Intro: D   C  G  A7

Verse 1:
D 	  	                   C
He came to town on an old freight train
G 	                D
Jumped off in the pouring rain
D 	             C
Everybody said he’s insane
G 	                A7
Just a low down, no account hobo
D 	                       C
He made his bed beneath the county bridge
G 	                 D
City folks said hey that’s not his
D 	  	                           C
They signed a petition they’re gonna get rid
G 	  	  	               A7
Of that low down no account white trash

Chorus:
G             C 	  	        G 	  	         D
What if Jesus comes back like that on an old freight train 
     A     D
in a hobo hat
G 	            C 	  	       G
Will we let him in or turn our backs
D            C 	  	         D
What if Jesus comes back like that
DC 	    G 	     D 	    D  C  G  A7
Oh what if Jesus comes back like that

Verse 2:
D 	                C
She was born into drug abuse
G 	                      D
She couldn’t help what her momma used
D 	                 C
It wasn’t like she got to choose
G 	  	              A7
Now she’s laying there all alone
D 	  	           C
Got a monkey on her back
G 	  	  	                      D
The nurses say they never saw a smile like that

D 	  	                  C
Doctors say she might stand a chance
    G 	               A7
If somebody takes her home

Repeat Chorus    D  C  G  A7  D  C

Bridge:
A
Nobody said life is fair
Em 	  	             C
We’ve all got a cross to bear
Em 	                   D
When it gets a little hard to care 
    G 	  	  	              A
Just think about him hanging there

Verse 3:
D 	  	                 C
He came to town on a cold, dark night
G 	               D
A single star his only light
D 	              C
A bay born that silent night
  G 	             A7 	 
A manger for his bed

What if Jesus comes back like that
D 	               A 	         D
Where will he find our hearts are at
G 	  	    C 	  	       G
Will we let him in or turn our backs
G 	           C 	        G
What if Jesus comes back like that
D 	                   A 	  	         D
Will he cry when he sees where are hearts are at
G 	           C 	  	       G
Will he let us in or turn his back
D                 C 	         D
