A5  C/G  Em  C/G

C/G               G                  D                     C/G
Now I'm bound for Nazareth town with all the mistakes I've made
    C/G                   G                  D                   A5
Well God is good and it's understood, but he moves in mysterious ways
C/G               G            D               C/G
He saw it all, my folderol, my rough and rowdy friends
        C/G                        G                D                A5
in fact I was getting wrecked in a Motel 6, when he showed up in the back

C/G               G             D                C/G
So goodbye sweet Genevieve and goodbye my Tulsa friends
    C/G                   G                D                   A5
But hey everybody did you hear the news, Jesus shot me in the head
C/G                G                D           C/G
Just as well I was going to hell, I wasted everything
C/G                       G                      D               A5
no more shooting pool, no getting drunk, now I'm gone to see the king

Chorus:
G             D                               C/G
So I'm on the road again, yes I'm on the road again
G       D                 A5      Em         C/G       F/C     G
No more rolling down that wicked track, I'm gone to see the king
G             D                             C/G
But oh lord I need a hand, oh lord I need a hand
G        D              A5     Em     C/G   F/C     G
Don't be late at those pearly gates, come on let me in

C/G                     G               D                 C/G
I spent some time in Jerusalem where I tried my best to behave
    C/G                      G                    D                 A5
and I told the town how they cut Him down and He rose up from the grave
C/G                    G                      D                  C/G
Would you believe they laughed at me, no they would not leave me be
C/G                      G                     D          A5
Next thing I know I was skipping stones on the Sea of Galilee


-Chorus-
G             D                               C/G
So I'm on the road again, yes I'm on the road again
G       D                 A5      Em         C/G       F/C     G
No more rolling down that wicked track, I'm gone to see the king
G             D                             C/G
But oh lord I need a hand, oh lord I need a hand
G        D              A5     Em     C/G   F/C     G
Don't be late at those pearly gates, come on let me in

C/G                          G             D             C/G
The time will come when the chosen one He calls on us in thanks
    C/G                   G                  D                    A5
He loves us all but the ones who fall hold a special place in his ranks
C/G                      G                      D                 C/G
At least I hope this is how it goes, since I'm just about out of breath
   C/G                   G                D                   A5
So hey everybody did you hear the news, Jesus shot me in the head


-Chorus- 2x
G             D                               C/G
So I'm on the road again, yes I'm on the road again
G       D                 A5      Em         C/G       F/C     G
No more rolling down that wicked track, I'm gone to see the king
G             D                             C/G
But oh lord I need a hand, oh lord I need a hand
G        D              A5     Em     C/G   F/C     G
Don't be late at those pearly gates, come on let me in
