Wicked Messenger chords

G    F

      G
There was a wicked messenger
                F
From Eli he did come
       G
With a mind that multiplied the smallest matter
     G
When questioned who had sent for him
                     F
He answered with his thumb
        G
For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter

G    F  G

   G
He stayed behind the assembly hall
                         F
It was there he made his bed
     G
Oftentimes he could be seen returning
  G
Until one day he just appeared
                              F
With a note in his hand which read
     G
"The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning"

G     F  G

        G
Oh, the leaves began to falling
                      F
And the seas began to part
        G
And the people that confronted him were many
    G
And he was told but these few words
                    F
Which opened up his heart
       G
"If ye cannot bring good news, then don't bring any"

G    F  G
