Depeche Mode – John the Revelator

G#m                        Hm       C#m
John the Revelator put him in an elevator
Take him up to the highest high
Take him up to the top where the mountains stop
Let him tell his book of lies

G#m              E        D# 
John the Revelator he’s a smooth operator
It’s time we cut him down to size
Take him by the hand and put him on the stand
Let us hear his alibis

By claiming God as his only right
He's stealing a god from the Israelites
Stealing a god from a Muslim, too
There is only one god through and through
       
Seven lies, multiplied by seven, 
multiplied by seven again
Seven angels with seven trumpets
Send them home on the morning train
Well who’s that shouting?  John the Revelator!
All he ever gives us is pain
Well who’s that shouting?  John the Revelator!
He should bow his head in shame

G#m      E D#
