| * Strum Once

[Verse 1]
G                               C/G                          G    C/G  G  C/G
 The cool people had a meeting, decided that I wasn't one of them
     Em                       Em7                            D
So I took my Nazarene guitar, played it all the way to Bethlehem
           Am                       C/G                          G    C/G  G  C/G
Where some kind people took me in before I even found that I was lost
       Am                 C/G                     G    C/G  G  C/G
Oh, my mind moves slowly, north side covered with moss

[Chorus]
    Em          Em7             D
Nazarene guitar, south mountain star
          Em            Em7                 D
Roads can scar and heal, words can heal and scar
        Am                C/G                    G     C/G  G  C/G
Ah, but love lasts longer, love is stronger than steel
        Am                  C/G               G     C/G  G  C/G
There's music in the valley, sounds of how it feels

[Verse 2]
     G            C/G                  G      C/G  G  C/G
They welcomed me, front door key to my dreams
        Em                 Em7                     D
Oh, the young and the poor tend to see the lower extremes
  Am                     C/G                           G    C/G  G  C/G
I listened in the wings, filling with sounds that were true
   Am                C/G              G   C/G  G  C/G
It seems I was given  more than I was due

[Chorus]
    Em          Em7             D
Nazarene guitar, south mountain star
          Em            Em7                 D
Roads can scar and heal, words can heal and scar
        Am                C/G                    G     C/G  G  C/G
Ah, but love lasts longer, love is stronger than steel
        Am                  C/G               G     C/G  G  C/G
There's music in the valley, sounds of how it feels

[Instrumental]
G  C/G  G  C/G  G  C/G
Em  Em7  D
Am  C/G  G  C/G  G  C/G x2

[Verse 3]
       G*                    C/G*                           G*   C/G*
Future family had a meeting, decided that I could be one of them
     Em*                         Em7*                             D
So I took my Nazarene guitar and played it all the way from Bethlehem
  Am               C/G                     G       C/G  G  C/G
I miss those hills kept watch on me and my friends
Am                    C/G              G   C/G  G  C/G
Mostly it's the faces with me till the end
         Am                        C/G              G   C/G  G  C/G
Though I slouched away, they'll be with me till the end
