Em G Am Em
I been tearing, and I been torn
Em G Am Em
The temple steps, are smooth and worn
Em C Am Em
What Judas been doin', there ain't no noise
Em G Am Em
On the olive vines, something different's growing
Chorus:
C G Em C G G/F# Em
Lazarus on down, Lazarus on down
C G Em
Come on let's push on through, nah let's go around
C G Am Em
Lazarus on down
Em G Am Em
One eyed crow, tapping on a window pane
Em G Am Em
Little boy raised a cup, in Caiaphas name
Em C Am Em
In the potter's field, blood beneath the tree
Em G Am Em
That money's gone son, what's left you owe me
Chorus:
C G Em C G G/F# Em
Lazarus on down, Lazarus on down
C G Em
Come on let's push on through, nah man let's turn around
C G
Lazarus on,
Am Em
Sound of thunder, smell of burnin' oil
Am Em
What's that movin' beneath the soil
C G Em
The streetlight's out, dark shape on the ground
C G Em C G G/F# Em
Lazarus on down, Lazarus on down
C G G/F# Am Em
Lazarus on down
Em G Am Em
Is that hope, in the shepherd's eyes
Em G Am Em
But just another, little dark surprise
Em C Am Em
I'm just like you dad, thin and cold
Em G Am Em
If you didn't know it, well know you know
