G         G
  Oh You did not have a home
G/B             C                   G
    There were plac-es You visited fre-quently
 C                          G
Took off Your shoes and scratched Your feet
                              G/f#            Em
Cause You knew that the whole      world be-longed to the meek
        Am7                 Em
But You did not have a home
        C           D    G
No You did not have   a home

And You did not take a wife
There were pretty maids all in a row
Who lined up to touch the hem of Your robe
But You had no place to take them
So You did not take a wife
No You did not take a wife

C   G               C  G
  Birds have nests,   fox-es have dens
C                      Em
  But the hope of the whole world rests
        Am                      Em
On the shoul-ders of a homeless man
             Am                      Em
You had the shoul-ders of a homeless man
        C          D   G
You did   not have   a   home

And you had no stones to throw
You cam without an ax to grind
You did not tow the party line
No wonder sight came to the blind
You had no stones to throw
No you had no stones to throw

So you rode and ass's foal
Well they spread out they're coats and cut down palms
For you and your donkey to walk upon
But the world can't find what it thinks it wants
On the back of an ass's foal
So I had you, guess you had to be sold
Cause the world can't stand what it cannot own
And it can't own you
You did not have a home

Birds have nests, foxes have dens
But the hope of the whole world rests
On the shoulders of a homeless man
You had the shoulders of a homeless man
You did not have a home

Birds have nests, foxes have dens
But the hope of the whole world rests
On the shoulders of a homeless man
You had the shoulders of a homeless man
You did not have a home
