Intro:
C Am, Dm G7
Verse 1:
C
They say that heaven is;
Am
10 zillion light years away,
Dm
And just the pure at heart,
G7
Will walk her, righteous streets, someday.
C
They say that heaven is;
Am
10 zillion light years away,
Fdim
But if there is a God;
F7 Em
We need Him now; "Where is your God?"
F7 Ab+ Am7
That's what my friends ask me.
D7 Dm
And I say it's taken him so long,
F/G C
'Cos we've got so far to come.
Tell me people;
Verse 2:
C
Why can't they say that hate is;
Am
10 zillion light years away?
Dm
Why can't the light of good,
G7
Shine God's love in every soul?
C
Why must my colour black;
Am
Make me a lesser man?
Fdim
I thought this world was made,
F7 Em
For every man, he loves us all;
F7 Am Ab+ Am7
That's what my God tells me.
D7 Dm
And I say it's taken him so long,
F/G C
'Cos we've got so far to come.
Chorus 1:
C
But in my heart I can feel it,
Am
Feel his spirit, woah oh woah oh,
C Am
Feel it, yeah, feel his spirit.
