  			Intro G 
 
G, Am, (walk up to)C, G. 
 
G                     Am  
Oh my lamb, is like a wild goose. 
C                      G 
It wanders all around, everywhere. 
G                                    Am 
It trembles and it shakes till every tree's loose. 
C                           G 
It rolls the meadows and it rolls and then. 
 

G                    Am 
Take me down to your dance floor. 
C                      G 
I wont mind the people when they stare. 
G                               Am 
Paint a different color on your front door. 
C                    G       
And tomorrow, we may still be there. 
 
G                             Am 
Jesus built a ship, to sing a song too. 
C                          G 
It sails the rivers and it sails the tides. 
G                                     Am 
Some of my friends dont know who they belong to. 
C                               G 
Some cant get a single thing to work inside. 
 
Chorus 
G                       Am 
So take me down to your dance floor. 
C                       G    
I won't mind the people when they stare. 
G                                Am 
Paint a different color, on your front door. 
C                    G 
And tomorrow, we may still be there. 
 
Break 
 
G                        Am 
I've loved you every day now im leaving. 
C                    G 
I can see the sorrow in your eyes. 
G                                      Am 
I hope you know a lot more than you're believing. 
C                              G 
Just so the sun dont hurt you, when you cry. 
 
Chorus 
G                    Am 
Take me down to your dance floor. 
C                      G 
I wont mind the people when they stare. 
G                                Am 
Paint a different color, on your front door. 
C                    G 
And tomorrow, we may still be there. 
C                    G 
And tomorrow, we may still be there.
