Lyrics & chords
[Verse 1] [D]Jesus Christ was a man Who [G]traveled through the land [D]A hard working man and[A] brave [D]He said to the rich, "Give your goods [G]to [D]the poor." But they laid Jesus [A]Christ in his [D]grave. [Verse 2] [D]Jesus [G]was a man, a car[D]penter by hand His followers true [A]and brave One [D]dirty little coward called [G]Judas [D]Iscariot Has laid Jesus [A]Christ in his [D]grave [Verse 3] He [D]went to the preacher, He went [G]to the sher[D]iff, Told them all [A]the same; Sell [D]all of your jewelry And [G]give it to [D]the Poor, But they laid Jesus [A]Christ in his [D]grave. [Verse 4] When [D]Jesus [G]came to town, All the [D]working folks around, Believed what he [A]did say; [D]The bankers and the preachers They nailed him [G]on [D]a cross, [A]And they [D]laid Jesus [A]Christ in his [D]grave. [Verse 5] [D]The poor working people, They followed [G]him [D]around, They sung and [A]shouted [D]gay; Cops and the soldiers, They [G]nailed him in the [D]air, And they laid [A]Jesus Christ in his [D]grave. [Verse 6] Well [D]the people [G]held their breath When they [D]heard about his death, And everybody wondered [A]why; It [D]was the landlord And the sol[G]diers that he [D]hired. That nailed Jesus [A]Christ in the sky. [Interlude 1] [D][G] [D][A][D] [G][D][A][D] [Verse 7] [D]This song was written in [G]New York [D]City Of rich men, preachers and [A]slaves But if Je[D]sus was to preach Like [G]he preached [D]in Galillee, They would lay Jesus [A]Christ in his [D]grave. [Outro 1] [G][D][A] [D][G][D][A][D]
