                  "There..."

[VERSE I]
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

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

[VERSE III]
  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      |         |

[VERSE IV]
    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      |         |

[VERSE V]

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

Em                 D
 And opened up his heart
