He Wasn't Like Us chords by Jeff Bates


Jeff Bates Chords

He Wasn't Like Us
Written by Jeff Bates, Ben Hayslip & Brandon Kinney
Recorded by Jeff Bates

Intro.:  (G) x 4 bars

We didn't (G)know for sure, but everybody said
(C)That ol' boy ain't right in the head, he's a (G)little slow
We'd hide in the bushes not making a sound
When (C)he'd walk by we'd push him down on that (G)dirt road

(Em) I was just as (Bm)guilty as my (C)friends
(Em) We had a lot of (Bm)laughs at his ex-(C)pense

(Chorus)
He wasn't like (G)us, he wasn't (C)cool
He'd just (Em)smile even (D)while we were being (C)cruel
He stood (G)out, he didn't fit (C)in
But we kept (Em)throwing the stones, no, we (D)didn't let up on (C)him
He never (Em)said a mean word, no, he (D)never even made a (C)fuss
He wasn't like (G)us

Later (G)on he made a name in our town, for (C)hanging out
And running around with the (G)rough crowd (C)
They were (G)boozers and losers and low class broads
But he (C)saw good in 'em nobody else saw and he (G)brought it out (C)

Then the (Em)rumors started flyin' that (Bm)he was some kind of (C)holy man
But (Em)we set him straight and (Bm)told him to his face, he was a (C)crazy man

(Chorus)
He wasn't like (G)us, he wasn't (C)cool
He'd just (Em)smile even (D)while we were being (C)cruel
He stood (G)out, he didn't fit (C)in
But we kept (Em)throwing the stones, no, we (D)didn't let up on (C)him
He never (Em)said a mean word, no, he (D)never even made a (C)fuss
He wasn't like (G)us

Well, I re-(Am)member the day he got in (Bm)trouble with the (C)law
They (Em)cussed him and kicked him and (D)mocked him and whipped him
And they (C)nailed him to the cross

(Tag)
He wasn't like (G)us, he didn't fit (C)in
And I fell (Em)down on my (D)knees and wept (C) for him
He never (Em)said a mean word, no, he (D)never even made a (C)fuss
He never (Em)did nothing wrong, (D)all he ever did was (C)love
He wasn't like (G)us, he wasn't like us -----
