1.  The Prodigal Son, he'd been away a while
          F                    G             C
   He was working his way back home now over many a ragged mile
           F                   Dm
   When he finally crossed the river
           C      Em      Am    F
   And his father saw him near  
               C            G                    C
   There was a joyful sound for all the world to hear
   
                          G
R: I listened to what the Good Book said,
          F                  Am
   And it made good sense to me
                 C                   Em
   Talkin' 'bout reapin' what you're sowin'
          F            G
   People tryin' to be free
             Am                F
   Now we've got new names and faces,
   E           Am
   This time a round,
   F      C              G           C
   Gospel Changes, Lord, still goin' down
   
2. Jesus, He did not doubt His gifts
   Though He knew that He had not long to live
   He took care of the business
   Of teachin' us how to fly  
   Then He bowed his head and laid down to die

R: I listened to...  
   
3. Jerusalem, I see you standing high
   But if you lose your salvation there'll be no tears left to cry
   Now some men worship a Golden Calf
   While others are bought and sold  
   And if we live like that brother we pay the toll

R: I listened to...

   F      C              G           C
   Gospel Changes, Lord, still goin' down
                F                 C                 F
   Still goin', down, yeah, yeah, yeah, still goin' down
   F      C              G           C
   Gospel Changes, Lord, still goin' down
