Verse

 Whoah and I know a Emman, he came from my hGometown

 He wore his pEmassion for his wDoman like a thorny cCrown C7

 He said DGolores, I live in Emfear

 My love for yGou's so overpowDering, I'm afCraid that I Dwill disaGppear

Chorus x1

I know a woman, (who) became a wife

These are the very words she uses to describe her life

She said a good day ain't got no rain

She said a bad day is when I lie in the bed

And I think of things that might have been

Chorus x1

[F to C then back to G]

And I know a father who had a son

He longed to tell him all the reasons for the things he'd done

He came a long way just to explain

He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping

Then he turned around and he headed home again

Chorus x1

Whoah God only knows, God makes his plan

The information's unavailable to the mortal man

We're workin' our jobs, collect our pay

Believe we're gliding down the highway, when in fact we're slip sliding away

Chorus x2

Then play G and Em for a while and end on Em
