[Intro 1]
[G][D][Am][Em][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
When the roll [G]is called
On that [D]final [C]day
Well, I'm gonna walk right up
[Em]And shake my Sa[D]viours [C]hand

[Verse 2]
[C]
And though the storm's passed [G]over
And the [D]sun is in its [C]place
It took a long time
And the [Em]rain, [D]how [C]I know [G]it

[Verse 3]
[D]An d all the beasts,
how they do [Am]thrive[C][D]
Oh, the little things, so full of [Am]life[C][D]
And I placed a lock upon the [A]door[C][D]
Now none may drum the house of [Em]joy
[B][C]

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][Am][Em][C][G][C]

[Verse 4]
I heard they made him [G]walk
Yeah, [D]with chains [C]upon his legs
And he walked a while 'til he'd
[Em]come to the [D]place
[C]

[Verse 5]
And his true compan[G]ion
Oh, I think [D]John [C]was his name
Oh, he wrote the book so [Em]we could
[D]know [C]thi[D]s[C][G]

[Verse 6]
[D]Now all the beasts,
how they [G]do thrive[Am][C][D]
Oh, the little things so full [Am]of life[C][D]
Yes, I placed a lock upon
the [Am]door[C][D]

[Outro 1]
No thief went in the house [Em]of joy[B]
[C][G][D][Am][Em][C][G][D][Am][Em][C]
