OUTLAW

Music & lyrics: Jonathan Harper

Intro: (Em)-(C)-(Am)-(Em)

Verse 1
(Em)Here is the story of an outlaw,
Some say was Heaven sent,
Others say He was a (C)traitor,
(Am)My friend swears He's inno(Em)cent.

(A)And the mark He left be(C)hind is still on my friend's (G)mind,
Though they have never (A)met.
(C)'Cause the story is very (G)old, & often it's been (A)told
He can't for(C)get about this (D)man from Naza(Em)reth.

Verse 2
(Em)Well, some say He was a Savior,
That He saved and healed the sick.
And some said He had a (C)demon,
(Am)That it was just a devil's (Em)trick.

(A)So they nailed Him to a (C)tree on a mount called Calva(G)ry
And left Him there to (A)die.
(C)After three days in the (G)grave from the dead He was (A)raised.
He conquered (C)death, this (D)man from Naza(Em)reth.

Riff: (Em)-(C)-(Em)-(C)

Bridge
(G)Out(F)law, who (C)fought without a (G)gun.
Out(F)law, who (C)only won with (G)love.
Out(F)law (C)riding in the (G)sun.
Out(F)law, out(C)law, where did you come (Em)from?

Lead break: (Em)-(C)-(Am)-(Em)-(C)-(Am)-(Em)

Verse 3
(Em)Well, I thought it was a (C)fable,
(Am)But I finally changed my (Em)mind,
'Cause my friend's newfound (C)faith
(Am)Is something I just can't de(Em)ny.

(A)There is a sparkle in his (C)eye,
A peace deep down in (G)side I just can not for(A)get,
(C)That the change that's in his (G)life had happened over(A)night,
It's the eff(C)ect of this strange (D)man from Naza(Em)reth.

Ending: (Em)-(C)-(Em)-(C) Outlaw in the sun
[Repeat until the end]
