[intro] DD EmEm FF GG EE AA D-E F-G
D Em F G
Said I`m scared, an` lord I`m scared, I`m terrified
Em A D-Em F-G
Never been much on religion but I sure enough would like to hear the call
D Em F G
I`m scared lordy, lord I`m shakin` I`m petrified
Em A D-Em F-G
Never been much on religion but I sure enough just fell down on my knees
D A F B A D-Em F-G
I heard the chior singin` something about good will toward man and even sleepin in heavanly peace
D A F B
Stopped by to see St. Thomas on a cold and dreary New York afternoon
Em A
Something in the air was Oh so rare, I don`t know what it was but I know that it`s still right there
D Em F G
Scared lordy lord I`m shakin I`m terrified
Em A D-Em F-G
Never been much on religion but I sure enough just fell down on my knees
Livin in confusion, searching for truth that I never found
I needed something to really believe
Looked toward the heaven, On a dark and stormy winter afternoon
Something in the air was oh so rare, I`m not really sure what it was but I know for sure that it`s still right there
Scared, Hey,ey,ey,ey,ey,ey I`m terrified
Never been much on religion but I sure enough just fell down on my knees
Ohhhhohhhohh
And I`m scared you know I`m shakin` I`m laying awake thinking about it now I`m terrified
Never been much on religion but I sure enough would like to hear the call
Come on now gimmee a sign you`re listening to me,
You hear me talking, you hear me crying it`s confusing to me lord I`m terrified
Never been much on religion but I sure enough just fell down on my knees
Ohhhhohhhohh
The trick to this song is; some parts sound better played in first position and others you`ll need to play up the fretboard
to get the best sound. If you can get a copy of it on tape or CD you`ll see what I mean.
For those of you who missed the Burton Cummings Intimate and Interactive on Canada`s Much More Music station
on Monday Nov. 1, He had Randy on with him playing some guitar and also indicated that they were seriously
considering the possibilty of a Guess Who reunion tour this winter!!
Have Fun
