(C Cmaj7 F C)
C
Down by the bayou,
Cmaj7
Down by the bayou, I saw
Good things inside you
F
Good things inside you, they call
C
Into my memories of old,
G7
Tell me what you know!
C
I saw a man there,
Cmaj7
I saw a man and sat down
I shook his hand there
F
I shook his hand, he laughed loud
C
And put a question to my heart
G7
A question, oh, so sharp
[Chorus]
(F Am C G)
F Am
He said, 'hey, wish man, tell me what's your wish,
C G7
Close your eyes all we got is this!
F Am
Angels speak of a thing called bliss
C G7
Close your eyes all we got is this, yeah!
(same thing for other verses and choruses)
[Bridge]
Am E C
If I'm straying far away, I get down and start to pray
Am Em C
Cause I know, I know
Am E C
That my song will reach those heavens I stand up I'm not forgetting
Am Em C
I know, I know, I know!
