[Intro 1]
[Am][D][Am][C][D][Am]

[Verse 1]
I've heard [D]it said
[Am]that a wise man
Does not [D]live on bread [Am]alone
But off [D]the [Am]everlasting words
Dripping from the [D]Almighty's [Am]tongue

[Verse 2]
[Am]
And I've heard [D]it said [Am]that a wise man
Does not [D]look at [Am]himself in the mirror
Then [C]turn [D]away [Am]and walk
Forgetting what he [D]looks like
stand[Am]ing there

[Verse 3]
[D]
[Am]Oh, men [D]like t[Dm]hese[Am]
They are just like trees
Planted near streams of [D]water
[Am]With [D]roots that [Am]grow

[Interlude 1]
Deep, deep into the ground
[Am][G][Am]
I've heard [D]it said

[Verse 4]
[Am]that a wise man
Ignores [D]the call from [Am]the corner
Even [D]with her [Am]seductive eyes
He turns away,
[D]he doesn't listen to [Am]her lies

[Verse 5]
[D]
And oh, men like [Am]these
They are just like trees
Planted near streams of [D]water
With roots that [Am]grow

[Verse 6]
Deep, deep into the ground
[Am]
Into [D]the ground[Am]
[Dm]Into [Am]the ground[D]
[Am]Into the ground

[Verse 7]
[Am]
Into [D]the ground[Am]
[Dm]Into [Am]the ground

[Interlude 2]
Into the ground
[Am][D]
And oh, [Am]men

[Verse 8]
[D]like [Am]these
They are just like trees
Planted near streams of [D]water
[Am]With [D]roots that [Am]grow

[Verse 9]
Deep, deep into the ground
[Am]
Into the [C]ground[Am]
[D]Into [Am]the ground[D][Am][D]
Into [Am]the ground

[Verse 10]
[Am]
Into [D]the ground[Am]
Into the ground
Into the ground
