Lyrics

[Intro]
| C | - |

[Verse 1]
Am       E    Am       E      Am
  Holy Moses, I have been removed
C                  G
I have seen the spectre,
C                   G
he has been here too
C                        G
 Distant cousin from down the line
F                      Dm
 Brand of people who ain't my kind
F D/F# C      G                  C
Holy   Moses, I have been removed

[Verse 2]
Am       E    Am         E        Am
  Holy Moses, I have been deceived
C                       G
Now the wind has changed direction,
C                     G
and I'll have to leave
C                       G
 Won't you please excuse my frankness
         F               Dm
But it's not my cup of tea 
F D/F# C      G
Holy   Moses, I have been deceived

[Bridge]
C          C           C7           F
 I'm going back to the border where my affairs
G                      C
My affairs ain't abused
        C7           F
I can't take any more bad water
     D                                   G7
Been poisoned from my head down to my shoes,
  C
oh

[Break]
Am E Am E Am C G C G
C G F Dm
F D/F# C      G                   C
Holy   Moses, I have been deceived

[Verse 3]
Am       E    Am         E        Am
  Holy Moses, let us live in peace
C                 G             C                    G
 Let us strive to find a way to make all hatred cease
C               G
 There's a man over there,
F                  Dm
 what's his color? I don't care
F    D/F# C        G
He's my   brother, let us live in peace,
C C7 F    D/F# C        G
     He's my   brother, let us live in peace,
C C7 F    D/F# C        G
     He's my   brother, let us,
                    C
let us live in peace
