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