Intro: A 

A               F#m
Red face at noon
Bm                          D
Stripped naked we can't get free
A                        F#m
And doubling over in the street
D                A
Dozens just like me
                 Bm     A
Spreading like a rumor 
                 C#m   Bm  A
Spreading like a rumor

A                                       F#m
And the doctors come traveling house to house
Bm                           D
and they visit the sick each day
A                                 F#m
Sit with them there until they're gone
D                A
Die quicker that way
D             C#m
Save who they save
Bm                       D
on their way down to the grave
                 A       D
Spreading like a rumor
	         C#m     Bm   A
Spreading like a rumor

A                               F#m
Run to the altars beg for shade
Bm                            D
take to the high sea thousand strong 
A                                 F#m
Hang on to your goodness while you can
D                      A
sweat it out all night long
D                  A
And listen for the old melody
D E
  As it comes to me

     A                       D
On a high wind down from Ethiopia 
     A                       D
On a high wind down from Ethiopia
     A                       D
On a high wind down from Ethiopia 
     A                       D    Dmaj7
On a high wind down from Ethiopia
