Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Bdim][G][C][C#dim][D][G]

[Verse 1]
If they [G]saw Him riding [Em]in ,
long hair [C]flying in [Am]the wind,
Would they [G]love Him down
in [Em]Shreveport [D]today?
If they [G]heard He was [Em]a Jew and a
[C]Palestinian [Am]too,
Would they [D]love Him down
in Nashville [G]today?

[Verse 2]
If [G]they saw Him talk with [Em]ease to the [C]junkies,
whores, [Am]and thieves,
Would they [G]love Him out in
[Em]Wichita [D]today?
Would the rich [G]men think [Em]it funny if He
[C]said give up [Am]your money?
Would they [G]love [D]Him up on
Wall Street [G]today?

[Verse 3]
If [C]He made the wine from water,
gave it [G]to their sons and daughters,
What [Bb]would the folks in
[A]Salt Lake City [D]say?
If He [G]talked of brother[Em]hood as he
[C]walked their neighborhoods,
[Am]Would they love [D]Him
[G]up in [D]Boston [G]today?

[Verse 4]
If [C]He said love those who use you,
and for[G]give those who abuse you,
If He [Bb]turned the other [A]cheek,
what would you [D]say?
Would [G]you laugh and call [Em]Him crazy,
and just [C]send Him on [C#dim]his way,
If [G]Jesus came to [D]your [G]town[C]
[C#dim]today?[G][D]

[Outro 1]
