A body goes down       in the Mississippi waters
Gadd9    F#m  Emadd11   Emadd11
Weighted by a beauty, afraid
D       B
 of its light
Gadd9 F#m   Emadd11
Notify your holy   men,
   Emadd11     D        B
console   your sons and daughters
Gadd9       F#m      Emadd11     B
And tell me one more time,  what is just,
