Intro: G 


God of the poor man, this is how the day began 
D                              G          Am 
Eight co-defendants, I, Daniel Berrigan 
        F               C                Am 
Oh, and only a layman's batch of Napalm 
              F               
We pulled the draft files out 
   Dm                 G 
We burned them in the parking lot 
F                         C                   Em 
Better the files than the bodies of children 


Chorus: 
         C                  Am          D    G 
I had no right, but for the love of you 
         C                  Am          D     
I had no right, but for the love of you 


G 
Many roads led here, walked with the suffering 
D                                G   Am 
Tom in Guatemala, Phillip in New Orleans 
           F              C                Am 
Oh, it's a long road from law to justice 
          F 
I went to Vietnam  
  Dm                   G 
I went for peace, they dropped their bombs 
F                         C                  Em 
Right where my government knew I would be 


Chorus: 
         C                  Am          D    G 
I had no right, but for the love of you 
         C                  Am          D       Am 
I had no right, but for the love of you 


Bridge: 
           F             Am 
And all my country saw 
                 F 
Were priests who broke the law 


G 
First it was a question, then it was a mission 
D                               G      Am 
How to be American, how to be a Christian 
           F                          C                Em 
Oh, if the law is their cross and the cross is burning 


Chorus: 
            C               Am          D    G 
Hey hey hey hey he hey, the love of you___ 
            C               Am          D     
Hey hey hey hey he hey, the love of you___ 


G 
God of the just, I'll never win a peace prize 
D                               G    Am 
Falling like Jesus, now let the jury rise 
         F                C               Am 
Oh, it's all of us versus all that paper 
     F                      Dm              G 
They took the only way they know, who is on trial today 
  F                  C              Em 
Deliver us unto each other, I pray 


Chorus: 
         C                  Am          D    G 
I had no right, but for the love of you___ 
          C                Am            D    
And every trial I stood, I stood for you___ 

G
