-------------------------------------------------------------
I just sat down with the CD and wrote it down.  I highly recommend
this CD.


Intro: D

 D                                               C
He came rolling through the hills just to be with me
            G                                D
And I was young and I was pretty and I was free.
 D                                     C
It was before the time that I knew that I
       G                                       D
could make the rainclouds form in my spirit's sky
 D                                              G
It was before the time that what I wanted had to be
 G                                     D
tied to this old world and all its slavery


CHORUS

C
And life was like a dream
G
And everything was clean
            D
And I was free.


 D                                                     C
Sometimes I wish that everything could've just ended there
         G                                              D
that my body and my soul had been just caught up in the air
 D                                            C
I'd have gone back to Him who's shining everywhere
 G                                                          D
I would've drunk in all his water, and breathed in all his air.


CHORUS


BRIDGE

  G                                 C
But I chose to eat my fruit and I chose to go my way
        G                           D
And I chose to throw my innocence away
  G                                         C
And I've learned my lessons hard and I've learned my lessons well
  G                                       D
And I have tasted all I care to taste of hell.
  G                                                      C
I think I'm ready to return, to let the fires I started burn.
  G                            D
I think I'm ready to be born again
  G                                                      C
I think I'm ready to return, to let the fires I started burn.
  G                            D
I think I'm ready to be born again (and give it one more try)

    D                                                  C
I'm gonna come rolling through the hills just to be with you.
    G                                                  D
You'll make me young and pretty again. You'll make me free.
    D                                                  C
And this time 'round, 'stead of trying to stand I've decided to lean,
    G                                           D
And let You wash me in Your blood, and make me clean.

CHORUS
 C
Oh, and living out Your dream
 G
Everything is clean
                 D
And I've become free
