Neko Case on John the Baptist

"John Saw That Number"

(no chords)
Old John the baptist, old John divine
Leather harness round his line
His meat was locust and honey
Wild honey lord, wild honey

D
John saw that number
Way in the middle of the air
Cryin' holy, holy to the Lord

D
Old John the baptist, old John divine
Frogs and snakes are gonna get John this time
                                 Bm
God told the angel "go see about John"
D
So he flew from the pit with the moon round his waist
Gathered wind in his fists so the stars round his wrists
       G     A           D
Cryin' holy, holy to the lord

D
Read the revelations, you'll find him there
Third chapter, fourth verse where he said unto me
"There's a beast that rose out of the sea"
Ten crowns, ten crowns
On his horns write "blasphemy"
Bm
John couldn't read it (John couldn't read it)
D
Get on repeat it
Bm
John couldn't read it
G     A           D
Holy, holy to the Lord

(two, three, four, one...)

D
There was a man, a pharisee
Who came by night to meet him
Said "I know thy teacher came from God cause no man can do such miracles
                              G          D
Without the lord (without the lord) to entreat him"
                                 Bm
God told the angel "go see about John"
      D
So he flew from the pit with the moon round his waist
Gathered wind in his fists and the stars round his wrists
       G     A           D
Cryin' holy, holy to the Lord
G     A           D
Holy, holy to the Lord
G     A           D
Holy, holy to the Lord...
