 C
 If I was Jesus, Iād have some real long hair
                                             G
 A robe and some sandals, is exactly what Iād wear
                      C
 Iād be the guy at the party, turninā water to wine
                                                G    G#dim w/u
 Yeah me and my disciples, weād have a real good time

 Am           F                C      G  G#dim
 Ooh and Iād lay my life down for you   (wooah)
 Am       F                     C   G  G#dim
 Yeah and I show you whoās the boss   (wooah)
 Am      F            C-C/B-Am-G
 Iād forgive you and ado---re you
 F                            G
 While I was hanginā on your cross
 
          C
 If I was Jesus, Iād have some friends that were poor
                                                      G
 Iād run around with the wrong crowd, man Iād never be bored
                    C
 Then Iād heal me a blind man, get myself crucified
                                                   G    G#dim w/u
 By politicians and preachers, who got somethinā to hide

                                                   G
 And Iād walk on some water, just to mess with your head
                        C
 I know your dark little secrets, Iād look you right in the face
                                          G     G#dim w/u
