Song: |
5 5 -4 4 5 -4
I once was a Baptist
-4 4 -3 4 -4 4
and on each Sunday morn
4 4 5 6 -6 -5
I'd be in church praying
7 7 -7 -6 6
as sure as you're born.
5 5 -4 4 5 5
We'd sing there like angels
5 5 5 -5 6 -6
in that sweet harmony
7 7 -7 -6 6 -6
But sin and salvation
5 5 -5 5 -4 4
are no longer for me.
4 4 5 6 -6 -5
Cause now I'm a Buddhist
-6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 6
I chant my mantra each day
6 -5 5 -5 6 6 -6
But I miss that hymn singing
6 6 6 -5 5 -4
in that old Gospel way.
5 5 5 -4 4 5 5
So we�ll sing to old Buddha
5 5 5 -5 6 -6
and the wonders of Zen.
7 7 -7 -6 6 -6
We'll meet in Nirvana,
6 -5 5 -4 4
yes we'll be there then.
Now my old friends don't like me
since I shaved my head
and they all talk about me
as if I were dead.
My good old Zen buddies
they think I'm ok,
But I can't get them singing
more than one note a day.
We sit here cross legged
eating brown rice and cheese
and we chant out our mantra
in four square harmony.
We don't sing of salvation
or a heavenly home.
It's Zen gospel singing,
just Om Om, sweet Om.
