rolls the meadows and it rolls the nails
[A]So take me down to your [Bm]dance floor
D A D E D
And I wonīt mind the people when they stare
A Bm D
Paint a different color on your front door
[D]And tomorrow we will [A]still be [D]the[E]re [D]
[A]Jesus built a ship to sing a [Bm]song to
[D]It sails the rivers and it [A]sails the t[D]ide[E] [D]
[A]Some of my friends donīt know who they [Bm]belong to
[D]Some canīt get a single thing to [A]work [D]ins[E]ide[D]
So [A]take me down to your [Bm]dance floor
[D]And I wonīt mind the people [A]when they [D]sta[E]re [D]
[A]Paint a different color on your [Bm]front door
[D]And tomorrow we will [A]still be [D]the[E]re[D] [A]
SOLO
[A]I loved you every day and now Iīm l[Bm]eaving
[D]And I can see the sorrow [A]in your [D]ey[E]es[D]
[A]I hope you know a lot more than youīre bel[Bm]ieving
[D]Just so the sun donīt hurt you [A]when you[D] cr[E]y [D]
[A]Oh, take me down to your [Bm]dance floor
[D]I wonīt mind the people [A]when they [D]st[E]ar[D]e
[A]Paint a different color on your f[Bm]ront door
[D]And tomorrow we may [A]still be[D] t[E]he[D]re
[Bm]And tomorrow we may [D]still be th[A]ere
