He Wasnt Like Us

          G
We didn't know for sure, but 
everybody said
C                             
That ol' boy ain't right in the 
               G
head, he's a little slow
We'd hide in the bushes not making a
 sound
     C                             
When he'd walk by we'd push him 
          G
down on that dirt road
Em            Bm           C
I was just as guilty as my friends
Em              Bm                
We had a lot of laughs at his ex- 
C
pense

[Chorus]
               G             C
He wasn't like us, he wasn't cool
          Em         D            
He'd just smile even while we were
       C
 being cruel
         G                  C
He stood out, he didn't fit in
            Em                     
But we kept throwing the stones, 
     D                C
no, we didn't let up on him
         Em                       
He never said a mean word, no, he 
D                 C
never even made a fuss
               G
He wasn't like us

[Verse]
      G                            
Later on he made a name in our 
      C
town, for hanging out
                            G    
And running around with the rough 
       C
crowd
          G
They were boozers and losers and low
 class broads
       C                           
But he saw good in 'em nobody else 
           G              C
saw and he brought it out
         Em                        
Then the rumors started flyin' that
 Bm                  C
 he was some kind of holy man
    Em                      Bm    
But we set him straight and told 
                         C
him to his face, he was a crazy man

[Chorus]
               G             C
He wasn't like us, he wasn't cool
          Em         D            
He'd just smile even while we were
       C
 being cruel
         G                  C
He stood out, he didn't fit in
            Em                     
But we kept throwing the stones, 
     D                C
no, we didn't let up on him
         Em                       
He never said a mean word, no, he 
D                 C
never even made a fuss
               G
He wasn't like us

[Bridge]
            Am                     
Well, I re- member the day he got 
  Bm               C
in trouble with the law
     Em                            
They cussed him and kicked him and 
D
mocked him and whipped him
         C
And they nailed him to the cross

[Tag]
               G                 C
He wasn't like us, he didn't fit in
           Em         D           
And I fell down on my knees and 
   C
wept for him
         Em                       
He never said a mean word, no, he 
D                 C
never even made a fuss
         Em                 D     
He never did nothing wrong, all he
              C
 ever did was love
               G
He wasn't like us, he wasn't like us
