(2e w/ Am  a c d)

puis embarque Am  a c d

Once I got to the mountain top, tell you what I could see
Prairie full of lost souls running from the priests of iniquity

Where the hell was Elijah
What do you do when the prophecy game was through

  Am                  Dm                         c   d c d
     (Na nananana) We gotta take the walls of Jericho
     (Na nananana) Put your lips together and blow
     (Na nananana) To the very top
     (Na nananana) Say the truth crystallizes

  C   F C Dm
              Like jewels
              In the rock, in the rock

    Am
    (Get down Moses) part another sea
    Dm/A
    Carve another tablet out of L.S.D.
    (Get down Moses) out in Tennessee   A5/E G♯/D♯ G/D F♯/C♯F/CE/B

    (Get down Moses) down in the street
    The blood washing down all the gravel to our feet
    (Get down Moses) down in the pit

(intro/2) puis rembarque

Lying in a dream, cross a battle field, crashing on a downtown strip
Looking in the eyes of the diamonds and the spies and the hip

Who's sponsoring the crack ghetto
Who's lecturing, who's in the know and in the don't know

  Pré-refrain

    (Get down Moses) eagle's aerie
    You gotta to make new friends out of old enemies
    (Get down Moses) back in Tennessee

    (Get down Moses) down with the dreads
    They got a lotta reasoning in a deadhead
    (Get down Moses) down in the street

*breakdown*

    Refrain 1

    (Get down Moses)

    (Get down Moses)

    (Get down Moses) We need to eat
    We gotta chew it over with our wisdom teeth
    (Get down Moses)
