All-American Prophet Chords

(ver. 1)
The Book Of Mormon
Tuning: Standard

Capo on 1st fret

In these parts without chords they're singing acapella, play along the song and 

you'll figure it out :)

G
You all know the Bible
           C                  G
Is made of Testaments old and new
G                 
You been told it's just those two parts
        A               D
Or only one if you're a Jew

    G
But what if I were to tell you
          C                    G
There's a fresh third part out there
          G
Which was found by a hip new prophet
                 D
Who had a little Donny Osmond flair?

         G            C            G
Have you heard of the All-American Prophet?
G                  C                  D
The blonde-haired, blue-eyed voice of God
D  D  C#  C                    Am
He didn't come from the Middle East
F                     D
Like those other holy men
    C              F           Bbsus2            Bbsus2 Bsus2 Csus2    F F# G
No, God's favorite prophet was All-American

                                                  F F# G
I'm gonna take you back to Biblical times, 1823
An American man named Joe living on a farm
In the holy land of Rochester, New York

You mean the Mormon Prophet Joseph Smith?
That's right, that young man spoke to God
He spoke to God, and God said
"Joe, people really need to know that the Bible
Isn't two parts, there's a part three to the Bible, Joe
And I, God, have anointed you to dig up this part three
That is buried by a tree on a hill in your backyard"

Wow, God says go to your backyard and start digging?
That makes perfect sense

G            
Joseph Smith went up on that hill
    C                G
And dug where he was told
G       
And deep in the ground
             A                 D
Joseph found shining plates of gold

G
"What are these Golden Plates?
    C                    G
Who buried them here and why?"
G
Then appeared an Angel
    F        F#  G
His name was Moroni "I am Moroni"

                 G
The All-American Angel
   G                 C          D
My people lived here long, long ago
D    D C# C             Am
This is a history of my race
       F              D
Please read the words within
        C                 F
We were Jews who met with Christ
            Bbsus2             Bbsus2 Bsus2 Csus2
But we were All-American

                                                  Csus2
But don't let anybody see these plates except for you
                         Bbsus2
They are only for you to see
                                   Am
Even if people ask you to show the Plates to them, don't
     Am
Just copy them onto normal paper
     Am
Even though this might make them question
                  G#
If the Plates are real or not
                            Csus2         F F# G
This is sort of what God is going for

G
Joseph took the Plates home
          C                    G
And wrote down what he found inside
G           
He turned those Plates into a book
        A                    D
Then he rushed into town and cried

          G
"Hey, God spoke to me and gave me
     C               G
This blessed ancient tome
   G
He hath commanded me to publish it
                               Bbsus2 Bsus2 Csus2
And stick it in every home"

Wow, so the Bible is actually a trilogy
And The Book of Mormon is Return of the Jedi?
                  F F# G
I'm interested

Now many people didn't believe the Prophet Joseph Smith
They thought he'd made up this part three
That was buried by a tree on the hill in his backyard

                          G
"Liar" But Joe said "This is no lie
G
Speak to God all the time
       C               G
And he told me to head West"

         G
"So I'll take my part three from the hill with the tree
F#   G
Feel free if you'd like to come along with me
F# G
To the Promised Land"
"The Promised Land?"
"Paradise on the West Coast
                                                   G
Nothing but fruit and fields as far as the eye can see"

         G            C            G
Have you heard of the All-American Prophet?
G                    C                D
He found a brand new book about Jesus Christ
D  C#  C                Am
We are following him to Paradise
   F                 D
We call ourselves Mormon
    C         F         Bbsus2    E
And our new religion is All-American


Wow, how much does it cost?
    E
The Mormons kept on searching for
     Am
That place to settle down
          F
And every time they thought they'd found it
     Bbm
They got kicked out of town
    F#
And even though people wanted
   Bm
To see the Golden Plates
G            C
Joseph never showed 'em
I have maggots in my scrotum

Umm okay, well, anyway
Em
Now comes the part of our story
     C                G
That get a little bit sad
Em
On the way to the Promised Land
F                   D
Mormons made people mad

C                     Am
Joseph was shot by an angry mob
    F                 D
And knew he'd soon be done
C                  Am     G
"You must lead the people now
   Bbsus2               F
My good friend, Brigham Young"

F                               Csus2
"Oh God, why are you letting me die
                                  Bsus2
Without having me show people the Plates
                                        Am
They'll have no proof I was telling the truth or not
                                G#
They'll have to believe it just 'cause
                                       Csus2
Oh, I guess that's kinda what you were going for"

A                                      Dsus2             
The Prophet Joseph Smith died for what he believed in
A                 A
But as followers, they kept heading West
F#m                        Bsus2
And Brigham Young led them to Paradise
  E                               A D A
A sparkling land in Utah they called Salt Lake City

           F#m              A
And there, the Mormons multiplied
             C#m
And made big Mormon families
F#m              
Generation to generation
Bsus2               E
Until finally, they made me
    A               Dsus2   A
And now it's my job to lead you
      Bm                            G
Where those early settlers were led long ago
 
         Bb           Eb           Bb
Have you heard of the All-American Prophet?
(Kevin Price)
    Bb              Eb              F
The next in line to be the voice of God
(My best friend)
F    E     Eb           Cm
He's gonna do something incredible
       Ab           F
And be Joseph Smith again
        Eb              Ab         Db            Dbsus2 Dsus2 Ebsus2   Ab A
Because Kevin Price the Prophet is All-American

If you order now
We'll also throw in a set of steak knives
                Eb
All-American
