(verse 1) 
G                      G  C    C         D Bm 
 They used to call him Je-sus; long time a-go. 
Em                         Bm     C         D 
 They're still calling him Jesus; don't you know? 
G                          C      G      C           D 
 They crossed the wood and hanged him; a long time a-go. 
Em                   Bm         C         D 
 They still misunder-stand him; those who don't know. 

G                        F#        B7       Em     D  C  D 
 And in the evening  his love will lead the blind. 
G                F#            B7 
 In every secret corner there  in your mind.

(verse 2) 
G                        C   G        C         D Bm 
 They called him Gautama Bud-dha; oh  long time a-go. 
Em                      Bm     C         D 
 He turned the world to order; don't you know? 
G               C    G        C         D Bm 
 He used to sit know-ing; oh  long time a-go. 
Em                     Bm     C     D 
 Where you and me were going  oh wo-oah. 

(Chorus 2) 
G                        F#        B7       Em 
 And in the evening  his love will lead the blind.
