[Verse 1]
Am G CBring me a glass of water
Am G CTo wash the dirt from my throat
Am G CI've been wandering my whole life out there
Am G CHelp me out of my coat
Am G CThis water's as clear as crystal
Am G CWe should thank the Lord for that
Am G CSit you down and hear my story
Am G FFind somewhere for my hat
Am G CA barkeep takes a stranger's hat
Am G CAnd finds a vacant hook
Am G CTurns back towards the traveller
FHis right hand on an old black book
[Chorus]
Am G DmThe holy Book of Numbers
Dm G AmI take it's something that you've read?
Am G DmThe long search in the wilderness
Dm G FFor a place to lay my head
[Verse 2]
Am G CSo many parables in the scriptures
Am G CBut this one I'm doomed to tell
Am G CFor I stormed the gates of Heaven
Am G CTo find myself in Hell
Am G CThis is my lonely mission
Am G CTo wake the world up to its fate
Am G CTo dismantle my own invention
Am G F DmFor the hour is getting late
[Chorus]
Am G DmThis holy Book of Numbers
Dm G AmAs we walk through the shadow of death
Am G DmTell me, are you listening, boy
Dm G AmOr Am I just wasting my breath?
Am G CThere are fools in the courts of power
Dm G AmWhile I've walked through this vale of bitter tears
Am G CAt the mercy of recording angels
Dm G FFor three score and twenty-five years
[Outro]
Am G CThe barkeep gets up from the table
Am G CTo fill up another glass
Am G CHe turns around to find an empty chair
Am G CAll that's left is the name in his hat
