[Verse 1]
[Dm]Jesus lived in a ramshackle shack
With a fat New Orleans junkie
Charismatic solo lonesome
some say

[Verse 2]
He was born plain lucky
[Dm]Cruise the streets of Juarez
In his low-cut El El Dorado
Divine command and oil slick hands
With brash and bold [F]bravado[G]

[Verse 3]
Mother [G]Mary said, "Your time has [F]come
[G]For the river's wide but can
be fought and [F]won"[G]
For the very love of God and [F]Man[G]
Jesus crossed the [D]Rio [Dm]Grande
[G][D][Dm][D][Dm]

[Verse 4]
[Dm]
Look at here,
Jesus fell [D]in step with a group
Of high-[Dm]powered federals
federals
Sat them down and formed their plan
Through a haze of cold Tecates

[Verse 5]
Judas said, "Now, Jeez, I know [Dm]You're prone
to walk on water
If you swim downstream there's
a better chance
That you'll make it across the border,
[F]yeah"[G]

[Verse 6]
Mother [G]Mary said, "Your time has [F]come
[G]For the river's wide but can
be fought and [F]won"[G]
For the very love of God and [F]Man[G]
Jesus crossed the [Dm]Rio [G]Grande[Dm]

[Verse 7]
[Dm]Jesus made his run on a hot
And humid Friday night
But his vision, it was blinded
By the bright El Paso lights

[Verse 8]
He [Dm]never saw the shot
That left him short of freedom's land
But the faithful they're still waiting
For the coming of their man

[Verse 9]
[F]Well, [G]Mother Mary said,
"Your time has [F]come[G]
For the river's wide but
can be fought and won"
[F]For[G] the very love of God and Man[F][G]
Jesus crossed the [Dm]Rio Grande
