(3/4) [Intro] | G | D | D | A7 | | D | D | D | [Verse 1]
D                D7           G
Only a tramp was Lazarus' sad fate

           A7                     D
He who lay down at the rich man's gate

   D                                          G
He begged for the crumbs from the rich man to eat

              D           A7          D
He was only a tramp found dead on the street
[Verse 2]
       D                             D7            G
He was some mother's darlin', he was some mother's son

            A7                   D
Once he was fair and once he was young

    D                                      G
And some mother rocked him, her darlin' to sleep

                     D          A7           D
But they left him to die like a tramp on the street
[Verse 3]
D                           G
Jesus who died on Calvary's tree

                   A7                    D
He shed His life's blood for you and for me

     D                                    G
They pierced His sides, His hands and His feet

                     D          A7           D
And they left Him to die like a tramp on the street
[Verse 4]
       D                                       G
He was Mary's own darlin', He was God's chosen Son

            A7                   D
Once He was fair and once He was young

D                                   G
Mary she rocked Him, her darlin' to sleep

                     D          A7           D
But they left Him to die like a tramp on the street
[Verse 5]
   D                                   G
If Jesus should come and knock on your door

                    A7                    D
For a place to come in or bread from your store

          D                           G
Would you welcome Him in or turn Him away?

                      D             A                D
Then the Gods would deny you on the Great Judgment Day
