When Will I Be Changed Lyrics

By Josh Ritter
Heard Josh play this in Vicar St. the other night. Cracking new song.
Chords 654321
F 133211 or 1X3211
Josh strums the chords but it also sounds nice to pick them.
I've been told there is a power in the blood
Is it enough, is it enough?
To carry me back from where I am to where I was
And I hope there is some power in my blood
I've been told that all these ties will surely bind
And hold me tight, and hold me tight
'Cause I'm hanging at the end of my own mind
And I hope that all these ties will surely bind
When oh when, will I be changed?
When oh when, will I be changed?
From this devil that I am
When oh when, will I be changed?
And I've been told I'll find the truth down in my bones
But I don't know, I don't know
I can't even seem to find my own road home
And I hope there is some truth down in my bones
Oh I hope that in this green and peaceful mist
You'll let me stay, you'll let me stay
'Cause even a poor serpent needs a place to rest
For a while as he is waiting to be changed.
When oh when, will I be changed?
When oh when, will I be changed?
From this devil that I am
When oh when, will I be changed?
When oh when, will I be changed?
