Title: The Outlaw, by Larry Norman

Some ^Gsay He was an ^G/Coutlaw, that He roamed across the ^Gland With a ^Dband of unschooled ruffians and a ^Cfew old fishermen No one ^Gknew just where He ^G/Ccame from or exactly what He'd [G]done But they ^Dsaid it must be something bad that ^Fkept Him on the [C]run.[G] [G/C] [G] [G/C]

Some ^Gsay He was a ^G/Cpoet that He'd stand upon the ^Ghill And his ^Dvoice could calm an angry crowd or ^Cmake the waves stand still That He ^Gspoke in many ^G/Cparables that few could under-^Gstand But the ^Dpeople sat for hours just to ^Flisten to this ^Cman.^G [G/C] [G] [G/C]

Some ^Gsay He was a ^G/Csorcerer a man of myste-^Gry He could ^Dwalk upon the water. He could ^Cmake a blind man see. That He ^Gconjured wine at ^G/Cweddings and did tricks with fish and ^Gbread. That He ^Dtalked of being born again and raised ^Fpeople from the [C]dead.[G] [G/C] [G] [G/C]

Some ^Gsay a poli-^G/Ctician who spoke of being ^Gfree He was ^Dfollowed by the masses on the ^Cshores of Galilee He spoke ^Gout against corrup-^G/Ction and He bowed to no de- [G]cree And they ^Dfeared His strength and power so they ^Fnailed Him to a [C]tree.[G] [G/C]

Some ^Gsay He was the ^G/CSon of God a man above all ^Gmen But He ^Dcame to be a servant and to ^Cset us free from sin And ^Gthat's who I be-^G/Clieve He was 'cause that's who I be- [G]lieve And I ^Dthink we should get ready 'cause it's ^Ftime for us to [C]leave.[G]

comment:The Outlaw, by Larry Norman, from "Only Visiting this

Planet"

comment:The G/C sounds better in this song than just C. If you make your G with your pinkie,

comment:ring and middle fingers, you can easily change to G/C by fretting your index finger

comment:on the 2nd string/1st fret, and then moving your middle finger from the 5th string

comment:to the 4th string/2nd fret. Your ring finger will muff the 5th string.

comment:Just hold the chord shown and pluck the stings by number. The strings are numbered

comment:1 to 6. String 1 is the high E string. It is the thinnest string, on the bottom

comment: as you hold the guitar. Strings count up from there, 2 3 4 5 ... The 6th string

comment:is the low (deepest sound) E string. It is the thickest string, on the top as you

comment:hold the guitar. You will have to figure out which fingers you like to use for

comment:each string. I tend to use my ring finger for the 1st sting, middle finger for the 2nd,

comment:index finger for 3rd string, and my thumb for the 4th, 5th and 6th strings.
