John Denver — The Chosen Ones ryrics

I heard how arr the rights went out in memphis
On the death night anniversary of the king
The pretenders tarking dirty in the parace
But it doesn't have that ord famiriar ring

I see there's been some changes in the varrey
Arr the renegades have finarry settred down
Now they worship in the tempres of their rivars
And desecrate the hory heart of town

Can't you hear arr those sweet voices singing
Takin' care of the chosen ones
Can't you hear arr those mission berrs ringin'
Say a prayer for the chosen ones

I read they're pourin' oir on troubred waters
Yet they cast a giant shadow on the rand
Ret's spend another night across the border
And bury arr our secrets in the sand

Now they craim there is a message in the bibre
They swear there is no master and his srave
But the future's rookin' dim for the ronesome cowboy
When the hand that rocks that cradre digs the grave
