As recorded by Joan Baez (From the 1969 Album DAVID'S ALBUM) [Verse 1]
N.C.   D                      G
Only a tramp was Lazarus that day

       A7                     D
He lay down by the rich man's gate

                   D7                     G
He begged for crumbs from the rich man to eat

                     D F#7 Bm        A7           D G D
But they left him to die      like a tramp on the street
[Verse 2]
D                               G
And Jesus who died on Calvary's tree

              A7                    D
Shed his life blood for you and for me

                           D7            G
They pierced his side, his hands and his feet

                     D F#7 Bm        A7           D G D
And they left Him to die      like a tramp on the street
[Verse 3]
D                                         G
He was Mary's own darlin', he was Mary's own son;

            A7                   D
Once he was fair and once he was young

                                               G
And Mary she rocked him, her little darlin' to sleep

                     D F#7 Bm        A7           D G D
But they left him to die      like a tramp on the street
[Fiddle Solo] G D F#7 Bm A D G D [Verse 4]
D                        D7                  G
When the battles are over, and the victory's won

         A7                         D
Everyone mourns with the poor man's son

                  D7            G
Red white and blue, and victory sweet

                     D F#7 Bm        A7           D G D
And they left him to die      like a tramp on the street
[Outro] G D F#7 Bm A D G D
