MARKETPLACE

[INTRO]
Cm Cm Gm Gm Cm Cm

[INTERLUDE]
Cm Cm Gm Gm Cm Cm
Day-dadada, Dadaday
Cm Cm Eb Eb
Day-dadada, Dadaday
Fm Fm G7 G7 Cm Cm
Day-dadada, Dadaday

[VERSE]
Cm Cm
The words of the prophet
Fm Fm Cm Cm
were simple and plain
Cm Cm
And yet to the learned,
Fm Fm G7 G7
he sounded insane.
Fm Fm
He asked for repentance
Cm Cm
to all who have sinned
Fm Fm
Not a reed simply swayed
G7 G7
by the wind

[VERSE]
Cm Cm
And when the Messiah's
Fm Fm Cm Cm
turn came to pass,
Cm Cm
The Savior was cursed
Fm Fm G7 G7
by the same petty class.
Fm Fm
They said John had a demon,
G7 G7
he tasted no wine.
Fm Fm
And Christ was a glutton,
G7 G7 Cm Cm
with drunkards he dined.

[INTERLUDE]
Cm Cm Gm Gm Cm Cm C7 C7
Day-dadada, Dadaday

[BRIDGE 1]
Fm Fm
Their lines were not cute
Fm Fm C7 C7
nor their gestures or voice
Fm Fm
They played with the flute
C7 C7
but the crowd won't rejoice
Bbm Bbm
The watchmen had sounded
Fm Fm
their trumpets to warn
Bbm Bbm
They chanted a dirge
C7 C7 Fm Fm G7 G7
but the people didn't mourn.

[INTERLUDE]
Cm Cm Gm Gm Cm Cm
Day-dadada, Dadaday
Cm Cm Eb Eb
Day-dadada, Dadaday
Fm Fm G7 G7 Cm Cm
Day-dadada, Dadaday

[VERSE]
Cm Cm
In Jesus's tradition
Fm Fm Cm Cm
His followers preached,
Cm Cm
The world's destitution,
Fm Fm G7 G7
They touched and they reached.
Fm Fm
But two thousand years
Cm Cm
never changed it a bit
Fm Fm
The old and the same
G7 G7
marketplace.

[VERSE]
Cm Cm
We're looking for miracles,
Fm Fm Cm Cm
wonders and signs
Cm Cm
For a marvelous spectacle,
Fm Fm G7 G7
we fall in line.
Fm Fm
For silver and gold
Cm Cm
and fine raiment and fame
Fm Fm
As though they were a prize
G7 G7 Cm Cm
in a spiritual game.

[INTERLUDE]
Cm Cm Gm Gm Cm Cm C7 C7
Day-dadada, Dadaday

[CHORUS 2]
Fm Fm
We're deaf and we're mute
Fm Fm C7 C7
and we gave them no chance
Fm Fm
They fiddled the flute
C7 C7
but then nobody danced
Bbm Bbm
They're true to their words
Fm Fm
and their pledges they kept
Bbm Bbm
They sang in a dirge
C7 C7 Fm Fm G7 G7
but nobody wept.

[INTERLUDE]
Cm Cm Gm Gm Cm Cm
Day-dadada, Dadaday
Cm Cm Eb Eb
Day-dadada, Dadaday
Fm Fm G7 G7 Cm Cm
