The Wilderness

INTRO:  C  D  C  D

Am
Everybody drinks the water
                D
From the murky pool
 Am 
Surely as you think you're well
                    D
You know your belly aches
Am 
Everybody learns religion
                      D
At the blind man's school
 Am 
Will you reach for heaven when the
                      D
Preacher charms the snake

F                 G
Is your faith so right?  Are you so blessed
Am                        D
Everybody wanders in the forest
F                  G
Is your heart so true

Am
Count the butts and bottles
                          D
In the morning when we're gone
Am                                         D
Fools agree reality is more than we should bear
Am                                        D
How do you gaze into the sun from dusk to dawn
Am                                           D
We love the truth enough to die but we won't swear

F                 G
Is your faith so right?  Are you so blessed
Am                        D
Everybody wanders in the forest
F                  G
Is your heart so true,  Are you so good?
Am                        D
Everybody wanders in the woods

Am                                         D
Everybody begs the juror be more than merciful
Am                                         D
For the crimes we celebrate for bigotry we learn
Am                                         D
Everybody drinks the water from the murky pool
Am                                         D
Surely as it heals your soul you feel your body burn

F                 G
Is your faith so right?  Are you so blessed
Am                        D
Everybody wanders in the forest
F                  G
Is your heart so true,  Are you that good?
Am                        D
Everybody wanders in the woods
Am                        D
Everybody wanders in the forest
Am                        D
Everybody wanders in the wilderness
