Capo 1

Verse: (C Cmaj7 F C) 

C         
Down by the bayou, 
                    Cmaj7 
Down by the bayou, I saw 

Good things inside you 
                 F 
Good things inside you, they call 
                  C 
Into my memories of old, 
                         G7 
Tell me what you know! 

   C 
I saw a man there, 
                 Cmaj7 
I saw a man and sat down 

I shook his hand there 
               F 
I shook his hand, he laughed loud 
                  C 
And put a question to my heart 
                          G7 
A question, oh, so sharp 

Chorus: (F Am, C G) 

        F                        Am 
He said, 'hey, wish man, tell me what's your wish, 
C                       G7 
Close your eyes all we got is this! 
F                   Am 
Angels speak of a thing called bliss 
C                       G7 
Close your eyes all we got is this, yeah! 

(same thing for other verses and Choruses) 

Bridge: 
Am              E                C 
If I'm straying far away, I get down and start to pray 
Am    Em    C 
Cause I know, I know 
Am                           E               C 
That my song will reach those heavens I stand up I'm not forgetting 
Am     Em     C 
I know, I know, I know!
