THE OUTLAW

G                                  C                 G
Some say He was an outlaw, that He roamed across the land,
       D                                 C                
with a band of unschooled ruffians and a few old fishermen.
       G                                  C               G
No one knew just where He came from or exactly what He'd done,
         D                                  C               Am  G C G C
but they said it must be something bad that kept Him on the run.

G                                 C              G 
Some say He was a poet, that He'd stand upon the hill,
        D                                   C                    
and His voice could calm an angry crowd, or make the waves stand still.
        G                           C              G
That He spoke in many parables that few could understand,
        D                            C              Am  G C G C
but the people sat for hours just to listen to this man.

G                             C           G
Some say He was a sorcerer, a man of mystery,
         D                             C                
He could walk upon the water, He could make a blind man see.
        G                                  C                    G 
That He conjured wine at weddings and did tricks with fish and bread,
        D                                     C               Am   G C G C 
that He talked of being born again and raised people from the dead.

G                          C              G 
Some say a politician, who spoke of being free,
       D                             C              
He was followed by the masses on the shores of Galilee.
         G                              C              G
He spoke out against corruption and He bowed to no decree,
         D                                      C               Am   G C G C                   
and they feared His strength and power, so they nailed Him to a tree.

G                                 C             G
Some say He was the Son of God, a man above all men,
       D                            C                
but He came to be a servant, and to set us free from sin.
    G                                    C              G
And that's who I believe He was, 'cause that's who I believe,
      D                                      C              Am   G C G
and I think we should get ready, 'cause it's time for us to leave.
