D     Em    /      /     / 
There was a wicked messenger 
     /   /      D / / / 
From Eli he did come 
       Em        /    / 
With a mind that multiplied 
    /        E    / / / 
The smallest matter 

D    Em         /       /        / 
When questioned who had sent for him 
   /        /        D   / / / 
He answered with his thumb 
        Em        /         / 
For his tongue it could not speak 
    /    E 
But only flatter

   Em 
He stayed behind the assembly hall 
                              D 
It was there that he made his bed 
Em 
Often times he could be seen returning 

Em          | D       |

  Em 
Until one day he just appeared 
                              D 
With a note in his hand which read 
    Em                                E 
The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning 

Em          | D       | 
/ / / / / / | / / / / | 
              Woo-hoo 

Em      |         | 
/ / / / | / / / / | 


 
    Em 
The leaves began to fallin' 
                      D 
And the seas began to part 
        Em                              E 
And the people that confronted him were many 

Em          | D       | 
/ / / / / / | / / / / | 
       Oh-oh, oh 

Em      |         |

    Em 
The leaves began to fallin' 
                      D 
And the seas began to part 
        Em                              E 
And the people that confronted him were many 
    Em 
And he was told these last few words 
                    D 
Which opened up his heart 
   Em                                             E 
If ye cannot bring good news, then don't bring any
