Brays

 
Em                           Am 
None is more proud than the stallion 
Em                            
None is more feared than the lion 
Em                          Am 
None is more free than the eagle 
Em                           
But who is more blessed than I am 
 

 
Em                               Am 
I was never what you could call noble 
Em                  
Beauty and grace I lack 
Em                   Am 
Only a poor beast of burden 
Em                              B7 
But once I bore a King upon my back 
 

 
Am                Em 
Blest am I of all creatures 
Am                 
Blest am I of all beasts 
Am                   Em 
I heard the cries of Hosanna 
Am                          B7     single notes  C  A  A G F# E 
Palm leaves were laid at my feet 
 

 
Em                         Am 
Tethered to a tree at the crossroads 
Em                           
When two men appeared at my side 
Em                        Am 
They led me away to their master 
Em                        
And upon my back He did ride 
 

 
Am                     Em 
We entered the city in triumph 
Em                             
Every man's heart filled with joy 
Am                         Em 
I raised my ears at their shouting 
Am                       B7        single notes  C  A  A G F# E 
And added my own humble voice 
 

 
Em                                   Am 
Before you would taunt me with your laughter 
Em                      
A favor of you I would ask 
Em                             Am 
Remember the King that I once carried 
Em                    B7 
And let your mockery pass 
 

 
Am                 Em 
Blest am I of all creatures 
Am                  
Blest am I of all beasts 
Am                 Em 
I heard the cries of Hosanna 
Am                          B7 
Palm leaves were laid at my feet    single notes B C B A B A G F# E 
 

 
Em                          Am 
None is more proud than the stallion 
Em                            
None is more feared than the lion 
Em                         Am 
None is more free than the eagle 
Em                           
But who is more blessed than I am
