Jesus the Mexican Boy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Jesus the Mexican boy
Born in a [G]truck on the fourth of July
Gave me a [D]card with a lady naked
on the [A]back
[D]Barefoot at night on the road
Fireworks [G]blooming above in the sky
I nev[D]er knew I was given the
[A]best one from the deck
[D]

[Verse 2]
[Em]He never wanted no[G]thing
I [D]remember
[Em]Maybe a broken [G]bottle if I had [A]two
[Em]Hanging behind his [G]holy even [D]temper
[Em]Hiding the more un[G]holy things I [A]do

[Verse 3]
[D]Jesus the Mexican boy
Gave me a [G]ride on the back of his bike
Out to the [D]fair though I
welched on a [A]$5 bet
[D]Drunk on Calliope songs
We met a [G]home-wrecking
carnival carnival girl
He's nev[D]er asked for [A]a favor or [D]the money yet

[Interlude 1]
[Em][G][D][Em][G]
[A][Em][G][D][Em][G]
[A]

[Verse 4]
[D]Jesus the Mexican boy
Born in a [G]truck on the 4th of July
I fell [D]in love with his sister
[A]un [D]repentantly
Fearing he wouldn't approve
We made a [G]lie that was feeble at best
Boarded a [D]train bound for Vegas
and [A]married secretly
[D]

[Verse 5]
[Em]I never gave him not[G]hing
I [D]remember
[Em]Maybe a broken [G]bottle if I had [A]two
[Em]Hanging behind his [G]holy even [D]temper
[Em]Hiding the more un[G]holy things I [A]do

[Verse 6]
[D]Jesus the Mexican boy
Wearing a [G]long desert trip on his tie
Lo and [D]behold he was standing
under the welcome [A]sign
[D]Naked the Judas in me
Fell by the [G]tracks but he lifted me high
Kissing [D]my head like a brother
and [A]never asking why
[D]
