If they saw [Em] him riding in, long [C] hair flying in [Am] the wind, [G] would they love him [Em] down in [D] Shreveport today?
[G] If they heard he was a [Em] Jew and [C] a Palestinian [Am] too, would [G] they love him down [D] in Nashville [G] today?
If they saw him [Em] talk with ease [C] to the junkies, [Am] whores and thieves, [G] would they love him [E] out in Wichita [D] today?
[G] Would the rich man [Em] think it funny [C] if he said, give [Am] up your money, [G] would they love him [D] up on Wall [G] Street today?
[C] If he made the wine from water, [G] gave it to their sons and daughters, [A#] what would the folks [A] in Salt Lake [D] City say?
And [G] if he talked of [Em] brotherhood [C] as he walked their [Am] neighborhoods, [D] would they love him up in Boston [G] today?
If [C] he said love those who use you [G] and forgive those who abuse you, [A#] if he turned the [A] other cheek, what [D] would you say?
Would [G] you laugh and [Em] call him crazy [C] and send him [C#m] on his way [G] if Jesus [D] came to your [G] town today?
