Passing through, passing through.

                           C7
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue,

            F        D
Glad that I ran into you.

         C                   G             C
Tell the people that you saw me passing through.

I saw Jesus on the cross

      F             C
On a hill called Calvary


I said "do you hate mankind

                         D     G
For what they’ve done to you?"

          C                C7
He said, "Talk of love not hate,

                  F                   D
There’s things to do and it's getting late.

          C                    G                C
We’re all brothers and we are only passing through.

And I shivered with George Washington

          F                    C
One cold night down in Valley Forge,
                                                                                         
          I said, "George, how come these soldiers fight so,

              D    G
They way they do?"

          C                    C7
He said, "Men will suffer, and fight,

               F                           D
Some will even die for what they think is right

      F                       G            C
Even though they know they're only passing through"


  C
Passing through, passing through.

                           C7
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue,

            F        D
Glad that I ran into you.

         C                   G             C
Tell the people that you saw me passing through.

So, if you see me passin’ you by

        F                    C
And you stop there wondering why

                                       D    G
And you wish you could do some touring too

           C                          C7
Grab your suitcase and stick out your thumb

           F                     D
Thank your folks for all they’ve done

          C
You got a whole lot of adventure

 G                       C
Ahead of you, passin’ through
