Lear Jets
Words by Barry McGuire and Music by Barry McGuire and Jim Patton
on Seeds by Barry McGuire
Copyright 1973
G Bb F C G
You got your lear jets and your limousines and still you're wondering why
Bb F C G
You can't lose that lonely feeling no matter what you try
Bb F G
Yes, your three-day parties twice a week with all the old friends you know
Bb F C G
Champagne breakfasts, country clubs, with scotch to bring you home
(Chorus)
Bb F C G
After all the laughter and the music fades away
Bb F C G
You find yourself a lonely child lost along the way
G Bb F C G
Well you turned your back so long ago on Jesus and his dad
Bb F C G
And cast your pearls before the swine, you gave them all you had
Bb F G
Yes, and now you're hooked on selfishness with nothing left to give
Bb F C G Bb C F
Like pigs thinking only of themselves, now, that's the way you live
(Chorus)
Am Bb F
Well, ain't you tired of all the darkness, tired of all the pain
Gm Bb C F
Come on into the sunshine, brother, step right out of the rain
Am Bb F
Ain't you tired of living in darkness, playing all the games
Gm Bb C F
Come on into the sunshine, brother, step right out of the rain
Gm Bb C F
Well you can come into the sunshine, brother, step right out of the rain
F
Well, won't you stop and listen, I've got a word to say
Bb F
I'd like to lay a bit of news on you before you slip away
Am Bb
It's about an old friend of mine and how his kingdom's come
F C Bb F
Won't you open up your heart my friend and welcome in the Father's Son
Yes, can you tell me where you're going, do you know where you've been
Bb F
Can you hear someone knocking on your heart but the fear won't let him in
Am Bb
Well, are you gonna keep on running, just like you've always done
F C Bb F
Won't you open up your heart my friend and welcome in the Father's Son
Have you heard about his spirit, they call him the Holy Ghost
Bb F
Yes he came two thousand years ago the helper of the heavenly host
Am Bb
Just to give to us the victory, you know the battle has been won
F C Bb F
Won't you open up your heart my friend and welcome in the Father's Son
I have one more thing I want to tell you, just one more thing to do
Bb F
We're gonna knockout the powers of darkness and you can do it too
am Bb
Said you don't have to wait no longer, yes, our great day has come
F C
Won't you open up your heart my friend
F C
Open up and let him in
F C Bb F
Open up your heart to him, yea, and welcome in the Father's Son
Bb F
Welcome in the Father's Son (Repeat and fade)
