Hello Saferide - I Was Jesus (2014) Chords 9/2-2015 by Jon Malmin ([email protected]) Tuning: Standard E
It was difficult to put the chords over the lyrics in a truly satisfying way, since some of the lines are so long and rapidly sung. I chose to put the lines together in a way that best conveys the song's message, in my opinion. Listen to the song if you're unsure how it goes!
[Intro] DDDD DEmBmGDD DEmBmGDD
[Verse 1] DEmBmGD It was the second day of spring and sunbeams made love to windows in all the houses DEmBmGD And I was Jesus and I decided to come down to earth in the shape of a woman this time DEmGD And I was Jesus, and I went into the sea, and I took two fishes, and I turned them to millions ADEmG ...And I took five loaves of bread, and fed a country with them, and I said: "Do you believe me now?" DA "Sorry", they said, "We focused on your wet white clothes as you bent over to pick up the fishes!" DEmBmGD And I was bitter for a while, but then decided to go at it again
[Interlude] DEmBmGD Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah
[Verse 2] DEmG And I was Ghandi and I went back to earth in the shape of a woman this time DADEmGD .....And the river Ganges it cleared my vision and I, well, I guess I was a woman again DAGBm .....And I started my quiet, friendly revolution and they said: "Oh, a quiet friendly woman, super rare" GBm And I tried to convince them "it's not a personality, it's choice and a belief" G And "would you give me credit for it and please follow me" BmG And they said: "Speak louder, we can't hear you when we're screaming A you look nice now that you don't eat"
[Verse 3] DEmG And I was Martin Luther King and I came back to earth in the shape of a woman this time DA And I was both black and a woman so I had two fights to fight so I was burned out and well, that was it
[Verse 4] DEmGD And I was Jesus and I went up to heaven Easter Sunday and I said: "I'm never going back to earth" ADEmBmGD ...And Mother said: "oh Jesus up 'til now, you've been paying for Adam's sins DEmBm Soon is when the fun begins" DEmBmGD And then, she gave me a date for when this would occur
