Bruce, Soul of a Man

Soul of a Man, Blind Willie Johnson

Open tuning CGCGCE played around the 3 and 5 frets.

Won't somebody tell me, answer if you can!

Is there anybodies children can tell me, what is the soul of a man?

I'm going to ask the question, answer if you can

If anybody here can tell me, what is the soul of a man?

I've traveled in different countries, I've traveled foreign lands
I've found nobody to tell me, what is the soul of a man

I saw a crowd stand talking, I just came up in time
Were hearing the doctor and the lawyer, say a man ain't nothing but his mind

I read the bible often, I try to read it right
As far as I can understand, it is nothing but a burning light.


When Christ stood in the temple, the people stood amazed
Was showing the doctors and the lawyers, how to raise a body from the grave
