Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
        Em       D            B             Em
See the sorrow untold, as you look down the road
       C         B             Em
At the clamoring crowd drawing near
         Em          D           B             Cmaj7
Feel the heat of the day, as you look down the way
         Em        B7          Em
Hear the shouts of Hosanna the King

Chorus 1:
    Am                    G
Oh, daughter of Zion your time's drawing near
         D            B             Em   E7
Don't forsake Him, oh don't pass it by
       Am                      G
On the foal of a donkey as the prophets had said
        D          B7          Em
Passing by you, He rides on to die

Verse 2:
     Em         D                   B        Em
Come now little foal, though you're not very old
         C         B            Em
Come and bear your first burden bravely
        Em       D          B             Em
Walk so softly upon all the coats and the palms
         C           B          Em
Bear the One on your back oh so gently
          Em          D            B          Em
Midst the shouting so loud and the joy of the crowd
         C          B         Em
There is One who is riding in silence
       Em             D            B          Cmaj7
For He knows the ones here will be fleeing in fear
           Em          B     Em
When their shepherd is taken away

Verse 3:
         Em           D           B             Em
Soon the thorn cursed ground will bring forth a crown
         C          B          Em
And this Jesus will seem to be beaten
          Em      D              B              Cmaj7
But He'll conquer alone both the shroud and the stone
        Em         B           Em
And the prophesies will be completed

Chorus 2:
    Am                    G
Oh, daughter of Zion your time's drawing near
         D            B             Em   E7
Don't forsake Him, oh don't pass it by
       Am                      G
On the foal of a donkey as the prophets had said
        D          B7          Em
Passing by you, He rides on to die
       Am                      G
On the foal of a donkey as the prophets had said
        D          B7          Em
Passing by you, He rides on to die
