Spirit World Rising
Daniel Johnston
1990 (1990), Discovered Covered (2004)

I have been to Abilene
The spirit world rising
I have seen in Abilene
The Devil has Texas

Purple robes they shall wear
The spirit world rising
The number on their forehead and hands
The devil has Texas

From the sky the number seven
The devil defeated
In the sky the New Jerusalem

I have been to Abilene
The spirit world rising
I have seen in Abilene
The Devil has Texas

The Spirit World Rising
The Devil has Texas
The Spirit World Rising
The Devil has Texas

This is just a C chord being slid up 3 frets and then moved down fret by fret back to original position.  One chord per measure.  Let the low E string ring throughout this part.
