Bruce Springsteen – Jesus Was An Only Son (Guitar)

  D          G         D 
Well Jesus was an only son        

                         G
As he walked up Calvary Hill 

D                        G      D
His mother Mary walking beside him          

                      A        D     
In the path where his blood spilled        

  D         G      D 
Jesus was an only son 

                      G
In the hills of Nazareth 

D                     G          D
As he lay reading the Psalms of David

              A        D     
Held at his mother's feet 

  D                               G             D 
His mother prayed sleep tight, my child, sleep well 

                     G
For I'll be at your side 

D                           G           D
Let no shadow, no darkness, no tolling bell 

                    A          D     
Shall pierce your dreams this night 

  D             G        D 
In the garden at Gethsemane 

                                  G
He prayed for the life he'd never live 

D                 G          D
He beseeched his heavenly Father 

                            A        D     
To remove the cup of death from his lips 

  D                         G        D 
Now there's a loss that can never be replaced 

                                    G
A destination that can never be reached 

D                             G         D
A light you'll never find in a mother's face 

                         A           D     
The sea whose distance cannot be breached 

                      G         D 
Well, Jesus kissed his mother's hands 

                                        G
And whispered, mother please still your tears 

D                            G  
For remember the soul of the universe 

         D         A      D     
Willed a world and it appeared.
