[Verse 1]
[C]Passing through, passing through
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue
Glad that I ran into you
Tell the people that you
Saw me passing through

[Verse 2]
I saw Adam [C]leave the garden
With an apple in his hand
I said, "Now you're out
What are you gonna [D]do?[C]
Plant [G]some [C]crops and pray for rain
Maybe raise a little Cain
I'm an orphan and I'm
[G]Only passing [C]through"[D][C][G][C]
I saw Jesus on the cross
On that hill called Calvary
"Do you hate mankind for what
They've done to [D]you?"[C]

Things to [D]do, [C]it's getting late
I've so little time and
I'm [G]just [C]passing

through"

[Verse 3]
I shivered with George [C]Washington
One night at Valley Forge
"Why do the soldiers freeze

Even die for what is right
Even though they know they're
[G]Only [C]passing through"

[Verse 4]
[C]I was at Franklin Roosevelt's side
Just a [D]while be[C]fore he died he said

Lord, a man is just a man
We're all brothers and we're

[Outro 1]
Only passing through"
