[Intro 1]
[G]
[C][F#m][G][E][Dm][G]
[Dm]

[Verse 1]
Je[G]sus was an Atheist
He was a friend [Gm]of mine
[G]We hooked up in temple
Back [Gm]in Roman Pa[Bb]lestine
[C]We became friends
It was the best of both worlds
I was [G]good at stealing silver
He was good at bullyin' girls
[Gm]He

[Verse 2]
[Dm]said they're going to kill me
When we go out smokin'
I [G]thought he meant the cigarettes
But [Dm]Je sus w[C]asn't jo[F]kin'
[Gm][G]

[Verse 3]
[Dm]Mary[G] was
a pragmatist
And virgin rolled in [Gm]one
One [G]day she said to Joseph
"Joe, I think [C]the time [Bb]has come
[C]Your boy needs to get a job
Try the laundromat"
[G]Joseph said, "he ain't my boy
I think we [C]settled that"
[Dm]Mary said something about
Semantics with a smile
Joe [G]said, "I'm going drinkin'
I'll be [Dm]back in a [F]little while"
[G]

[Verse 4]
[Dm]
I [G]heard somebody say
Jesus was a Capricorn
[Gm]Jesus told me once
[G]On the day he [Gm]was bor[Bb]n
A [C]giant super nova exploded in the sky
He [G]said he didn't know
What it was supposed to signi[C]fy
[Dm]I lost touch with him
And he lost touch with me
The [G]next thing I remember
He was [Gm]big in [C]Ga l[Gm]ilee
[C][G]

[Verse 5]
[Dm]
We were [G]walkin' in the desert
Trading big hits from a [Gm]bong
They [G]said it was 40 days
[C]It didn't [G]seem [Am]that [Bb]long
[C]I was trying to talk him out
Of such a pointless sacrifice
[Gm]He s[G]aid it was the only way
He got to [Gm]paradise
I [Dm]said, "You might be high"
He said I was mistaken
[F]But wat[G]ching him die
[Gm]Was [Dm]truly [F]heartbreakin'
[G][Gm]

[Verse 6]
[Dm]
Je[G]sus descended
I guess you'd call it that
I'm down here, baby
What the hell you [C]lookin' [Bb]at?
[C]I sometimes wonder if
we'd stay friends
[G]How am I to change the way
This party end[C]s?
I [Dm]know you all believe
That Jesus was divine
Je[G]sus was [Gm]an atheist
He was [C]a friend [F]of mine[Gm]
