Capo: 1

The Book of Mormon - All-American Prophet Tabbed by: damienos Tuning: Standard Capo on 1st fret In these parts without chords they're singing acapella, play along the song and you'll figure it out :)

^GYou all know the Bible Is made of ^CTestaments old and ^Gnew ^GYou been told it's just those two parts Or only ^Aone if you're a ^DJew

But ^Gwhat if I were to tell you There's a ^Cfresh third part out ^Gthere Which was ^Gfound by a hip new prophet Who had a little ^DDonny Osmond flair?

Have you ^Gheard of the ^CAll-American ^GProphet? ^GThe blonde-haired, ^Cblue-eyed voice of ^DGod ^DHe ^Ddid^C#n't ^Ccome from the Middle ^AmEast ^FLike those other holy ^Dmen No, ^CGod's favorite ^Fprophet was ^Bbsus2All-American ^Bbsus2 ^Bsus2 ^Csus2 ^F ^F# ^G

I'm gonna take you back to Biblical times, 1823 ^F ^F# ^G An American man named Joe living on a farm In the holy land of Rochester, New York

You mean the Mormon Prophet Joseph Smith? That's right, that young man spoke to God He spoke to God, and God said "Joe, people really need to know that the Bible Isn't two parts, there's a part three to the Bible, Joe And I, God, have anointed you to dig up this part three That is buried by a tree on a hill in your backyard" Wow, God says go to your backyard and start digging? That makes perfect sense

^GJoseph Smith went up on that hill And ^Cdug where he was ^Gtold ^GAnd deep in the ground Joseph found ^Ashining plates of ^Dgold

^G"What are these Golden Plates? Who ^Cburied them here and ^Gwhy?" ^GThen appeared an Angel His ^Fname was ^F#Moro^Gni "I am Moroni"

The All-American ^GAngel My ^Gpeople lived here ^Clong, long ^Dago ^DThis ^Dis^C# a ^Chistory of my ^Amrace Please ^Fread the words ^Dwithin We were ^CJews who met with ^FChrist But we were ^Bbsus2All-American ^Bbsus2 ^Bsus2 ^Csus2

But don't let anybody see these plates except for ^Csus2you They are only for you to ^Bbsus2see Even if people ask you to show the ^AmPlates to them, don't Just ^Amcopy them onto normal paper Even ^Amthough this might make them question If the Plates are ^G#real or not This is sort of what God is ^Csus2going for ^F ^F# ^G

^GJoseph took the Plates home And wrote ^Cdown what he found in^Gside ^GHe turned those Plates into a book Then he ^Arushed into town and ^Dcried

"Hey, God ^Gspoke to me and gave me This ^Cblessed ancient ^Gtome He ^Ghath commanded me to publish it And stick it in every home" ^Bbsus2 ^Bsus2 ^Csus2

Wow, so the Bible is actually a trilogy And The Book of Mormon is Return of the Jedi?

I'm interested ^F ^F# ^G Now many people didn't believe the Prophet Joseph Smith They thought he'd made up this part three That was buried by a tree on the hill in his backyard

"Liar" But Joe said "This ^Gis no lie ^GSpeak to God all the time And he ^Ctold me to head ^GWest"

"So I'll ^Gtake my part three from the hill with the tree ^F#Feel ^Gfree if you'd like to come along with me ^F#To ^Gthe Promised Land" "The Promised Land?" "Paradise on the West Coast Nothing but fruit and fields as far as the eye can ^Gsee"

Have you ^Gheard of the ^CAll-American ^GProphet? ^GHe found a brand new ^Cbook about Jesus ^DChrist ^DWe ^C#are ^Cfollowing him to ^AmParadise We ^Fcall ourselves Mor^Dmon And ^Cour new re^Fligion is ^Bbsus2All-Americ^Ean

Wow, how much does it cost?

The ^EMormons kept on searching for That ^Amplace to settle down And every ^Ftime they thought they'd found it They ^Bbmgot kicked out of town And ^F#even though people wanted To ^Bmsee the Golden Plates ^GJoseph never ^Cshowed 'em I have maggots in my scrotum

Umm okay, well, anyway

^EmNow comes the part of our story That ^Cget a little bit ^Gsad ^EmOn the way to the Promised Land ^FMormons made people ^Dmad

^CJoseph was shot by an ^Amangry mob And ^Fknew he'd soon be ^Ddone ^C"You must lead the ^Ampeople ^Gnow My ^Bbsus2good friend, Brigham ^FYoung"

^F"Oh God, why are you letting me ^Csus2die Without having me show people the ^Bsus2Plates They'll have no proof I was telling the ^Amtruth or not They'll have to believe it just ^G#'cause Oh, I guess that's kinda what you were ^Csus2going for"

^AThe Prophet Joseph Smith died for what ^Dsus2he believed in ^ABut as followers, ^Athey kept heading West ^F#mAnd Brigham Young led them ^Bsus2to Paradise A ^Esparkling land in Utah they call^Aed^D S^Aalt Lake City

And there, ^F#mthe Mormons multi^Aplied And made big ^C#mMormon families ^F#mGeneration to generation ^Bsus2Until finally, they ^Emade me And ^Anow it's my job ^Dsus2to lead ^Ayou Where ^Bmthose early settlers were led ^Glong ago

Have you ^Bbheard of the ^EbAll-American ^BbProphet? (Kevin Price) The ^Bbnext in line to ^Ebbe the voice of ^FGod (My best friend) ^FHe's ^Egonna ^Ebdo something ^Cmincredible And be ^AbJoseph Smith ^Fagain Because ^EbKevin Price the ^AbProphet is ^DbAll-American ^Dbsus2 ^Dsus2 ^Ebsus2 ^Ab ^A

If you order now We'll also throw in a set of steak knives

All-American ^Eb enjoy!
