G G/C G Some say He was a poet that He'd stand upon the hill D C And his voice could calm an angry crowd or make the waves stand still G G/C G That He spoke in many parables that few could under-stand D F C G But the people sat for hours just to listen to this man. GGG/C G G/C G Some say He was a sorcerer a man of myste-ry D C He could walk upon the water. He could make a blind man see. G G/C That He conjured wine at weddings and did tricks with fish G and bread. D F That He talked of being born again and raised people from the C GGGG/C dead. 1ST BREAK: G G/C G G/C D C G G/C G G/C D F C G G G/C G Some say a poli-tician who spoke of being free D C He was followed by the masses on the shores of Galilee G G/C He spoke out against corrup-tion and He bowed to no de- G cree D F And they feared His strength and power so they nailed Him to a C GG/C tree. 2ND BREAK: C6 D7 Em6 C G6 Em Am Am6 G G G/C G Some say He was the Son of God a man above all men D C But He came to be a servant and to set us free from sin G G/C And that's who I be-lieve He was 'cause that's who I be- G lieve D F And I think we should get ready 'cause it's time for us to C G leave. ENDING: C6 D7 Em6 C G6 Em Am Am6 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.} Fingerstyle: {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.} G G/C 6 3 4 3 6 3 4 3 6 3 4 2 6 3 4 3 (Introduction) G G/C 6 3 4 3 6 3 4 3 6 3 4 2 6 3 4 3 G G/C 6 3 4 3 6 3 4 3 6 3 4 2 6 3 4 3 G G/C 6 3 4 3 6 3 4 3 6 3 4 2 6 3 4 3 Some G G/C 6 3 4 3 6 3 4 3 6 3 4 2 6 3 4 3 say He was an ... outlaw, that He G/C G 6 3 4 2 6 3 4 3 6 3 4 3 6 3 4 3 roamed across the ... land, With a D D 4 2 3 1 4 2 3 2 4 2 3 1 4 2 3 2 band of unschooled ... ruffians and a C C 5 2 3 1 5 2 4 3 5 2 3 1 5 2 4 3 few old fisher- ... men.
