Intro
A G
[Verse 1]
A
There was a wicked messenger
G
From Eli he did come
A
With a mind that multiplied the smallest matter
A
When questioned who had sent for him
G
He answered with his thumb
A
For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter
[Interlude]
A G A
[Verse 2]
A
He stayed behind the assembly hall
G
It was there he made his bed
A
Oftentimes he could be seen returning
A
Until one day he just appeared
G
With a note in his hand which read
A
"The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning"
[Interlude]
A G A
[Verse 3]
A
Oh, the leaves began to falling
G
And the seas began to part
A
And the people that confronted him were many
A
And he was told but these few words
G
Which opened up his heart
A
"If ye cannot bring good news, then don't bring any"
