[E]
The young men up [A] on the [E] hillside teaching [B] new ways.
[F#m] Each word when named [C#m] them over, [A] each heart [G#m] a candle [C#m] flame.
[E] Old men watched from the outside, guarding [B] their prey.
[F#m] Threatened by the voice [C#m] of the [A] Farragon, feeding [B] their lambs [C#m] away, [A] feeding [G#m] their fallen [C#m] way.
Nobody [A] knew his secret [G#m] ambition, [A] nobody knew [B] whose claim [F#] he'd claim.
[C#m] He broke the old rule, deeped [G#m] in tradition, [A] he turned the money [B] veil [C#m] away.
[A] Questioning those in powerful [G#m] position, [A] running to those [B] who called [E] his name.
[A] But nobody knew his secret [G#m] ambition, [A] who'd give [B] his life [A] away.

[C#m] [B]
[E] [B]
[C#m] [E]
His rage shaking [A] the temple, [E]
his word to the [B] wise.
[F#m]
His hand healing [C#m] on the Sunday, [A]
his love wearing [G#m] no [C#m] disguise.
[E] Some say death to [A] the radical, [E]
he's way out [B] of line.
[F#m]
Some say freedom's [C#m] a miracle, [A]
God sends [G#m] a blessed [C#m] sign, [A] a blessed sign for troubled [C#m] times.
Nobody [A] knew his secret ambition, [A] nobody [B] knew whose claim [E] he'd claim.
[C#m] He broke the old rule, deeped in [A] tradition, he turned the money veil [C#m] away.
[A] Questioning those in powerful [G#m] position, [A] running to those who called [E] his name.
[A] But nobody knew his secret [G#m] ambition, [A] who'd give his life away.
