Hello Saferide - I Was Jesus (2014)
Chords 9/2-2015 by Jon Malmin (jogusmal@hotmail.com)
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]
D D D D
D Em Bm G D D
D Em Bm G D D
[Verse 1]
D Em Bm G D
It was the second day of spring and sunbeams made love to windows in all the houses
D Em Bm G D
And I was Jesus and I decided to come down to earth in the shape of a woman this time
D Em G D
And I was Jesus, and I went into the sea, and I took two fishes, and I turned them to millions
A D Em G
...And I took five loaves of bread, and fed a country with them, and I said: "Do you believe me now?"
D A
"Sorry", they said, "We focused on your wet white clothes as you bent over to pick up the fishes!"
D Em Bm G D
And I was bitter for a while, but then decided to go at it again
[Interlude]
D Em Bm G D
Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah
[Verse 2]
D Em G
And I was Ghandi and I went back to earth in the shape of a woman this time
D A D Em G D
.....And the river Ganges it cleared my vision and I, well, I guess I was a woman again
D A G Bm
.....And I started my quiet, friendly revolution and they said: "Oh, a quiet friendly woman, super rare"
G Bm
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"
Bm G
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]
D Em G
And I was Martin Luther King and I came back to earth in the shape of a woman this time
D A
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]
D Em G D
And I was Jesus and I went up to heaven Easter Sunday and I said: "I'm never going back to earth"
A D Em Bm G D
...And Mother said: "oh Jesus up 'til now, you've been paying for Adam's sins
D Em Bm
Soon is when the fun begins"
D Em Bm G D
And then, she gave me a date for when this would occur
[Outro]
D Em Bm G D
Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah
D Em Bm G D
Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah
