Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Som[Bm]ewher[Am]e in[C] Vi[D]etnam a 19-year-old[Bm]
soldier soldier [D]walked out of a [C]barroom
And he said I must be see[G]ing things that
[Am]bourbon hit [C]me like [D]a baseball bat
In Belfast Ireland a little [Bm]lady dropped
[D]her shovel [C]in her garden
She raced across [G]the yard and [Bm]ask
her neigh[Am]bor Mrs C[C]lancy what w[D]as that
In Memphis Tennessee a teacher [Bm]raised
the window [D]closest the [C]river
And the children in [Bm]her classroom swore
[Am]they'd heard a choir singing [C]down [D]the street
In Washington DC a private sec
[Bm]retary's [D]lips began [C]to quiver
And the President just [Bm]put aside his
[Am]papers and rose quickly [C]to his [D]feet
[E]I lay in a[Eb] cheap motel i[C#m]n the arms
[E]of someone else's [D]woman
When a loud explosion [A]rocked [Bm]the room
and turned the [D]morning into [E]night
I jumped out of bed and ran in[C#m]to
the street [E]with hardly any [D]clothes [A]on[D]
[A]As [D]the sky lit up my heart sto[A]od sti[D]ll and
[Bm]I could feel my [A]face was [D]turnin' [E]white
[A]All at once the clouds rolled back and there
stood Jesus Christ in all [E]his glory
And I realized the sad[Eb]dest eyes I'd [C#m]ever
seen were [B]lookin' straight [F#]at me[B]
I guess [D]I was awakened by the p[Bm]enetrating
[D]sounds of my own scream[C]in'
And it didn't take [G]me long to stumble
[Am]out of bed a[C]nd fall down on [D]my knees
As tears rolled down my face [A]I cried dear [Bm]God
I'm thankful [D]I was only dreami[C]n'
And if I never go [G]to hell Lord it'll [Am]be
because you scared it out of me
