[C#] [B] He fell [C#] to his knees and he cried out for [B] mercy
Heartfelt confessionals [C#] to an angry [Bm] mob
But vengeance was [C#] theirs as they bellowed for [B] justice
Death to the [C#] man who has sinned [B] against God
[E] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [B] oh
[E]
[B] I joined [C#] in the chant feeling so high and [B] mighty
Pointing a finger from up on my throne
Till I looked in his tears and [C#] I caught my [B] reflection
And I knew that [C#] I could not cast the [B] first stone
Let the devil fall slowly, though truth's been revealed
So [E] quit still the jury for a moment [B] to feel
And in the courts of compassion I hope we can appeal
To the better angels of our nature
To the [E] better angels of our [B] nature, oh

all [A] of my soft streets [B] are plenty
She walked [E] the alleys [F#] of ancient [B] me
While clutching my [E] greed I was [A] struck by [B]
vision
But for the grace [F#] of God that [B] could be me
And [E] the rich chambers [B] of lofty ideals
Still [E] debating the giving when handed down [B] the bill
But in [E] the Congress of kindness [Em] I hope that we [B] can yield
To the [E] better angels of [B] our nature

[B] We are building a world with a [E] fevered [B] emotion
While trying [E] to keep it from [B] coming apart
But as we reach for [E] the dream can [C#m] we squeeze [B] within us
We won't have [E] the hope if [F#m] we don't have [B] the heart
[E] And the candle of hope [B]
declines
[A] And [E]
all [B] society's wise
But [A] if you're not [E] disabled
