John Denver

The ^D Prodigal Son, he'd ^A been away a ^Bm while
He was ^G working his way back ^A home now over ^D many a ragged
mile
When he ^G finally crossed the ^Em river
And his ^D father ^F#m saw him ^Bm near ^G
There was a ^D joyful sound ^A for all the world to ^D hear
I listened to what the ^A Good Book said,
And it ^G made good sense to ^Bm me
Talkin' 'bout ^D reapin' what you're ^F#m sowin'
People ^G tryin' to be ^A free
Now we've ^Bm got new names and ^G faces,
^F# This time a ^Bm round,
^G Gospel ^D Changes, Lord, ^A still goin' ^D down
^D Jesus, He ^A did not doubt His ^Bm gifts
Though He ^G knew that He ^A had not long to ^D live
He ^G took care of the ^Em business
Of ^D teachin' us ^F#m how to ^Bm fly ^G
Then He ^D bowed his head ^A and laid down to ^D die
I listened to what the ^A Good Book said,
And it ^G made good sense to ^Bm me
Talkin' 'bout ^D reapin' what you're ^F#m sowin'
People ^G tryin' to be ^A free
Now we've ^Bm got new names and ^G faces,
^F# This time a ^Bm round,
^G Gospel ^D Changes, Lord, ^A still goin' ^D down
^D Jerusalem, I ^A see you standing ^Bm high
But if you ^G lose your sal ^A vation there'll be
^D no tears left to cry
Now ^G some men worship a ^Em Golden Calf
While ^D others are ^F#m bought and ^Bm sold ^G
And if we ^D live like that ^A brother we pay the ^D toll
I listened to what the ^A Good Book said,
And it ^G made good sense to ^Bm me
Talkin' 'bout ^D reapin' what you're ^F#m sowin'
People ^G tryin' to be ^A free
Now we've ^Bm got new names and ^G faces,
^F# This time a ^Bm round,
^G Gospel ^D Changes, Lord, ^A still goin' ^D down (2x)
Still goin', ^G down, yeah, yeah, ^D yeah, still goin' ^G down
^G Gospel ^D Changes, Lord, ^A still goin' ^D down
I hope that one was enjoyed.
