G C G
You did not have a home
C G
There were places You visited frequently
C G
Took off Your shoes and scratched Your feet
G D C Em
Cause You knew that the whole world belonged to the meek
C D Em
But You did not have a home
G C G
So You did not take a wife
C G
There were pretty maids all in a row
C G
Lined up to touch the hem of Your robe
G D C Em
But You had no place to take them, so
C D Em
You did not take a wife
C D C
No, You did not take a wife
Chorus:
CG
Birds have nests
CCG
Foxes have dens
C G
The hope of the whole world rests
Am Em
On the shoulders of a homeless man
Am Em
You had the shoulders of a homeless man
C D G
You did not have a home
G CG
You had no stones to throw
C G
You came without an ax to grind
C G
Did not tow the party line
G D C Em
No wonder sight came to the blind
C D Em
You had no stones to throw
G CG
And You rode an ass's foal
C G
They spread their coats and cut down palms
C G
For You and Your donkey to walk upon
G D C Em
But the world don't find what it thinks it wants
C D Em
On the back of an ass's foal
C D Em
So I guess You had to get sold
C D C D
Cause the world can't stand what it can't own
C D
And it can't own You
C D CCG
Cause You did not have a home
Chorus
