Tab By: Guy Theberge (gthebe@po-box.mcgill.ca)

Capo: 2nd Fret

INTRO:  [D]            [Gsus2]     (x2)
        [F#m]   [Em]   [F#m]   [G]

[D]Will I see him on the TV 
[G]Preachin' 'bout the promised land 
He [D]tells me to believe in Jesus 
And [G]steals the money from my hand
[D]Some say he was a [Em]good man 
But [F#m]Lord I think he [G]sinned, yeah 

[D]Twenty-two years of mental tears 
Cries a [G]suicidal Vietnam vet 
Who fought a [D]losing war on a foreign shore 
To find his [G]country didn't want him back 
Their [D]bullets took his best friend in Saigon 
Our lawyers took his [G]wife and kids, no regrets 
In a [D]time I don't remember 
In a [G]war he can't forget 
He cried "[D]Forgive me for ]what I've [Em]done there 
Cause I [F#m]never meant the things I [G]did" 

CHORUS:
And give me something to [D]believe in 
If there's a [G]Lord above 
And give me something to [D]believe in 
Oh, [G]Lord arise

My [D]best friend died a [Em]lonely man 
In some [F#m]Palm Springs hotel [G]room

I [D]got the call last Christmas Eve 
And they [G]told me the news 
I [D]tried all night not to break down and cry 
As the [G]tears rolled down my face 
I [D]felt so cold and empty 
Like a [G]lost soul out of place 
And the [D]mirror, mirror [Em]on the wall 
Sees my [F#m]smile it fades a[G]gain 

CHORUS

Sometimes I [D]wish to God I [Em]didn't know now 
The [F#m]things I didn't know [G]then 
Road you gotta take me home 

INSTRUMENTAL:  [A]          [G]       [A]        [G]
               [D]          [G]       [D]        [G]
               [D]   [Em]   [F#m]     [G]

I drive by the [D]homeless sleeping on a cold dark street
Like [G]bodies in an open grave
Under[D]neath the broken old neon sign
That [G]used to read Jesus Saves
A [D]mile away live the rich folks
And I [G]see how they're living it up
While the [D]poor they eat from hand to mouth
The rich is [G]drinkin' from a golden cup
And it [D]just makes me [Em]wonder
Why so many [F#m]lose, so few [G]win

CHORUS (x3)

Some[D]times I wish I [Em]didn't know now 
The [F#m]things I didn't know [G]then

[D]   [G]
And give me something to [D]believe in
