Am    E7   Am      E7     Am
Holy Moses I have been removed
C                 G      C                Esus4 E
I have seen the spectre he has been here too
C                    G 
Distant cousin from down the line
F                   Dm            C 
Brand of people who ain't my kind
F F#dim  C   F              C
Holy   Moses I have been removed

Holy Moses, I have been deceived
Now the wind has changed direction, and I'll have to leave
Won't you please excuse my frankness
But it's not my cup of tea
Holy Moses, I have been deceived

Chorus:
           C            C 
I'm going back to the border
         F         G                 C
Where my affairs, my affairs ain't abused
         C        F
I can't take any more bad water
       D                               G7sus4
Been poisoned from my head down to my shoes

F  F#dim   C    F             C
Ho ly    Moses I have been deceived

Holy Moses, let us live in peace
Let us strive to find a way to make all hatred cease
There's a man over there, what's his color? I don't care
He's my brother, let us live in peace, oh
He's my brother, let us live in peace, oh
He's my brother, let us, let us live in peace
