Rick Springfield – Jesus Was An Atheist (Guitar)

A
Jesus was an Atheist he was a friend of mine

A
We hooked up in temple back in Roman Palestine

D
We became friends it was the best of both worlds

      A
I was good at stealing silver he was good at bullyin' girls

   E
He said they're going to kill me when we go out smokin'

  A
I thought he meant the cigarettes

    E                   A E
But Jesus wasn't jokin'

A
Mary was a pragmatist and virgin rolled in one

    A
One day she said to Joseph Joe, I think the time has come

     A
Your boy needs to get a job try the laundromat"

A
Joseph said, "he ain't my boy  think we settled that"

E
Mary said something about semantics with a smile

    A
Joe said, "I'm going drinkin'

        E                A       E
I'll be back in a little while"

A
I heard somebody say esus was a Capricorn

A
Jesus told me once on the day he was born

  D
A giant super nova exploded in the sky

   A
He said he didn't know what it was supposed to signify

E
I lost touch with him and he lost touch with me

    A
The next thing I remember

       E         A    E
He was big in Galilee

A
We were walkin' in the desert trading big hits from a bong

     A
They said it was 40 days it didn't seem that long

      D
I was trying to talk him out of such a pointless sacrifice

   A
He said it was the only way he got to paradise

  E
I said, "You might be high" he said I was mistaken

    A
But watching him die

    E                   A E
Was truly heartbreakin'

A
Jesus descended I guess you'd call it that

A
I'm down here, baby what the hell you lookin' at?

  D
I sometimes wonder if we'd stay friends

A
How am I to change the way this party ends?

  E
I know you all believe that Jesus was divine

A
Jesus was an atheist

   E
He was a friend of mine
