The Nazarene (CHORDS) by Johnny Cash

[Verse 1]~
               A                  D           A
Caesar ruled Rome,, and all its glory!

                 D         E
Every land called Alexander Great!

   A                     D   A
But no man can compare in any story

                         E           A
With the one man who controls so many fate!


[Chorus]~
    A
Yes,, along the dusty road came The Nazarene!

    A
Baptized by John was The Nazarene!

    A
Preaching on the top of the mountain was The Nazarene!

    A
Followed by the multitude was The Nazarene!


                        D                     A
Tried and condemned they laid their stripes on Him!

                                E                   A
But,, like He said,, back from the dead came The Nazarene!

A        D      A           D      A
Came The Nazarene!


[Verse 2]~
A                     D         A
Nothing good had ever come from Nazareth;

                       D      E
An unimportant place in Galilee!

       A                     D         A
But the soul of any man could fall into bondage,,

                    E                A
And God had promised man could be set free!


[Chorus]~
   A
And then a long the dusty road came The Nazarene!

   A
Baptized by John was The Nazarene!

   A
Preaching on the top of the mountain was The Nazarene!

   A
Followed by the multitude was The Nazarene!

A                        D                     A
Tried and condemned they laid their stripes on Him!

                                E                    A
But,, like He said,, back from the dead came The Nazarene!

A        D      A           D      A
Came The Nazarene! Came The Nazarene!

A        D      A           D      A
Came The Nazarene! Came The Nazarene!
