Sweet Chariot

• E

((VERSE))
E            F#          G#m            F#
Ode to joy, my lover boy's speaking in 
E                               F#                       G#m       F#
tongues-And the sky's bleeding gray.................
E             F#          G#m               B
Now I pull my bag o' prayers out
   C#sus         C#            Em
I hope to find one to save the day

And he judged my love, my lust
My taste with the straightest face
As I crumple up inside
A papier-mache, a shell with no name


((CHORUS))
E     F#     G#m    F#
Sweet..............chariot
E             B        G#m        A
Come, come, take me away from my 
E         F#      G#m      F#
fear- Sweet......chariot
E           B   G#m          A
Come, I have to get out of here

And he took me further than I wanted to go
Underneath his shoe
And it leaves me hungry for a touch I can't feel
A touch he won't do

And I thought the circle, it had an end
I'm old enough to know
My denial is how we began and how we will end
And now that I know

Sweet chariot
Come, come, take me away from my fear
Sweet chariot
Come, I have to get out of here

((BRIDGE))
D      A          F#m             G
  Oh,....the blood that's in my 
D               A               F#m      G
veins- So cold and frozen from the 
D             A          F#m          G            F
stings- Oh, it comes and goes in waves
F                                    E      F#   G#m   F#................    
Am I really here?...................................................

(Repeat verse chords once)

Sweet chariot
Come, come, take me away from my fear
Sweet chariot
Can we leave him a trail of my tears?
Sweet chariot
It's been, it's been the longest of years
Sweet chariot
Come, I have to get out of here
