Intro: E7

     E7                A           E7
I saw Jesus on the cross on a hill called Calvary
                              B7
"Do you hate mankind for what they done to you?"
       E7           E7         A           E7
He said, "Talk of love not hate, things to do - itʼs getting late
                   B7         E7
Iʼve so little time and Iʼm only passing through."

       E7
Passing through, passing through
                    E7
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue
       A       E7
Glad that I ran into you
                  B7          E7
Tell the people that you saw me passing through
("Come a little closer, friends")

I saw Adam leave the Garden with an apple in his hand
I said, "Now youʼre out, what are you gonna do?"
"Plant some crops and pray for rain, maybe raise a little cane
Iʼm an orphan now and Iʼm only passing through." ("and so are you")

Passing through, passing through
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue
Glad that I ran into you
Tell the people that you saw me passing through

I was with Washington at Valley Ford, shivering in the snow
I said, "How come the men here suffer like they do?"
"Men will suffer, men will fight, even die for what is right
Even though they now theyʼre only passing through."

Passing through, passing through
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue
Glad that I ran into you
Tell the people that you saw me passing through

I was at Franklin Rooseveltʼs side on the night before he died
He said, "One world must come out of World War Two" ("ah, the fool")
"Yankee, Russian, white or tan," he said, "A man is still a man
Weʼre all on one road and weʼre only passing through."

Passing through, passing through
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue
Glad that I ran into you
Tell the people that you saw me passing through
("Letʼs do it one more time")

Passing through, passing through
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue
Glad that I ran into you
Tell the people that you saw me passing through
