Verse (Jesus)1:
               CWhen You feel sad or under a curse,
              D7Your life is bad,

Your prospects are worse,
               G7Your wife is sigh-ing, cry-ing, 

And your olive tree is dying.
C                        B7Temples are greying and teeth are decaying
     D7                      G7And creditors weighing your purse!

Verse 2 (Jesus):
                    CYour mood and your robe are both a deep blue.
             D7You bet that Job had nothing on you.
                   F      F#dim   C                Ab7Don't forget that when you go to Heaven you'll be blessed,
D7         G7         CYes, it's all for the best.

Verse 1 (second vocalist):
              CSome men are born to live at ease,

Doing what they please, 

Richer than the bees are in honey,
D7Never growing old, never feeling cold,

Pulling pots of gold from the air.
     G7The best in ev'ry town,

Best at shaking down, best at making mountains of money,
(slow)C               B7They can't take it with them, 
     D7But what do they care?
(speed up)     C
They get the center of the meat, 
Cushions on their seat,
Houses on a street where it's sunny.
D7                 Summers at sea, winters warm and free,
            Dm7All of this we get the rest, but,
F            F#dimWho is the land for, 
     C             Ab7The sun and the sand for?
       D7         G7          CYou guessed it's all for the best.

*note*  Repeat this with both vocalists, end with:
D7        G7            C                 A7Yes, it's all for the (You must never be distressed)
                      (All your wrongs will be distressed)
D7         G7          C C7 Ab7 CYes, it's all for the best!
