Kokomo Prayer Vigil Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]
The loneliest road in
America is 20 ,000 miles
all the way around.
Don't get lost running east of
St.
Louis.
There ain't no money if
this thing breaks down.
America comes in two great flavors
of [A]angry voices on the [D]radio
This is
[A]Preacher
Bob calling on [D]election eve
for a [A]prayer night vigil in
[D]Kokomo
So I drove that car to my back, wore out
till I was talking to myself,
making animal sounds
growling, howling, crying blind
rubbing my hands
on my face and crown
pulled into a truck stop
jammed with cars
donuts, coffee, gasoline
lined up for king -size candy bars
Red
Bull 4 -Pack
Hick
Routines
America comes in two great flavors
Angry voices on the radio
This is
[A]Preacher
Bob
Cohn on [D]election eve
For a prayer night [A]vi gil in
[D]Kokomo
A prayer night vigil in
Kokomo
East of
El
Paso, near the border, a sudden checkpoint,
stopping cars, a lonesome machine
gun jackboot soldier points the weapon and his eyes meet mine,
a misunderstanding, I
keep driving he gets excited and starts
to shout what's your hurry then [A]he aims
the [D]barrel at my head and
he waves me out
America comes in two great flavors of
[A]Red
Sox on the [D]radio this is [A]preacher
Bob calling [D]election eve for a
[A]prayer night vigil in
Kokomo [D]for a [A]prayer night
vigilant
[D]Kokomo.
Once I hitched out at
D .C. early spring to
New
York
City with a couple of friends.
1970
Vietnam
March, half a million strong, faced the
President, and [G]the
Army was on the
[D]treasury roof,
machine [G]guns trained [D]on the mighty crowd.
I [G]was 15 and the [D]world seemed wide compared to [G]what I
[D]see here now [G]compared to what I[D] see here now
Amer[A]ica comes in two [D]great flavors
of [A]angry voices on the [D]radio
This is [A]preacher
Bob calling on [D]election eve for
[A]a prayer night vigil in
