Tom: D
D A G D A
[Verse]
D
Me and Virgil best of friend
A
brothers 'til the very end
G
made a pact one sunny afternoon
D A
down by cold pepper creek
D
Fishing holes, skippin' rocks
A
down the railroad tracks we'd talk
G
about girls and cars and hopes and dreams
D A
the way our lives would be
[Chorus]
Bm A G
and we swore we'd never change
Bm A G
and it would always be the same.
[Verse]
D
Virgil met the Holy Ghost
A
a little younger than most
G
at the gilappi pentacostal
D A
tent revival halter call
D
Everyone in town was there that day
A
Virgil gave his soul away
G
they were praising as I waited
D A
outside the gospel hall
[Chorus]
Bm A G
And we swore we'd never change
Bm A G
but it would never be the same
[Verse]
D
Cause it was later on that year
A
the winter that our mama died
Bm
when I told Virgil I don't wanna hear
G
about love and peace inside
D
cause if this God you know is good
A
how can he allow the pain
Bm
life's been hard enough
G D A Bm G D A Bm G
so why would I want to be born again
[Verse]
D
The other night me and Virgil spoke
A
he travels with the Holy Ghost
G
holding tent revivals
D A
he's out to seek and save
D
Virgil says he's been set free
A
by Jesus dying on the tree
G
but I'm not sure what I believe
D A
my questions still remain
[Bridge]
Bm A G
Virgil says that when he prays
Bm A G
he asks the Lord that I'd be saved
Bm A G
I guess some things never change
