         G              Em  D
Well, I met the seventh son
    A
He came for everyone
     G                Em      D       A
The day he heard the lighting in the field
   G                     Em  D
I heard him clear his throat
   A
A fork within the road
      G              Em      D         A
That night the Tallahatchie took the wheel

Em
I’ve been throwing knives
    G                   D
To see just where they land
Em      G                A
Now my world is in your hands

Chorus:
D Am         Em         D
Send in the congregation
Am                Em             D
Open your eyes, step in the light
Am         Em       D
A jukebox generation
Am           Em
Just as you were

The voice upon the stage
​Is the heart inside a cage
​And it's singing like a bluebird in the round
​There’s mystery in this wood
​And ghosts within these roots
​That are tangled deep beneath this Southern Ground

I’ve been going through life
Making foolish plans
Now my world is in your hands

Chorus:
Send in the congregation
​Open your eyes, step in the light
​A jukebox generation
​Just as you were, right?

A
Just as you were
Just as you were, alright!

D
And you need blind faith
No false hope
No false hope
Do you have blind faith?
          F
No false hope
          G
No false hope
                     D
Where is your blind faith?
          F
No false hope
           G
No false hope
          D              F
Open your eyes, open your eyes
               G
Step into the light

Chorus:
Open your eyes, step into the light
​The sound becomes congregation
A congregation
A congregation
Yeah
And they're singing like a bluebird in the round
