My brother's got a black an' white picture 
      G                  D      F  G 
With numbers 'cross his chest 
             D                      C        G            D      F  G 
An' he'll do 15 more years if his behavior stays at it's best 
              D        
He took the blame to save his best friends name 
        C                G                   D  F G 
  In a job that went bad  down in Birmingham 
          C                                       G                                  D    C  G 
Yeah, but he don't mind that orange suit cause he knows that clothes don't make the man 


D                             C       G        D     F  G 
Two cells down from where my brother lays his head 
               D                                 C            G        D      F  G 
The walls that go Amazing Grace an' quotes of scriptures that man once read 
        D                               C                   G              D     F  G  
When he prayed upon the little souls of all those boys that did not understand 
            F                                     Am7 
But you can wear a robe that's laced with gold 
                               D     F  G 
But The Clothes Don't Make The Man 


  D   
Designer names 
  G 
Rips and stains 
           F       Am7    D 
Shouldn't tell you who I am 
       D                G 
Cause sometimes angels hide their wings 
         F      Am7             D 
An' the Devil's dressed like a lamb 
           F            Am7      D         F  Am7 D    F Am7

They all laughed an called him names when he said that he was sent to be their king 
           D 
You don't even own a home 
                    C            G             D    F  G 
You've got simple clothes an' sandals on your feet 
         D 
Stripped of his pride 
         D 
He was crucified 
      C                   G             D      F  G 
On a cross with nails of hatred in his hands 
       F                               Am7 
But he rose from the grave in 3 days 
                                 D           F  G 
Yeah, The Clothes Don't Make The Man
