       G
Oh You did not have a home

G/B             C                  G
    There were places You visited frequently

    C                       G
You took off Your shoes and scratched Your feet

                         G/F#         Em
Cause You knew that the whole world belonged to the meek

        Am7            Em
But You did not have a home

       C       D      G
No You did not have a home

        G
And You did not take a wife

G/B           C                G
   There were pretty maids all in a row

    C                     G
Who lined up to touch the hem of Your robe

               G/F#     Em
But You had no place to take them

       Am7            Em
So You did not take a wife

       C       D      G
No You did not take a wife
[Chorus]
C G                C G
  Birds have nests,  foxes have dens

C                     Em
  But 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
[Verse 2]
        G
And you had no stones to throw

G/B    C               G
   You came without an ax to grind

    C               G
You did not tow the party line

          G/F#       Em
No wonder sight came to the blind

    Am7              Em
You had no stones to throw

       C      D         G
No you had no stones to throw

       G
So you rode and ass's foal

G/B          C                            G
   Well they spread out they're coats and cut down palms

    C                      G
For you and your donkey to walk upon

                    G/F#         Em
But the world can't find what it thinks it wants

       Am7              Em
On the back of an ass's foal

     Am7                 Em
So I guess you had to be sold

          C           D             C      D
Cause the world can't stand what it cannot own

       C
And it can't own you

        D          C
You did not have a home
[Chorus]
C G                C G
  Birds have nests,  foxes have dens

C                     Em
  But 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
You did not have a

C G                C G
  Birds have nests,  foxes have dens

C                     Em
  But 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             C      D
And the world can't stand what it can't own

       C
And it can't own you

        D          G
You did not have a home
