Before I walk on the water
FA#m SOL#m LA
Put the money down, down, down

There are bands killing chickens
FA#m SOL#m LA
My heros getting pushed around, 'round, 'round
SOL RE(F#) MI
I don't know if I trust you

As you try to shoot me down

BRIDGE:
'Twas a beautiful day in Columbus when the fences fell
DO SOL
But the five loaves and fishes ain't gonna be much help

Before he walks the water, he wants his bread.

D E / A / | E / A / | E / A / | E / A / || ["In a tin cup"]
REPEAT UNTIL FADE
* These 'D(A)' chords are best played like an 'appended' A chord.
For instance, first finger barring the B, G & D strings (2nd fret),
with second finger on B string (3rd fret), and 3rd finger on
D string (4th fret).
It's also worth noting with this song that there are a lot of
minor 7ths implied by the piano and guitars. (For instance,
D notes against E chords; G notes against A chords). This
is better 'felt' and improvised than written down.
