                                    And come in with the C chord for the verse

C5                     G5
Her people come from Nineveh
D5                    E5
His people come from Rural Shade
C5                G5
They met in the tent
        D5
On the traveling Nazarene
C5                       G5
She took his big hand in hers
    D5                                E5
Led him from the tent to the piney woods
 D5            E5
Both sixteen

C5                        G5
A few months later they got married
D5                  E5
A few more months RoseofSharon got born
C5          G5                    D5
While he was out cutting pulp
C5                  G5
A logging chain whipped
D5                  E5
He never walked again
                      D5   E5
It was an accidental thing

C5                        G5
So he drank when they had money
D5                  E5
She worked as a serving girl
C5            G5                D5
In the rich folk?s houses in town
C5                G5
RoseofSharon grew up
D5                        E5
Cutting pictures out of magazines
            D5            E5
Of houses big and clean

Interlude: C5 G5 D5 E5 C5 G5 D5


C5                  G5
RoseofSharon ran away
D                  Em
With a boy selling bibles
C5                    G5
Crossed the line in Shreveport
D5
Turned 16
C5                        G5
Calls her mother from the payphone
D5                 E5                  
A laundromat in Natchez
                        D5
It?s not exactly what I dreamed

C5            G5
Palestine, Palestine
D5         E5
Oh Palestine
                      D5
We?ve got Satan on the run
            E5
Shouts the Nazarene
