The [D] Prodigal Son, he'd [A] been away a [Bm] while
He was [G] working his way back [A] home now over [D] many a ragged
mile
When he [G] finally crossed the [Em] river
And his [D] father [F#m] saw him [Bm] near [G]
There was a [D] joyful sound [A] for all the world to [D] hear
I listened to what the [A] Good Book said,
And it [G] made good sense to [Bm] me
Talkin' 'bout [D] reapin' what you're [F#m] sowin'
People [G] tryin' to be [A] free
Now we've [Bm] got new names and [G] faces,
[F#] This time A [Bm] round,
[G] Gospel [D] Changes, Lord, [A] still goin' [D] down
[D] Jesus, He [A] did not doubt His [Bm] gifts
Though He [G] knew that He [A] had not long to [D] live
He [G] took care of the [Em] business
Of [D] teachin' us [F#m] how to [Bm] fly [G]
Then He [D] bowed his head [A] and laid down to [D] die
I listened to what the [A] Good Book said,
And it [G] made good sense to [Bm] me
Talkin' 'bout [D] reapin' what you're [F#m] sowin'
People [G] tryin' to be [A] free
Now we've [Bm] got new names and [G] faces,
[F#] This time A [Bm] round,
[G] Gospel [D] Changes, Lord, [A] still goin' [D] down
[D] Jerusalem, I [A] see you standing [Bm] high
But if you [G] lose your sal [A] vation there'll be
[D] no tears left to cry
Now [G] some men worship a [Em] Golden Calf
While [D] others are [F#m] bought and [Bm] sold [G]
And if we [D] live like that [A] brother we pay the [D] toll
I listened to what the [A] Good Book said,
And it [G] made good sense to [Bm] me
Talkin' 'bout [D] reapin' what you're [F#m] sowin'
People [G] tryin' to be [A] free
Now we've [Bm] got new names and [G] faces,
[F#] This time A [Bm] round,
[G] Gospel [D] Changes, Lord, [A] still goin' [D] down (2x)
Still goin', [G] down, yeah, yeah, [D] yeah, still goin' [G] down
[G] Gospel [D] Changes, Lord, [A] still goin' [D] down
