D  Em7  D  G  Em7  A  D Em7  D G

[Chorus]
         D     Em7         D                G
Said I'm scared, Lord, I'm scared, I'm terrified
      Em7
Never been much on religion
      A                                     D Em7 D G
But I sure enough would like to hear the call
D           Em7              D                G
I'm scared, Lordy Lord, I'm shaking, I'm petrified
      Em7
Never been much on religion
      A                                     D Em7 D G
But I sure enough just fell down on my knees

[Verse 1]
D                 A
I heard the choir singing
F#m                  Bm
Something about good will toward men
         D                 A            D Em7 D G
And then their sleeping in heavenly peace
D             A
Stopped by to see Saint Thomas
F#m                 B7
On a cold and dreary New York afternoon
E7
Something in the air was oh so rare
  Em7                A7sus4
I don't know what it was but I know
                      D
That it's still right there

[Chorus]
           Em7                  D                 G
And I'm scared, Lordy Lord, I'm shaking, I'm terrified
      Em7
Never been much on religion
      A                                     D Em7 D G
But I sure enough just fell down on my knees


[Instrumental]
D  Em7  D  G  Em7  A  D Em7  D G


[Verse 2]
D             A
Living in confusion
F#m                  Bm
Searching for truth that I never found
         D            A            D Em7 D G
I needed something to really believe
D                 A
Looked toward the heavens
     F#m             B7
On a dark and stormy winter afternoon
E7
Something in the air was oh so rare
    Em7
I'm not really sure what it was
      A7sus4                              D
But I know for sure that it's still right there


[Chorus]
        D       Em7                      D            G
And I'm scared, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, I'm terrified
      Em7
Never been much on religion
      A                                   D    Em7    D   G
But I sure enough just fell down on my knees, ooooh, oooh, ooh

[Chorus]
    D           Em7
Oh, I'm scared, you know I'm shakin'
                 D                              G
I'm layin' awake thinkin' about it now, I'm terrified
      Em7
Never been much on religion
      A                                  D
But I sure enough would like to hear the call
Em7          D                     G
Come on now, give me a sign you're listening to me

[Chorus]
D                    Em7
You hear me talking, you hear me crying
     D                                G
It's confusing to me, Lord, I'm terrified
      Em7
Never been much on religion
      A                                   D   Em7   D   G
But I sure enough just fell down on my knees, oh


[Outro]
