CAPO 6th FRET
(Original Key: F#)
Intro:
C Am, Dm G7
Verse 1:
They say that heaven is;
10 zillion light years away,
And just the pure at heart,
Will walk her, righteous streets, someday.
They say that heaven is;
10 zillion light years away,
But if there is a God;
We need Him now; “Where is your God?”
That’s what my friends ask me.[Ab+]
And I say it’s taken him so long,
‘Cos we’ve [F/G]got so far to come.
Tell me people;
Verse 2:
Why can’t they say that hate is;
10 zillion light years away?
Why can’t the light of good,
Shine God’s love in every soul?
Why must my colour black;
Make me a lesser man?
I thought this world was made,
For every man, he loves us all;
That’s what my God tells [Ab+]me.
And I say it’s taken him so long,
‘Cos we’ve [F/G]got so far to come.
Chorus 1:
But in my heart I can feel it,
Feel his spirit, woah oh woah oh,
Feel it, yeah, feel his spirit.

Verse 3:
I…can’t say that heaven is,
10 zillion light years away,
But if so let all be pure at heart,
Just to walk her righteous streets, I pray.
Let God’s love shine within’,
To save our evil souls;
For those who don’t believe,
Will never see the light,
“Where is my God?”
He lives, in-side of [Bb+]me.
And I say it’s taken him so long,
‘Cos we’ve got so far to come.
Now people;
“Where is your God?”
Inside please let [Bb+]him be.
And I say it’s taken him so long,
‘Cos we’ve got so far to come.
But if you open your heart;
Chorus 2:
You can feel it,
Feel His spirit, yeah.
Feel it,
Feel his spirit, woah oh woah oh,
Feel it,
You can feel His spirit.
I opened my heart one morning,
And I sho ’nuff could;
Feel it yeah yeah,
Feel His spirit,
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You can feel it, yeah,
Feel His spirit.
You can feel it, yeah,
Feel His spirit.
