[D]Jesus Christ was
a man that [G]traveled through the [D]land
Hard working man and [Asus4]brave

So they [A]laid Jesus [Asus4]Christ in His gr[D]ave
Yes, [G]Je sus was a man,
a [D]carpenter by hand
His followers true and [Asus4]brave
[D]One dirty coward called
[G]Judas Iscari[D]ot
Laid poor [A]Jesus in His [D]grave

[Verse 2]
He went to the preacher, [G]He
went to the [D]sheriff

His followers true and brave
One dirty coward called Judas Iscariot
