Dem bones gonna rise again

spiritual song, story of Adam and Eve
The lord he thought he'd make a man (Dem Bones gonna rise again)
So he took a little water, and took a little sand (Dem Bones gonna rise
again)

Refr: I knows it, knows it, indeed I knows it children,
I knows it, whee, dem bones gonna rise again

Placed them in a garden fair
Thought they'd be most happy there

Around that tree you must not go
Leave them apples for to grow

Around that tree the devil slunk
At Miss Eve his eye he wunk

Miss Eve them apples are powerful fine
Just eat one, the Lord won't mind

So she took a little peck and she took a little pull
Soon she had her apron full

Next day when the Lord came round
Spied them cores all over the ground

Adam Adam where art thou?
Here I am, Lord, I'm coming now.

Who ate them apples off my tree
Wasn't me Lord, it must have been Eve

Adam you must leave this place
Earn your living by the sweat of your face

And that's the story of the fall from grace
Till Jesus saved our human race...

I altered the last verse from one I deemed too sexist

anyone know the chords to this song? and why I can't find it anywhere on the internet?

[bsondahl]

@Hurricanetrakker

It's a standard 3 chord song, such as G C D or C F G or E A Bb, although not necessarily in that order. I don't have a guitar handy or I could be more specific
