[VERSE 1]
Well [Am]my goodness gracious, let me tell you the news.
My h[Am]eads been wet with the midnight dew.
[Am]I've been down on bended knee,
t[Am]alkin to the man from Galiee.
He s[Am]poke to me in a voice so sweet,
I t[Am]hought I heard the shuffle of angels feet.
He [Am]called my name and my heart stood still,
When [Am]He said "Mute
John go do my will"

[Am]Workin in the dark against your fellow man.
But [Am]as sure as God made black and white,
What's d[Am]one in the dark, will be brought to the light.
