[G]Oh people, [Em]look around you the [C]signs are [G]everywhere

You're [G]lost inside your [Em]houses there's no [C]time to find [Em7]you [A]now
[A/B]While [D/C#]your [Em7/D]walls are burning and your [D]towers are turning
I'm going to [Em]leave you here and try to get [C]down to the sea [G]somehow
[G] [C]
Verse
The [G]road is filled with [Em]homeless souls every [C]woman, child and [G]man
Who [Cadd9/G]have no [G]idea [F]where they will [C]go but they'll [D]help you if they [Em]can
Now [G]everyone must [Em]have some thought that's going to [C]pull them through

But the [Em]sisters of the sun are going to [C]rock me on the water now

[G] [D]Rock me on the [C]water
[D]Sister will you [G]soothe my [D]fevered [C][D]brow

There's a [C]sea bird [G]above you [F]gliding in one [C]place like [D]Jesus in the [Em]sky
We [G]all must do the [Em]best we can and then [C]hang on to that gospel [A]plow
