Boys from the street, slum childs come in here together

Boots wrapped in rope and wire, and black hands in cold leather

Men in the aisles, closed eyes and gold dust on their fingers

They say Elijah was carried off, caught up in a chariot made of flame
E7sus4                                                            Dsus4
So we too will ride in cars that shine, If you name it, it’s yours to claim

Chorus:
C                   Em     C                  Em
But I am not one of them. No, I am not one of them
C                       Em    C                   Em
But they all know me by name. They all know me by name

Girls from the corner, coming from the Corinthian Quarters, That’s my place on Jackson

The Preacher and the Politician, the Working Man They come looking to me, they come asking

He’ll ask me why I’ve done the things I’ve done, And I’ll tell Him you made the mouths I feed

And I’ll say, I am not one of them
C               Am
I am not one of them
C               Am
I am not one of them
Em               G
I am not one of them
Am                       C
No,I am not one of them, But He’ll turn to me and say,
C                       Em
Oh, I don’t know you by name!
C                       Em
No, I don’t know you by name!

Em
And I’ll think to myself,
You never did make known to me Your ways
