Intro D A G D A

D 
Me and Virgil best of friend
A
brothers 'til the very end
        G
made a pact one sunny afternoon
     D               A
down by cold pepper creek

D
Fishing holes, skippin' rocks
A
down the railroad tracks we'd talk
       G
about girls and cars and hopes and dreams
    D                   A
the way our lives would be
        
        Bm          A    G
and we swore we'd never change
              Bm     A      G
and it would always be the same.

D
Virgil met the Holy Ghost
  A
a little younger than most
       G
at the gilappi pentacostal
     D              A
tent revival halter call

 D
Everyone in town was there that day
 A
Virgil gave his soul away
         G
they were praising as I waited
  D                A
outside the gospel hall

       Bm          A      G
And we swore we'd never change
              Bm    A     G
but it would never be the same

              D
Cause it was later on that year
           A
the winter that our mama died
            Bm
when I told Virgil I don't wanna hear
     G
about love and peace inside
              D
cause if this God you know is good
        A
how can he allow the pain
            Bm
life's been hard enough
                    G              D A Bm G D A Bm G
so why would I want to be born again 

           D
The other night me and Virgil spoke
    A
he travels with the Holy Ghost
 G
holding tent revivals
     D                A
he's out to seek and save

D
Virgil says he's been set free
    A
by Jesus dying on the tree
    G
but I'm not sure what I believe
   D               A
my questions still remain

       Bm         A       G
Virgil says that when he prays
            Bm         A      G
he asks the Lord that I'd be saved
        Bm            A    G
I guess some things never change
