V1.

D G D
Jesus was a Capricorn, he ate organic food,

E A
He believed in love and peace and never wore no shoes;

D G D
Long hair, beard and sandals and a funky bunch of friends,

A D
Reckon they just nailed him up so he'd come down again.

Chorus:

G D
Cause everybody's got to have somebody to look down on,

A G D
Those they can be better than at any time they please,

G D
Some folks doin' something dirty decent folks can frown on,

A G D
If you can't find nobody else, then help yourself to me.

V2.

D G D
Eggheads fussin,' rednecks cussin,' hippies for their hair,

E A
Others laugh at straights, who laugh at freaks, who laugh at squares;

D G D
Some folks hate the whites, who hate the blacks, who hate the Klan,

A D
Most of us hate anything that we don't understand.

(Repeat Chorus)
