[Verse 1]
And when the son man [C]comes,
[Bb]and all the holy angels with h[A]im,[Dm]
Then shall he sit on his glorious throne,
[C]And he will divide the nations before [F]him,
as a shepher[G]d separates the sheep [C]from the goats.

[Verse 2]
[Bb]And she shal[C]l put the shee[Bb]p on his
[A]right [Dm]and the goats on his left,
[C]And he shall say to the [F]sheep [Gsus4]come ye,[F][G][C]
[Dm]blessed of my father,
[C]Inherit the kingdom I h[F]ave prepared for you
from the [C]foundation of the [Bb]world,
[F]For I was hun[Bb]gry,
[F]and[Bb] you [F]gave me some[C]thing to eat,
I was [Bb]thirsty, and you gave me something to drink,
[Am][C]
I was na[F]ked, and you clothed [G]me,
I was a stranger, and [F]you invited me in,

And we gave you drink?
[F][G][C]

[Verse 4]
Huh, when were you naked lord,
[Bb]and we clothed [A]you?

[B][Bb][E][Bb][E]
Depart from me, you cursed ones,
into everlasting fire,
Prepared for the devil and his angels.

[Verse 7]
For I was [E]hungry,
and you gave me nothing to eat,
I was thirsty,
and you gave me nothing to drink,
I was naked, out in the cold, in exposure,
and you sent me away,
I was a stranger,
and I knocked at your door,
But you didn't open, you told me to go away,
I was sick, racked in pain upon my bed,
And I begged, and prayed,
and pleaded that you'd come, but you didn't,
I was in prison, and I rotted there,
I'd prayed that you'd come.

[Verse 8]
I heard your pro[Bb]grams on the [E]radio,
I read your magazines, but you never came.
Depart from [Bb]me!
[E]Lord, there must be some mistake,
[Am]when?
[G]Lord, [F]I mean, when were you hungry lord
[Am]and we didn't [E]give you something to eat?
[Bb]And [Am]lord, when were you thirsty,
and we didn't give you drink?
I mean, that's not [G]fair, well,
[F]would you like something now?
Would one of the angels like to go out and get the
lord a hamburger [C]and [Am]a coke?
[E]Oh, you're not hungry,
[Bb]yeah[Am], I lost my appetite too.[G]

[Verse 9]
[G]Uh lord uh, [F]lord, when were you naked,
I mean lord, that's not [E]fair either lord,
We didn't know what size you [Bb]wear.[Am]
[G]Oh lord, when were you a stranger lord,
[F]
You weren't one of those creepy people who used to come [C]to the door,
were [Am]you?
Oh lord, that wasn't our [E]ministry [Bb]lord.[Am]
we just didn't feel led, [G]you know?
[F]Lord, [G]when wer[F]e you sick? what did you have,
[Am]anyway?
Well, at least [E]it wasn't fatal,
oh, it [Am]was?
I'm [E]sorry lord, I would have
sent [Bb]you a card.[Am]
[G]Lord, just on last thing we want [F]to know,
When were you in prison [Am]lord?[E]
[F#m]what were you in for anyway?[G]
I had [E]a friend in levenworth

[Interlude 2]
Enough!
[Eb][F][Eb][E][E][E]

[Verse 10]
In as much as you've not done it unto the least
[E]of my bretheren,
You've not done it unto me.
In as much as you've not done it
unto the least of my bretheren,
You've not done it unto me.
depart from me.
And these shall go away
into everlast[E]ing fire.[E]
But [C]the righteous into
eternal [Bb]life![C][A]
And my [Dm]friends, the only difference
between the sheep and the [C]goats,
According to this scrip[C]ture,[F]
Is what they did, an[G]d didn't [C]do!!
