verse 1 
B                     C#m 
Oh, my land is like a wild goose 
E                   B E F# E 
Wanders all around, everywhere 
B                                   C#m 
Trembles and it shakes 'til every tree is loose 
E                              B    E     F#  E 
It rolls the meadows, and it rolls the nails 
 
 
B                       C#m 
So, take me down to your dance floor 
E                          B  E    F#  E 
I won't mind the people when they stare 
B                                C#m 
Paint a different color on your front door 
E                     B     E   F#  E 
And tomorrow, we will still be there 
 
verse 2 
B                             C#m 
Jesus built a ship to sing a song to 
E                             B        E   F# E 
It sails the river, and it sails the tide 
B                                         C#m 
Some of my friends don't know who they belong to 
E                                  B    E  F# E 
Some can't get a single thing to work inside 
 
 
B                       C#m 
So, take me down to your dance floor 
E                              B       E    F# E 
And I won't mind the people when they stare 
B                                 C#m 
Paint a different color on your front door 
E                        B     E   F#  E 
And tomorrow, we will still be there 
 
B C#m E  B E F# E (x2) 
 
verse 3 
B                                    C#m 
I've loved you every day, and now I'm leaving 
E                         B E     F# E 
And I can see the sorrow in your eyes 
B                                   C#m 
I hope you know a lot more than you're believing 
E                               B    E  F# E 
Just so the sun don´t hurt you when you cry 
 
 
B                        C#m 
Oh, take me down to your dance floor 
E                         B     E     F# E 
I won´t mind the people when they stare 
B                                  C#m 
Paint a different color on your front door 
E                      B   E  F# E 
And tomorrow, we may still be there 
C#m                    B   E   F# E  B 
And tomorrow, we may still be there
