Secret Ambition

• E

E            E4 
Young man, up on the hillside 
E            E4 
Teaching new ways 
F#m 
Each word, winning them over 
A2          B4         C#m 
Each heart a kindled flame 

E          E4 
Old men, watch from the outside 
E              E4 
Guarding their prey 
F#m 
Threated by the voice of a paragon 
A2            B4     C#m 
Leading their lambs away 
A2            B4   C#m 
Leading them far away 

C#m    A2       B4 
Nobody knew his secret ambition 
E      A2        B4     F#m 
Nobody knew his claim to fame 
C#m           A2       B4 
He broke the old rules steeped in tradition 
E    A2          B4    F#m 
He tore the holy veil away 
C#m           A2       B4 
Questioning those in powerful positions 
E          A2          B4       F#m 
Running to those who called his name 
C#m         A2       B4 
But nobody knew his secret ambition 
E      A2       B4   C#m    B4  E  B4 C#m 
Was to give his life away 


E          E4             
His rage, shaking the temple 
E           E4 
His word to the wise 
F#m 
His hand, healing on the seventh day 
A2        B4        C#m 
His love wearing no disguise 

E                     E4 
Some say, death to the radical 
E             E4 
He's way out of line 
F#m 
Some say, praised be the miracle 
A2          B4      C#m 
God sends a blessed sign 
A2         B4        C#m 
A blessed sign for troubled times 

C#m    A2       B4 
Nobody knew his secret ambition 
E      A2        B4     F#m 
Nobody knew his claim to fame 
C#m           A2       B4 
He broke the old rules steeped in tradition 
E    A2          B4    F#m 
He tore the holy veil away 
C#m           A2       B4 
Questioning those in powerful positions 
E          A2          B4       F#m 
Running to those who called his name 
C#m         A2       B4 
But nobody knew his secret ambition 
E      A2       B4   C#m    B4  E  B4 C#m 
Was to give his life away 


B4  E  B4 C#m       B4  E  B4 C#m 
Ohh...              oh... oh... 

C#m    A2       B4 
Nobody knew his secret ambition 
E      A2        B4     F#m 
Nobody knew his claim to fame 
C#m           A2       B4 
He broke the old rules steeped in tradition 
E    A2          B4    F#m 
He tore the holy veil away 
C#m           A2       B4 
Questioning those in powerful positions 
E          A2          B4       F#m 
Running to those who called his name 
C#m         A2       B4 
But nobody knew his secret ambition 
E      A2       B4   C#m    B4  E  B4 C#m 
Was to give his life away 


Oooohh... 
E E4   E E4 
No no, no no 
E             E4 
I tell you nobody knew 
E             E4 
Until he gave his life away 
         B4  E  B4 C#m 
No! 



B4  E  B4 C#m
