vamp:

Am G D Esus E Am Em7 Am

|:[ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ]:|

G/A Fmaj7/A G/A Am

Reluctant ride in the middle of the belly of a whale

G/A Fmaj7/A

A wheel on fire in the middle of the sky

Dm G Am

Abandoned baby kicking on the side of the road

Fmaj7 G VAMP(1x)

And a wife has died but you're denied the right to cry

Three men walk out proteccted from a furnace of flame

One man cries out from a miry well

See a man in the myrtles and women with the wind in their wings

Fmaj7 G Am G/A Am /C

Understand what these seared lips can tell

Chorus:

Dm G Am

I am the prophet and I smolder and burn

Dm G Em7 Am /G

I scream and cry and wonder why you never seemed to learn

Dm G C D2

To hear with your own ears with your own eyes to see

Fmaj7 G Am

I am the prophet, won't you listen to me?

Fmaj7 G Am (VAMP 1st time)

I am the prophet, won't you listen to me?

I hold out hope to everyone who hears and understands

The Word of God can echo in the voice of a man

He's the shadow of a great rock in a dry and weary land

With the names of the ones He loved carved into His hands

CHORUS

Fmaj7/A G/A Fmaj7/A Am

The sorrow in His anger, my eyes weep His tears

Em7/A Fmaj7/A G/A Am

His life alight in me

G/A Fmaj7/A Am

I am the sword that cuts His people apart

G/A Fmaj7/A Em7 E7

I speak the Word that comforts their faithless hearts

CHORUS (2x)

Fmaj7/A G/A VAMP(2x)

I am the prophet

ad lib postlude
