Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[C]God of the poor man this
is how the day began
[G]Eight co defendants, I,
[Dm]Daniel Ber[D]rigan
Oh [Dm]an d [Bb]only a layman's
[F]batch [Dm]of napalm
We pulled the draft [Bb]files out
We [Gm]burned them in [C]the parking lot
[Bb]Better the files than the
bod[F]ies of children

[Verse 2]
[Am]I had no rig[F]ht but for the lov[Dm]e of you[G][C]
I had no [F]right but for [Dm]the love of you
[G]

[Verse 3]
[C]Many roads led here,
walked with the suffering
[G]Tom in Guatemala, Phillip in New Or[Dm]leans
[D]Oh it's [Dm]a lo[Bb]ng road
from [F]law to [Dm]justice
I went to Vi[Bb]etnam, I went [Gm]for peace
They [C]dropped their bombs
[Bb]Right where my government
[F]knew I would [Am]be

[Verse 4]
I had no [F]right but for the [Dm]love of [G]you[C]
I had no [F]right but for the [Dm]love of you
[G]

[Verse 5]
[Dm]And all my count[Bb]ry saw
[Dm]Were priests who broke[Bb] the law

[Verse 6]
[C]First it was question, then it was a mission
[G]How to be American,
how to be a [Dm]Christian
[D]Oh if [Dm]their law [Bb]is their cross and
the [F]cross is [Am]burning

[Verse 7]
[F]The [Dm]love of [G]you[C][F]
The [Dm]love of you
[G]

[Verse 8]
[C]God of the just I'll never
win a peace prize
[G]Falling like Jesus
Now let the jury [Em]rise[Dm]
[D]Oh [Dm]it's all [Bb]of us versus
[F]all that [Dm]paper
They took the [Bb]only way they
[Gm]know who is on tri[C]al today
De[Bb]liver us unto each oth[F]er, I [Am]pray

[Verse 9]
I had no [F]right but for
[Dm]the love of [G]you[C]
And every tri[F]al I stood,
I stood [Dm]for you
[G]

[Verse 10]
[C]Eyes on the trial
Eight a.m. arrival
Hands on the Bible
