So You Wanna Go Back To Egypt Chords

(ver. 1)
Keith Green
[Intro]
Dm G Bb C Dm G Eb C x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
        Dm                G
So you wanna go back to Egypt
            Bb         C
Where it's warm and secure
         Dm                   G
Are you sorry you bought the one way ticket
           Eb              C
When you thought you were sure?
               Dm                   G
You wanted to live in the land of promise
              Bb         C
But now it's getting so hard
         Dm                           G
Are you sorry you're out here in the desert
        Bm                C
Instead of your own back yard?
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 F               Fm             Bb
Eating leaks and onions by the Nile
Eb          Cm                      Ab
Ooh, what breath for dining-out in style
 Fm      F              Bb
Ooh, my life's on the skids
 G                C
Building the pyramids
 
 
[Instrumental]
Dm G Bb C Dm G Eb C
 
 
[Verse 2]
               Dm                G
Well, there's nothing to do but travel
        Bb            C
And we sure travel a lot
             Dm                G
'Cause it's hard to keep your feet from moving
          Eb          C
When the sand gets so hot
             Dm                   G
And in the morning it's manna hotcakes
     Bb                C
We snack on manna all day
        Dm                               G
And we sure had a winner last night for dinner
  Bm               C
Flaming manna souffle
 
 
[Chorus 2]
          F         Fm                         Bb
Well, we once complained for something new to munch
             Eb              Cm              Ab
The ground opened up and had some of us for lunch
 Fm        F         Bb
Ooh, such fire and smoke
 G                      C
Can't God even take a joke? Huh? (No!)
 
 
[Instrumental]
Dm G Bb C Dm G Eb C x2
 
 
[Verse 3]
        Dm                G
So you wanna to back to Egypt
             Bb              C
Where your friends wait for you
         Dm                    G
You can throw a big party and tell the whole gang
             Eb             C
Of what they said was all true
          Dm                G
And this Moses acts like a big shot
         Bb           C
Who does he think he is?
           Dm                           G
Well it's true that God works lots of miracles
           Bm                 C
But Moses thinks they're all his
 
 
[Chorus 3]
          F               Fm         Bb
Oh we're having so much trouble even now
  Eb            Cm                 Ab
Why'd he get so mad about that c-c-cow, that golden calf?
 Fm           F     Bb
Moses seems rather idle
 G                                  C
He just sits around, he just sits around and writes the Bible!
 
 
[Outro]
Dm    G   Bb                C
Oh, Moses, put down your pen
 Dm       G          Bb  C
What? Oh no, manna again?
Dm G   Bb          C
Oh,  manna waffles
Dm G  Bb          C
     Manna burgers
Dm G  Bb          C
     Manna bagels?
Dm G  Bb             C
     Fillet of manna
Dm G  Bb         C
     Manna patty?
Dm G Bb          C Dm G Bb C Dm G Eb C
   Bamanna bread
