Capo 2

        A
I saw a black man with a bible and a sparkler in his hand
       A                          E
He was holding a tent revival and running a firework stand
            A                               D
He said the end of the world is coming, you better get on your knees
      A                                E           A
Today bottle rockets, two for one, but salvation's free

          A
He said I quit my job at a big church where the milk and money flowed
        A                           E                
To sell cherry bombs for Jesus in a tent beside the road
        A                         D

      A                                 E         A

Mission Temple Fireworks Stand


Now fireworks are dangerous, they can blow up in your face
You better read the instructions, light the fuse and get away
These things are made in China so it's easy to see
Why a man who worships Buddha ain't got no guarantees
Here at the...

Chorus

Whoa-o-o-o-o

Solo


Bridge:
D
Everything I'm selling is all going up in smoke
          D                                 A
It’s like taking twenty dollars, y’all, and watching it explode
    D
The trumpet sounds and The Lord comes back I promise you one thing
          E                
I'll be a human bottle rocket and I'll go out with a bang

I'll leave this...
