RESURRECTION by Ray Wiley Hubbard [Capo 2]
INTRO:
[Harp] D G D G D G A D
VERSE 1:
D G D G
There was something heavy coming down like Easter in the air
D G D G
And he woke up Sunday morning with some flowers in his hair
D G D G
Looking like he face of Jesus in his final agony
D G D G
That they found in that old winding sheet way off in Italy
CHORUS:
D G D A D
He was long gone he was gone when they rolled away the stone
VERSE 2:
D G D G
Oh something come a shining in that smoky little room
D G D G
Lit up like a thousand candles in a Middle Eastern tomb
D G D G
And an angel lay on the mattress spoke of history and death
D G D G
With perfume on her lingerie and whiskey on her breath
CHORUS:
D G D A D
He was long gone he was gone when they rolled away the stone
VERSE 3:
D G D G
And they found him in the desert picking flowers for the muse
D G D G
Sometimes he's the fire, sometimes he's the fuse
D G D G
He's loading up his saddlebags out on the edge of wonder
D G D G
One is filled with music the other’s filled with thunder
CHORUS:
D G D A D
He was long gone he was gone when they rolled away the stone
SOLO:
[Harp] D G D G D A D
VERSE 4:
D G D G
Well I never thought to ask him but the thought seemed mighty slim
D G D G
If he ever much believed in God Or God believed in him
D G D G
But they both believed in a woman and the truth that set him free
D G D G
Now he wonders in confusion for he's lost in poetry
CHORUS:
D G D A D
And He was long gone he was gone when they rolled away the stone
VERSE 5:
D G D G
Oh the say there’s something coming but they don’t say what it is
D G D G
And the judgment might be yours and mine and then again it might be his
D G D G
It might be William Bonney, Mescalito or El Cid
D G D G
It might be Spanish Jonathan - again it might be Captain Kidd
CHORUS:
D G D A D
He was long gone he was gone when they rolled away the stone
VERSE 6:
D G D G
And they found him in the desert picking flowers for the muse
D G D G
Sometimes he's the fire, sometimes he's the fuse
D G D G
He's loading up his saddlebags out on the edge of wonder
D G D G
One is filled with music the others filled with thunder
CHORUS [Repeat Twice]:
D G D A D
He was long gone he was gone when they rolled away the stone
OUTRO: [Harp] D G D G D A D
