Hey everybody.
Great song that appeared at the end of Michael Moore's 'Captalism: A Love Story'
Enjoy!
[Verse 1]
F Jesus Christ was a man that travelled through the land C A carpenter true and brave F C F He said to the rich give your goods to the poor C F And they laid Jesus Christ in the grave
[Verse 2]
F Bb F He went to the sick and he went to the poor C And he went to the hungry and the lame F Bb F And he said that the meek would inherit the whole world C F And they laid Jesus Christ in the grave
[Verse 3]
F Bb F One day Jesus stopped at a rich man’s door C What must I do to be saved F Bb F Take all you own and give it to the poor C F And they laid Jesus Christ in the grave
[Verse 4]
F Bb F When the love of the poor shall one day turn to hate C When the patience of the workers give away F Bb F Would be better for the rich if they never been born C F So they laid Jesus Christ in the grave
[Verse 5]
F Bb F When Jesus came to town all the working folks around C Believed what he did say F Bb F But bankers and preachers nailed him to the cross C F And they laid Jesus Christ in the grave
[Verse 6]
F Bb F Well the people held their breath when they heard about his death C And everybody wondered why F Bb F Was the landlord and soldiers lawmen there had hired C F That nailed Jesus Christ in the sky
[Outro]
F Bb F We would lay Jesus Christ in the grave Lord Lord C We would lay Jesus Christ in the grave F Bb F And if Jesus preached today like he preached in Galilee C F We would lay Jesus Christ in his grave
