[Verse 1]
[D]Saints and children we have gat[Bm]hered her[D]e to hea[G]r the sacred sto[D]ry
And I'm [F#]glad to bring it [Bm]to you with
my be[G]st rhyming and rhyth[D]m
Cause I [A]know the thirsty [Bm]listen and
down [F#]to the waters c[Bm]ome
And the [D]Holy King of Is[G]rael
loves me [Asus4]here in Amer[A]ica
[D][G][D][Em][Asus4][D][G][D][Em][A]

[Verse 2]
[D]And if you listen
to my [Bm]song[D]s I hope y[G]ou hear the water falling
[D]I hope you[F#] feel the oceans cra[Bm]shing on
[G]the coast of north New [D]England
I wish [A]I could be there just to see [Bm]them,
two [F#]summers past I [Bm]was
And the [D]Holy King of Is[G]rael
loves me [Asus4]here in A[A]merica

[Verse 3]
[D]And[Em] if I were a pa[A]inter I do
[D]not know which [G]I'd paint
[Em]The calling of the ancient s[A]tars or as
[D]sembling of the saints
And there's [Em]so much beauty
[A]around us for just [C]two eyes to [G]see
[Em]But everywhere I go I'[F#m]m looking

[Verse 4]
[D]And[Asus4] once I went to[D][Bm]
[A]Appalachia for my fat[G]her he was born the[D]re
And I [F#]saw the mountains [Bm]waking with
the in[G]nocence of chil[D]dren
And my [F#m]soul is still there with t[Bm]hem
[F#]wrapped in the songs they [Bm]brought
And the [D]Holy King of Is[G]rael loves
me [Asus4]here in America[D]

[Verse 5]
[Em]And I've seen by the h[A]ighways
on a mil[D]lion exit [G]ramps
[Em]Those two-legged memorials me[A]morials
to [D]the laws of happenstance
Waiting [Em]for four-wheeled messiahs
mes[A]siahs to [C]take them home [G]again
[Em]But I am home anyw[F#m]here if
[G]You are where I [Asus4]am
[A]And if you

[Verse 6]
[D]listen to my [Bm]song
s I hope [G]you hear the water falling
[D]I hope you[F#] feel the oceans cra[Bm]shing
on [G]the coast of north New England
[D]I wish I c[A]ould be there just t[Bm]o see them,
two [F#]summers past I [Bm]was
And the [D]Holy King of Is[G]rael loves me [Asus4]here in A[A]mer
