Dont Be Surprised

E                  Esus4          
She was heavy with child, he had a
E       Esus4
 hungry look
          E          Esus4   
They were out on the road just 
  E             Esus4
waitin' to be took
      Aadd9
And I wasn't much better, all I 
owned in a sack

But I had enough street smarts to 
watch my back
       F#m         F#m7     F#m  
And he asked me if I knew a place
            F#m7
 they could go
   F#m           F#m7  B         
To keep from the wind, away from 
    Bsus4        E       Esus4    
the rain and the drivin' snow
E   Esus4

            Abm
He said I'm good with my hands, I 
can work my way
      Aadd9
But I don't know a soul here, 
there's not much I can pay
       F#m      F#m7     F#m     
I just shook my head and all I 
    F#m7
could say
    B        Bsus4             E 
Was don't be surprised if they 
       Esus4    E   Esus4
turn you away


            E             Esus4   
I said your child will be born to 
  E         Esus4
a heartless place
      E           Esus4           
If he tries to do good they'll 
  E           Esus4
just spit in his face
         Aadd9
He might heal the sick, make a lame 
man walk

And draw big crowds of people to 
hear his talk
              F#m         F#m7    
But he'd make rich men so nervous,
       F#m       F#m7
 they'd take him away
           F#m        F#m7       
And they’d put him on trial, and 
B         Bsus2    E       
twist his words to make him
Esus4    E  Esus4
 pay
   Abm
He might be humble, the gentlest 
around
            Aadd9
But that won't stop some men from 
puttin' him down
          F#m             F#m7     
You see I don't have much faith in 
F#m          F#m7
people these days
   B        Bsus4             E  
So don't be surprised if they 
      Esus4    E  Esus4
turn him away

       E         Esus4     E     
Well I guess someday maybe Rome 
    Esus4
will fall
    E           Esus4     
And peace could live inside 
  E           Esus4
Jerusalem's walls
    Aadd9
And men could win at lots of things 
they tried

Grow food in the desert, maybe even 
learn how to fly
       F#m      F#m7              
In two thousand years they'll 
       F#m         F#m7
might look back on our day
F#m          F#m7      B  
They’d study about us, they’d 
             Bsus4                 
probably wonder how in the world we
  E        Esus4      E    Esus4
 could live this way
        Abm
But the more things changed the more
 they stayed the same
    Aadd9
And men will never give up all their
 hurtful games
  F#m            F#m7    F#m     
A few will stand tall, a few will
      F#m7
 walk straight
    B               Bsus4       E
But most of us will fall to the 
        Esus4    E   Esus4
fear and hate


Abm
Well I guess at the time it didn't 
seem so odd
           Aadd9
That I was talking with Joseph and 
Mary, the mother of God
 F#m                F#m7          
I wouldn't change a word if I saw 
F#m  F#m7
them today
               Aadd9        B     
And I wouldn't be so surprised if 
     E           Esus4    E   Esus4
they turned them away
            Abm
He said I'm good with my hands, I 
can work my way
      Aadd9
But I don't know a soul here, 
there's not much I can pay
       F#m      F#m7         F#m 
I just shook my head because all 
        F#m7
I could say
    Aadd9           B         E  
Was don't be surprised if they 
      Esus4
turn you away
