Artist: Willie Nelson
[VERSE]
[G]I could tell the moment [Bm]that I saw Him[Am]
He was [G]nothing but the trouble making[D/A] kind
His hair[C] was much too [Bm]long and His [C]motley group of friend[Bm]s
H[F]ad nothing but rebellion on their [AM]minds
[G]He's rejected the establ[Bm]ishment complete[Am]ly
[G]I know for sure He's never held a [D/A]job
[C]He just goes from town to [Bm]town, [C]stirring up the [Bm]young folks
[F]Till they're nothing but a [Am]disrespectful[G] mob
I know [G/A]for sure He's never [D/A]joined the [A]army
And served His country like we all hav[D/A]e done
He'd [D]rather wear His sandals and His [A]flo[D]we[B]rs[A]
While others wage the war that must b[D]e wo[B]n [A]
They arrested Him last week and found Him guilty
And sentenced Him to die but that's no great loss
While others wage the war that must be won
T[G]hey arrested Him last week and found Him [BM]gui[Am]lty
a[G]nd sentenced Him to die [BM]but that's no great[AM] loss.
[C]Friday they will t[Bm]ake Him to a [C]place called Calv[Bm]ary
[F]And hang that troublemaker to a cross[G] .
