Verse 1:

  D                             C
Somewhere in Vietnam a 19 year old soldier walked out of a bar room,
C                                    D
And he said I must be seeing things that bourbon hit me like a baseball bat.
D                              C
In Belfast, Ireland a little lady dropped her shovel in her garden,
C                                   D
She raced across the yard and asked her neighbor Mrs. Clancy what was that?

Verse 2:

D                                C
In Memphis, Tennessee a teacher raised the window closest to the river,
C                                      D
And the children in her classroom swore they heard a choir singing down the street.
D                           C
In Washington, DC a private secretary's lips began to quiver,
C                                  D
And the President just put aside his papers and rose quickly to his feet.


Verse 3:

E                          D
I lay in a cheap motel in the arms of someone else's woman
D                                 E
When a loud explosion rocked the room and turned the morning into night.
E                                  D
I jumped out of bed and ran into the streets with hardly any clothes on
D                                      E
As the sky lit up my heart stood still and I could feel my face was turning white.


Refrain:

A                                     E
All at once the clouds rolled back and there stood Jesus Christ in all his glory,
E                                   B
And I realized the saddest eyes I'd ever seen were looking straight at me.


Verse 4:

  D                           C
I guess I was awakened by the penetrating sound of my own screaming,
C                                  D
And it didn't take me long to stumble out of bed and fall down on my knees.
D                                   C
As tears rolled down my face I cried dear God I'm thankful I was only dreaming,
C                                   D
