Bm Man you should have seen me way back Em then Bm I could tell a tale F#7 I could make it spin Em I could tell you black was white Bm I could tell you day was night F#7 Not only that I could tell you why Bm Back then I could really tell a lie Bm Em Well I'd hire a kid to say he was lame Bm F#7 Then I'd touch him and make him walk again Em Bm Then I'd pull some magic trick I'd pretend to heal the sick F#7 I was takin' everything they had to give Bm It wasn't all that bad a way to live Bm Em Well I'm in this desert town and it's hot as hell Bm F#7 But no one's buyin' what I got to sell Em Bm I make my lame kid walk I make a dumb guy talk F#7 I'm preachin' up a storm both night and day Bm But everyone just turns and walks away Bm Em Well I can see that I'm only wasting time Bm F#7 So I head across the road to drink some wine Em This old man comes up to me Bm He says I've seen you on the street F#7 You're pretty good if I do say myself Bm But the guy that come thru here last month he was somethin' else Bm Em Instead of callin' out for fire from above Bm F#7 He just gets real quiet and talks about love Em And I'll tell you somethin' funny Bm He didn't want nobody's money F#7 Now I'm not exactly sure what this all means Bm But it's the damndest thing I swear I've ever seen Bm Em Well since that time every town is the same Bm I can't make a dime, F#7 I don't know why I came Em I decide I'll go and find him Bm And find out who's behind him F#7 He has everyone convinced that he's for real Bm Well I figure we can work us out a deal Bm Em So he offers me a job and I say fine Bm F#7 He says I'll get paid off on down the line Em Well I guess I'll string along Bm Don't see how too much can go wrong F#7 As long as he pays my way I guess I'll follow Bm We're headed for Jerusalem tomorrow From Emmylou Harris "Cowgirl's Prayer" Asylum Records 1993 BMI Hayes Court Music/Irving Music
