Dont Be Surprised

E                  Esus4          E       Esus4 
She was heavy with child, he had a hungry look  
          E          Esus4     E             Esus4 
They were out on the road just waitin' to be took  
      Amaj7       A             Amaj7      A 
And I wasn't much better, all I owned in a sack  
      Amaj7      A                Amaj7    A 
But I had enough street smarts to watch my back  
       F#m         F#m7     F#m              F#m7 
And he asked me if I knew a place they could go  
   F#m           F#m7  B             Bsus4        E       Esus4    E   Esus4 
To keep from the wind, away from the rain and the drivin' snow  
            Amaj7        A            Amaj7   A 
He said I'm good with my hands, I can work my way 
      Amaj7        A                      Amaj7      A 
But I don't know a soul here, there's not much I can pay  
       F#m      F#m7     F#m         F#m7 
I just shook my head and all I could say 
    B        Bsus4             E        Esus4    E   Esus4 
Was don't be surprised if they turn you away  


            E             Esus4     E         Esus4 
I said your child will be born to a heartless place  
      E           Esus4             E           Esus4 
If he tries to do good they'll just spit in his face  
         Amaj7    A            Amaj7    A 
He might heal the sick, make a lame man walk  
         Amaj7         A         Amaj7    A 
And draw big crowds of people to hear his talk  
              F#m         F#m7           F#m       F#m7 
But he'd make rich men so nervous, they'd take him away  
           F#m        F#m7       B         Bsus2    E       Esus4    E  Esus4 
And they’d put him on trial, and twist his words to make him pay  
   Amaj7    A           Amaj7    A 
He might be humble, the gentlest around  
         Amaj7           A        Amaj7       A 
But that won't stop some men from puttin' him down  
          F#m             F#m7     F#m          F#m7 
You see I don't have much faith in people these days  
   B        Bsus4             E        Esus4    E  Esus4 
So don't be surprised if they turn him away  

       E         Esus4     E         Esus4 
Well I guess someday maybe Rome will fall  
    E           Esus4       E           Esus4 
And peace could live inside Jerusalem's walls  
    Amaj7     A              Amaj7       A 
And men could win at lots of things they tried 
     Amaj7       A                  Amaj7        A 
Grow food in the desert, maybe even learn how to fly  
       F#m      F#m7                     F#m         F#m7 
In two thousand years they'll might look back on our day  
F#m          F#m7      B               Bsus4                   E        Esus4      E    Esus4 
They’d study about us, they’d probably wonder how in the world we could live this way  
        Amaj7       A           Amaj7     A 
But the more things changed the more they stayed the same  
    Amaj7          A                 Amaj7   A 
And men will never give up all their hurtful games 
  F#m            F#m7    F#m           F#m7 
A few will stand tall, a few will walk straight  
    B               Bsus4       E        Esus4    E   Esus4 
But most of us will fall to the fear and hate  


E                   Esus4          E       Esus4 
Well I guess at the time it didn't seem so odd 
           Amaj7        A                  Amaj7       A 
That I was talking with Joseph and Mary, the mother of God 
 F#m                F#m7          F#m  F#m7 
I wouldn't change a word if I saw them today  
               B     Bsus4             E           Esus4    E   Esus4 
And I wouldn't be so surprised if they turned them away  
            Amaj7        A            Amaj7   A 
He said I'm good with my hands, I can work my way  
      Amaj7        A                      Amaj7      A 
But I don't know a soul here, there's not much I can pay  
       F#m      F#m7         F#m         F#m7 
I just shook my head because all I could say  
    B        Bsus4             E        Esus4 
Was don't be surprised if they turn you away
