C           D                       C    G          D
I was in my watering-hole with some ugly friends of mine

         C                 D             C    G          D
When the door came off its hinges like a cork from fizzy wine

   Bb                              C
He said, my name is Jesus, I'm the leader of the band

He set that bandstand jumping, yeah, and he cranked it up so loud

       C               D                     C       G      D
And he moved up to the microphone, had the attention of the crowd

   Bb                               C
He said, my name is Jesus, going to turn your head around

    F                               G
I'm going to make this easy, got no time to mess around

  Bb                             C
I got no twelve disciples, and I got no cross to bear

       F                                G
If you thought they had me crucified, I guess you weren't there

He sang about three or four numbers, yeah, but we'd heard it all before

   C                 D                       C      G      D
We boys were getting restless, no girls were moving on the floor

      C                   D                        C      G   D
Those parables, they were merciless, yeah, and the tables overturned

          C             D                  C        G         D
And there were no minor miracles but false prophets they were burned

      Bb                         C
Well, maybe he was Jesus but his hair could have used a comb

       F                              G
Long before he hit the last notes, we boys had all gone home

   D          G     A       D
Oh yeah, when Jesus came to play

     G     A       D
When Jesus came to play

     G     A       Bb
When Jesus came to play

G                     D

   D
Oh Jesus, is it really you?
