Passing Through

	  		   C 
Passing through, passing through. 

                           C7 
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue, 

            F        D 
Glad that I ran into you. 

         C                   G             C 
Tell the people that you saw me passing through.

I saw Jesus on the cross 

      F             C 
On a hill called Calvary 


I said "do you hate mankind 

                         D     G 
For what they’ve done to you?" 

          C                C7 
He said, "Talk of love not hate, 

                  F                   D 
There’s things to do and it's getting late. 

          C                    G                C 
We’re all brothers and we are only passing through.

And I shivered with George Washington 

          F                    C 
One cold night down in Valley Forge, 
                                                                                          
          I said, "George, how come these soldiers fight so, 

              D    G 
They way they do?" 

          C                    C7 
He said, "Men will suffer, and fight, 

               F                           D 
Some will even die for what they think is right 

      F                       G            C 
Even though they know they're only passing through" 


  C 
Passing through, passing through. 

                           C7 
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue, 

            F        D 
Glad that I ran into you. 

         C                   G             C 
Tell the people that you saw me passing through.

So, if you see me passin’ you by 

        F                    C 
And you stop there wondering why 

                                       D    G 
And you wish you could do some touring too 

           C                          C7 
Grab your suitcase and stick out your thumb 

           F                     D 
Thank your folks for all they’ve done 

          C 
You got a whole lot of adventure 

 G                       C 
Ahead of you, passin’ through
