Chop Wood And Carry Water
G
One night I had a dream,
That I climbed up to the mountaintop,
F C
That reaches all the way,
D
To heaven above
G
And I had a conversation,
GMaj7 Em
With old man in a white robe,
A7
I asked a simple question,
C D
How do I show love?
G
And I asked him what to do,
When I climbed down off of that mountaintop,
F C
That reaches all the way,
D
To heaven above
G
His answer was so simple,
GMaj7 Em
That it took me by suprise,
A7
He said wayfarin' pilgrim,
C D
If you want to show love
G
Chop wood,
(Chop wood)
C
And carry water,
(Just a little water)
G C
Build a fire and give a drink to all of God's sons and daughters,

If you wanna save a strugglin' soul from stumblin' to the slaughter,

But I did not like the answer,

Cos I wanted to do it bigger,

One night I saw a beggar man on the streets of New Orleans,
G D E
And I swear I heard a voice that came from heaven above,
A
It said this is one of my children,
F#m
And my child is cold and hungry,
B7 D E
Now this is your big chance if you want to show love,
A
So I wrapped my arms around him,
And he turned his face up to me,
G D E
And I swear it was the old man from heaven above,
A
He said wayfarin' pilgrim,
F#m
You know I've been lookin for you,
B7 D E
You finally got it figured out just how to show love
