		   "The Way It Must Be" or "If You Want To Get Free" by Waterdeep
From the album "To Chase Away the Birds"
Written by Donald W. Chaffer on 8/29/94 at 13:45 (first 2 verses and 
   both choruses on the road from Dodge City to K.C.) and 9/1/94 at 
   17:54 (second two verses in K.C.) 
Copyright 1995 Hey Ruth Music


Open standard-tuned six-string acoustic.  Strummed in 6/8 time; key of 
D major.  This is actually not the band, it's just Don solo with his 
guitar.  I think this a great message for both believers and 
non-believers.

[intro]  D, G, D, G 


[verse 1]
       D                           G
IN THE GAS STATION BATHROOM BY THE CONDOM MACHINE
  D                     A7sus  A7
I HEARD THE WORD OF THE LORD
        D                           G
HE SAID TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES THIS IS HOLY GROUND TOO
           A7sus        A7           D
YOU KNOW I CAME FOR THE SICK AND THE BORED


[verse 2]
            D                        G
BENEATH THE SELLING OF BEERS AND THE WELLING UP OF TEARS
               D                       A7sus  A7
OUT BEYOND THE BEAM OF THE REMOTE CONTROL
          D                         G
THERE'S A WHISPERING VOICE THAT THE HUMBLE EAR HEARS
          D/F#      G
THAT SAYS I'M STILL WAITING
           Asus        A7      G      D
FOR YOU TO ASK JUST TO BE MADE WHOLE


[chorus 1]
        G                          D
AND THE BUSH IT WAS BURNING ON THE MOUNTAIN TOP
               G                          Asus        A
AND THOUGH THE LEAVES NEVER BLACKENED THE FIRE DIDN'T STOP
           D           G             Bm7         E7
THAT'S THE WAY THAT IT WORKS IN THIS OLD LIFE OF SIN
          D            E7               A7sus           G  D  G  D
YOU GOTTA LET THE FIRE BURN YOU JUST TO GET CLEAN WITHIN


[verse 3]
        D                      G
I AM SO OFTEN DETERRED FROM MY ACTUAL INTENT
      D                           A7sus  A7
BY DISTRACTIONS IN A CELLOPHANE WRAP
         D                                 G
AND BY A CRUEL VOICE THAT TAUNTS ME WHEN I OPEN THEM UP
        A7sus         A7          D
TO FIND JUST ONE MORE BOX FULL OF CRAP


[verse 4]
                  D                                 G                    D
IT'S WHERE YOU'RE MOCKED WHILE YOU ABSTAIN AND THEN CURSED WHEN YOU GIVE IN
                                       A7sus  A7
IT'S ALL A GAME THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO BEAT
              D                         G
BUT THERE'S A PEACEFUL REFRAIN GOD WILL SING IN YOUR BRAIN
                 A7sus         A7             G
WHEN YOU PUT THE NAILS TO YOUR HANDS AND YOUR FEET


[bridge]
        G                    D/F#                 E7    A7sus  A7
AND THE SMELL OF OUR SACRIFICES STILL FILLS UP MY HEAD
               G                     D/F#                      E7    A7sus  A7
THERE'S JUST A FEW LEFT AT THE ALTAR LORD ALL THE REST OF THEM FLED
      G                               D/F#
WE'VE CRIED AND WE'VE TRIED AND WE'VE SWEAT AND WE'VE BLED
       E7                                   A7sus              A7    A7sus  A7
BUT WE DON'T JUST NEED ATONEMENT WE NEED TO BE RAISED FROM THE DEAD


[chorus 2]
              G                             D
AND WHEN THEY TOOK DOWN THE CROSS FROM THAT DARK HILLSIDE
    G                            A7sus          A7
THE BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS WAS THE BLOOD FROM HIS SIDE
           D           G                Bm7         E7
THAT'S THE WAY THAT IT WORKS THAT'S THE WAY IT MUST BE
          D             E7               A7sus         G  D
YOU GOTTA LET HIS BLOOD STAIN YOU IF YOU WANT TO GET FREE


[repeat chorus 2]
              G                             D
AND WHEN THEY TOOK DOWN THE CROSS FROM THAT DARK HILLSIDE
    G                            A7sus          A7
THE BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS WAS THE BLOOD FROM HIS SIDE
           D           G                Bm7         E7
THAT'S THE WAY THAT IT WORKS THAT'S THE WAY IT MUST BE
          D             E7               A7sus    A7   G
YOU GOTTA LET HIS BLOOD STAIN YOU IF YOU WANT TO GET FREE
D                    G
  IF YOU WANT TO GET FREE
D                       G
  DON'T YOU WANT TO GET FREE
D                        G  D
  I THINK YOU WANT TO BE....FREE
