D                 A             Bm
The Prodigal Son, he'd been away a while
        G                    A
he was working his way back home now
      D         
over many a ragged mile
         G                    Em
When he finally crossed the river
         D     F#m      Bm
and his father saw him near
             D           A                        D
there was a joyful sound, for all the world to hear

   D                    A        
I listened to what the Good Book said 
        G                  Bm
and it made good sense to me
               D                     F#m
talkin' about reapin' what you're sowin'
         G            A
people trying to be free.
           Bm                G    F#          Bm     
Now we've got new names and faces,  this time around
 G       D           A                D
Gospel changes, Lord, Still goin' down.

 D         A                     Bm
Jesus, He did not doubt His gifts
            G           A               D
though He knew that He had not long to live
    G                Em
He took care of the bus'ness
    D          F#m      Bm
of teaching us how to fly
         D            A                    D
then He bowed His head and laid down to die

   D                    A        
I listened to what the Good Book said 
        G                  Bm
and it made good sense to me
               D                     F#m

   D         A                Bm
Jerusalem I see you standing high
            G            A
but if you lose your salvation
             D
there'll be no tears left to cry
     G                  Em  
Now some men worship a Golden Calf
      D           F#m        Bm
while others are bought and sold
           D            A                     D
and if we live like that brother we pay the toll

   D                    A        
I listened to what the Good Book said 
        G                  Bm

Gospel changes, Lord, Still goin' down, 
             G   D  G  
Still Goin' Down
         D           A               D
Gospel changes, Lord, Still goin' down.
