[Verse 1]
F#             A        E
As it fell out upon one day,
     F#           E
Rich Divès made a feast.
F#           A       E
He's invited all his friends,
    F#
And gentry of the best.
     A                   E        B
Then Lazarus he laid him down and down
    F#               E
and down by Divèrus' door:
      F#                       A   E
"Some meat, some drink brother Diverus,
   F#
Bestow upon the poor."
 
[Verse 2]
         A             E          B
"Thou'rt none of my brothers, Lazarus,
           F#            E
That liest begging at my door;
   F#                    A      E
No meat, no drink, shall I give thee,
    F#
Nor bestow upon the poor."
     F#                  A        E
Then Lazarus he laid him down and down,
    F#             E
and down by Divès' wall:
      F#                        A   E
"Some meat, some drink, brother Diverus,
    F#
For hunger starve I shall."
 
[Verse 3]
         A             E          B
"Thou'rt none of my brothers, Lazarus,
           F#            E
That liest begging at my wall;
   F#                   A      E
No meat, no drink, will I give thee,
        F#
and for hunger starve you shall."
     F#               A        E
Then Lazarus laid him down and down
    F#             E
and down by Dives' gate.
     F#                       A   E
Some meat, some drink brother diverus
    F#
for Jesus Christ's sake.
 
[Verse 4]
         A             E          B
"Thou'rt none of my brothers, Lazarus,
           F#            E
That liest begging at my gate;
   F#                      A    E
No meat, nor drink shall I give thee,
    F#
for Jesus Christ's sake."
     F#                 A      E
Then Divès sent out his hungry dogs,
   F#             E
To bite him as he lay;
         F#                      A        E
But they hadn't the power for to bite one bite,
         F#
But they licked his sores away.
 
[Verse 6]
     A                E     B
Then Diverus sent his hired men,
       F#                E
for to beat him where he lay;
         F#                      A          E
But They hadn't the power for to strike one stroke,
    F#
But flung their whips away.
 
[Verse 7]
   F#            A       E
As it fell out, upon one day,
     F#                   E
Poor Lazarus sickened and died;
      F#              A      E
there came two angels out of heaven,
    F#
his soul therein to guide.
 A                    E        B
"Rise up! rise up! brother Lazarus,
    F#            E
And go along with me;
F#                  A        E
There is a place prepared in heaven,
       F#
For to sit on an angel's knee."
 
[Verse 8]
   F#           A       E
As it fell out upon one day,
     F#                 E
Rich Divès sickened and died;
      F#                A      E
There came two serpents out of hell,
    F#
His soul therein to guide.
 A                    E        B
"Rise up! rise up! brother Diverus,
    F#              E
And come along with me;
      F#            A        E
There is a place prepared in hell
    F#
For wicked men like thee."
 
[Verse 9]
     A               E        B
Then Divès looked up with his eyes
    F#               E
And saw poor Lazarus blest;
         F#                         A   E
"Give me one drop of water, brother Lazarus,
   F#
To quench my flaming thirst."
