Ruston Kelly – Jesus Christ chords

6th capo
G Em C D


GJesus was a man,

EmTraveled through the land

C                       DHardworking man and brave.

GHe said to the rich,

Em'Give your money to the poor'

         C          D              G                    But they laid Jesus Christ in his grave.

-----------
GJesus was a man, 

EmA carpenter by hand

C                               DHis followers were true and brave.

GBut that dirty little coward, 

EmNamed Judas Iscarot, 

    C           D               GHas laid Jesus Christ in his grave.

-----------
GHe went to the preacher, 

EmHe went to the sheriff

C                          DAnd he told them all the same

GSell all your jewelry,

EmAnd give it to the poor

      C          D               G They laid Jesus Christ in his grave.

-----------
GWhen Jesus came to town,

EmAll the working folk around

C                      DBelieved what he did say.

GBut the bankers and the preachers, 

EmThey nailed him on the cross.

      C          D               G They laid Jesus Christ in his grave.

-----------
GThe People held their breath 

Emwhen they heard about his death.

C                      DAnd everybody wondered 'Why?'

GIt was the bitter land war,

EmAnd the soldiers they hired,

     C           D             GTo nail Jesus Christ to the sky

----------
GThis song was written

Emin New York City.

C                             DA rich man, preacher, and slave.

GIf Jesus was to preach here,

EmWould he preach in Galilee?

             C           D              GOr would we lay Jesus Christ in his grave?

             C           D              GOr would we lay Jesus Christ in his grave?
