D
John saw that number
D
Way in the middle of the air
D
Cryin' holy, holy to the Lord
D
Old John the baptist, old John divine
D
Frogs and snakes are gonna get John this time
                                 Bm
God told the angel "go see about John"


[Chorus]
      D
So he flew from the pit with the moon round his waist
D
Gathered wind in his fists so the stars round his wrists
       G     A           D
Cryin' holy, holy to the lord


[Verse]
D
Read the revelations, you'll find him there
D
Third chapter, fourth verse where he said unto me
D
"There's a beast that rose out of the sea"
D
Ten crowns, ten crowns
D
On his horns write "blasphemy"


[Chorus]
Bm
John couldn't read it (John couldn't read it)
D                 Bm
Get on repeat it, John couldn't read it
G      A          D
Holy, holy to the Lord


[Verse]
D
There was a man, a pharisee
D
Who came by night to meet him
D
Said "I know thy teacher came from God cause no man can do such miracles
D                             G          D
Without the lord (without the lord) to entreat him"
                                 Bm
God told the angel "go see about John"


[Chorus]
      D
So he flew from the pit with the moon round his waist
D
Gathered wind in his fists and the stars round his wrists
       G      A          D
Cryin' holy, holy to the Lord x3
