      [Intro]
B  (sustained)


[Verse 1]
        B                            B
I saw a black man with a bible and a sparkler in his hand
       B                          F#
He was holding a tent revival and running a firework stand
            B                                  E
He said the end of the world is coming, so you better get on your knees

          B                                     B
He said I quit my job at a big church where the milk and money flowed
        B                            F#
To sell cherry bombs for Jesus in a tent beside the road
        B                         E
I ain't in it for the money, most cars they pass on by
      B                                  F#           B

[Verse 3]
B                                 B
Fireworks are dangerous, they can blow up in your face
       B                                       F#
So you better read the instructions, light the fuse and get away
       B                               E
These things are made in China so it's easy to see
      B                             F#            B

        E
He said everything I'm selling is all going up in smoke
     E                                B
This world is like an atom bomb, it's ready to explode
         E
When the trumpet sounds and The Lord comes back I promise you one thing
          F#                           F#
I'll be a human bottle rocket and I'll go out with a bang

I'll leave this...
