This song is nothing but walk downs during the verses.

Capo 2

C C/B Am Am/G B

Somewhere in Vietnam a nineteen year old soldier stumbled from a bar room

B B/A B/G B/F C

He said I must be seeing things, that bourbon hit me like a baseball bat

C C/B Am Am/G D

In Belfast, Ireland a little lady dropped a shovel in her garden

B B/A B/G B/F C

As she raced across her yard and asked her neighbor Mrs. Clancy "What was that?"

C C/B Am Am/G B

In Memphis, Tennessee a teacher raised the window closest to the river

B B/A B/G B/F C

And the children in her classroom swore they heard a choir singin down the street

C C/B Am Am/G B

In Washington, D.C. a private secretary's lips began to quiver

B B/A B/G B/F C

And the President just put aside some papers and rose quickly to his feet

D D/C# D/B D/A C

I lay in a cheap motel in the arms of someone else's woman

C C/B Am Am/G D

When a loud explosion rocked the room and turned the morning into night

D D/C# D/B D/A C

I jumped out of bed and ran into the street with hardly any clothes on

C C/B Am Am/G D

And as the sky lit up my heart stood still and I could feel my face turn white

Bridge:

G G/F# Em D

All at once the clouds rolled back and there stood Jesus Christ in all his glory

D D/C# D/B D/A A E A

And I realized the saddest eyes I'd ever seen were lookin straight at me

C C/B Am Am/G D

I guess I was awakened by the penetrating sound of my own screaming

B B/A B/G B/F C

It didn't take me long to stumble out of bed and fall down on my knees

C C/B Am Am/G D

As tears rolled down my face I cried "Dear God I'm thankful I was only dreaming

B B/A B/G B/F C

If I never go to hell Lord it’ll be because you scared it out of me
