[Verse 1]
D#
There was a wicked messenger
C#
From Eli he did come
D#
With a mind that multiplied the smallest matter
D#
When questioned who had sent for him
C#
He answered with his thumb
D#
For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
D#
He stayed behind the assembly hall
C#
It was there he made his bed
D#
Oftentimes he could be seen returning
D#
Until one day he just appeared
C#
With a note in his hand which read
D#
"The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning"
[Interlude]
D# C# D#
[Verse 3]
D#
Oh, the leaves began to falling
C#
And the seas began to part
D#
And the people that confronted him were many
D#
And he was told but these few words
C#
Which opened up his heart
D#
"If ye cannot bring good news, then don't bring any"
[Outro]
