D  C  

[Verse 1]
D  C                             D  C
     A man lay dying in the streets
D  C                             D  C
     A thousand people fell down on their knees
     G
     Any other day he would have been
D  C                        D  C
     Preaching
D  C                        D  C
     Reaching all the people there
D  C                        D  C
     Oh Lord Lord

[Chorus]
         G      D       G                  D
     But Lord knows I can't change what I saw
      G                 D  C                        D  C
     I Say God Rest His Soul

[Verse 2]
D  C                        D  C
     The Memphis battleground was red
D  C                        D  C
     Cause blood came pouring from his head
     G
     Women and children fallin' down
D  C                        D  C
     Crying
D  C                        D  C
     For the man they loved so well
D  C                        D  C
     Oh Lord, Lord

[Chorus]
         G     D      G                   D
     But Lord knows I can't change what I saw
       G                   D  C                        D  C
     I say God rest his soul

     I say God rest his soul

[Verse 3]
D  C                        D  C
     The morning sun will rise again
D  C                        D  C
     With all the passions growing thin
     G
     What we gonna do when war is come and we're
D  C                        D  C
     Dying
D  C                        D  C
     Dying for the cause unknown

[Chorus]
                  G       D       G                  D
