Chords

This was my first time transcribing a song, so if it’s a little rough then I dearly apologize. I really do quite love this song, and I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I do. Much love. [Intro] E A E E A E [Verse 1]
E A E
Crucify me

E            A       E
Well hang my halo on the rack

E           A      E
Well cut me up and deny me

B              A         E
Oh fellas, I’m not comin’ back
[Verse 2]
E            A                E
Well I don’t need those human lies

E                        A           E
Hey look, ma, there’s no tears in my eyes

E  A                     E
Oh boy, I’ve patched you up

       B         A            E
Oh, my dear, yes I have loved and loved
[Chorus]
             A             E
Well take me up and set me down

               A                              E
There ain’t no big life for a small Bethlehem town

        A                 G#m  C#m     A
Tell me why oh why must we all sit and cry

       B        A        E
To the big sleep here we come
(Oh, one, two, three, four) [Verse 3]
E      A       E
Fry me up for dinner

E              A                 E
Well fill your vineyards with my veins

E               A            E
There’s nothing worse than a wasteful person

E                  A           E
Why the bible says it just the same
[Verse 4]
E            A          E
And ain’t it such a way to go

E               A              E
C’mon boys let’s all catch the show

E         A             E
Oh my God, come pick me up

B                     A         E
We ain’t got time for eternity above
[Chorus]
             A             E
Well take me up and set me down

               A                              E
There ain’t no big life for a small Bethlehem town

        A                 G#m  C#m     A
Tell me why oh why must we all sit and cry

       B        A        E
To the big sleep here we come
[Interlude] E A E E A E B A E A G#m C#m A E A E E A E [Verse 5]
E   A          E
Oh mama you’re a wreck

E              A                E
Lean down and kiss me mama, I’m hangin’ ‘round your neck

E             A
Listen, mama, listen

           G#m C#m A
To what the angels sing

From the big sleep, here he comes

A
Take my halo off the shelf and sew my up mama

A
Cause I’m coming back
[Outro]

               A                              E
There ain’t no big life for a small Bethlehem town

        A                  G#m C#m     A
Tell me why oh why must we all sit and cry

To the big sleep here we come
