Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[F]I was i[G]n my watering-hole with
with some ugly [Dm]friends of [G]mine
when he door [Dm]came off [G]its hinges
like a [F]cork from [C]fizzy [G]wine.
He [Eb]said, "My name is Jesus: I'm the
[F]leader of the band.
Got to [Bb]set up my equipment,
if you [C]boys can lend a hand."
[G]Oh yeah. When [C]Jesus [Dm]came
to [G]play.[Eb][Dm][G]
He [F]set that bandstand [G]jumping.
Yeah, and he [F]cranked [C]it up so [G]loud.
And he [F]moved up to [G]the microphone: had the
at[F]tention [C]of the crowd.[G]
He [Eb]said, "My name is Jesus: going
to [F]turn your head around.
I'm [Bb]go ing to make this easy.
Got no [C]time to mess around."
Oh [G]yeah.
When [C]Jesus [Dm]came to [G]play.
When [Eb]Jesus [Dm]came [D]to [C]play.
When Jesus came to [G]play.
[C]When Jesus [D]came to [G]play.
When [C]Jesus [Dm]came [D]to pla[Em]y.[C][G]
[Em][C][G][Em]

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][Em][C][G]

[Verse 2]
"I [Eb]got no twelve disciples,
and I [F]got no cross to bear.
If you [Bb]thought they had me crucified,
I [C]guess you weren't there."
Oh [G]yeah.
When [C]Jesus [Dm]came to [G]play.
When [Eb]Jesus [Dm]came
He sang about [F]three or four [G]numbers,
but we'd [F]heard [C]it all be[G]fore.
[Gm]We boys [F]were[G] getting restless: no
girls were [F]moving [C]on the [G]floor.
Those [F]parables,
they were [G]merciless and the [F]tables [C]over[G]turned.
And there [F]were no minor [G]miracles
but false [F]prophets [C]they were [G]burned.
Well, [Eb]maybe he was Jesus;
But his [F]hair could have used a comb.
Long be[Bb]fore he hit the last notes,
we [C]boys had all gone home.
Oh [G]yeah.
When [C]Jesus [Dm]came [D]to [G]play.
When [C]Jesus [Dm]came [D]to play.[G]
When [C]Jesus [Dm]came [Eb]to play.
[C]When Jesus came to pla[G]y.
[Gm]Oh[G][Gm][G]
[G]Je[G][G]
[G]sus,
is it [G]really you?
