#Passing Through (written by R. Blakeslee - ar. L. Cohen)
I saw
C
Jesus on the cross on a
F
hill called Calvary
"Do you
C
hate mankind for what they done to
G
you?"
He said,
C
"Talk of love not hate, things to
F
do - it's getting late.
I've so
C
little time and I'm
G
only passing t
C
hrough."
Chorus
C
Passing through, passing through.
Sometimes happy, sometimes
C7
blue,
glad that
F
I ran into you.
Tell the
C
people that you
G
saw me passing t
C
hrough.
I saw
C
Adam leave the Garden with an
F
apple in his hand,
I said
C
"Now you're out, what are you going to
G
do?"
"Plant some
C
crops and pray for rain, maybe
F
raise a little cane.
I'm an o
C
rphan now, and I'm
G
only passing t
C
hrough."
Chorus
I was with
C
Washington at Valley Ford,
F
shivering in the snow.
I said, "
C
How come the men here suffer like they
G
do?"
"Men will
C
suffer, men will fight, even
F
die for what is right
even t
C
hough they know they're
G
only passing t
C
hrough"
Chorus
I was with
C
Franklin Roosevelt's side on the
F
night before he died.
He said,
C
"One world must come out of World War
G
Two" (ah, the fool)
"Yankee,
C
Russian, white or tan," he said, "A
F
man is still a man.
We're all
C
on one road, and we're
G
only passing t
C
hrough."
Chorus
