Verse
G
We didn't know for sure, but everybody said
C G
That ol' boy ain't right in the head, he's a little slow
We'd hide in the bushes not making a sound
C G
When he'd walk by we'd push him down on that dirt road
Em Bm C
I was just as guilty as my friends
Em Bm C
We had a lot of laughs at his ex- pense
G C
He wasn't like us, he wasn't cool
Em D C
He'd just smile even while we were being cruel
G C
He stood out, he didn't fit in
Em D C
But we kept throwing the stones, no, we didn't let up on him
Em D C
He never said a mean word, no, he never even made a fuss
G
He wasn't like us 
Verse
G C
Later on he made a name in our town, for hanging out
G C
And running around with the rough crowd
G
They were boozers and losers and low class broads
C G C
But he saw good in 'em nobody else saw and he brought it out
Em Bm C
Then the rumors started flyin' that he was some kind of holy man
Em Bm C
But we set him straight and told him to his face, he was a crazy man
G C
He wasn't like us, he wasn't cool
Em D C
He'd just smile even while we were being cruel
G C
He stood out, he didn't fit in
Em D C
But we kept throwing the stones, no, we didn't let up on him
Em D C
He never said a mean word, no, he never even made a fuss
G
He wasn't like us
Bridge
Am Bm C
Well, I re- member the day he got in trouble with the law
Em D
They cussed him and kicked him and mocked him and whipped him
C
And they nailed him to the cross
Tag
G C
He wasn't like us, he didn't fit in
Em D C
And I fell down on my knees and wept for him
Em D C
He never said a mean word, no, he never even made a fuss
Em D C
He never did nothing wrong, all he ever did was love
G
He wasn't like us, he wasn't like us -----
