[Intro]
A A A A
[Verse 1]
A A A A
I was on my way to somewhere to the Mexicali sand
F#m D A A
A man sat down beside me, he had scars upon his hands
A A A A
He told me some stories - I told him some lies
F#m D A A
Light shone through my darkness, cast shadows from my mind
C#m C#m D A
His eyes they looked right through me, oh I knew he carried weight
C#m C#m E E
Something real was going down that day
[Chorus]
D A E F#m D A E F#m
Oh I told him I'm a sinner, he said that's o.k.
D A E F#m G G
I'm not here to change you any-way, he was gone when I turned around
D D A A A A
Was that Jesus - Jesus on a Greyhound
[Verse 2]
A A A A
We talked about the world gone bad, the troubles we had seen
F#m D A A
We talked about the dirt brown shoes he wore on his feet
A A A A
He said I'm tired and weary, I've been riding a long way
F#m D A A
Let me rest my eyes for now, let me drift away
C#m C#m D A
He acted like he knew me, then he fell asleep
C#m C#m E E
I had no more secrets I could keep
[Chorus]
D A E F#m D A E F#m
Oh I told him I'm a sinner, he said that's o.k.
D A E F#m G G
I'm not here to change you any-way, he was gone when I turned around
D D A A A A
Was that Jesus - Jesus on a Greyhound
[Bridge]
B B
Somewhere in the sunlit mornin' I stepped off the bus in the
D D
middle of the city of angels
B B
And that long haired hippie was up and gone where devils run and
D D
play and lust lookin for the danger
B B
Oh and I looked at my feet and saw the shoes that he had worn and
D D
Thank God for that beautiful stranger
E E E E
Was that Jesus, was that Jesus, was that Jeeee - sus
[Chorus]
D A E F#m D A E F#m
Oh I told him I'm a sinner, he said that's o.k.
D A E F#m G G
I'm not here to change you any-way, he was gone when I turned around
D D A A A A
Was that Jesus - Jesus on a Greyhound
[Outro]
A A A A
And I'll rise, I'll rise again,
F#m D A A
ain't no power on earth can keep me down
A A A A
And I'll rise, I'll rise again,
F#m D A A
There ain't no death can keep me in the ground
A A A A
Was that Jesus
F#m D A A
On a greyhound
