(Verse)
Fm
When I met him on a sidewalk
He was preaching to a mailbox
Bbm
Down on 16th Avenue
Db
And he told me he was Jesus
Eb
Sent from Jupiter to free us
Fm
With a bottle of tequila and one shoe
Bbm
He raged about repentance
Csus C
He finished every sentence
Fm Bbmsus
With a promise that the end was close at hand
Gb Csus C
I didn’t even try to understand
Fm Eb2 Db CMajsus CMaj
He left me wide eyed in disbelief and disillusion
Fm Eb2 Db CMajsus CMaj
I was tongue tied, drawn by my conclusions
Bbm Csus C
So I turned and walked away
Fm Eb2 Bbm
And laughed at what he had to say
CMaj CMaj
Then casually dismissed him as a fraud
Gb
I forgot he was created in the image of my God

Fm
When I met her in a bookstore
She was browsing on the first floor
Bbm
Through a yoga magazine
Db
And she told me in her past life
Eb
She was some plantation slave’s wife
Fm
She had to figure out what that might mean
Bbm Csus C
She believes the healing powers of her crystals
Fm Bbmsus
Can bring balance and new purpose to her life
Gb Csus
Sounds nice
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Bbm Fm
Not so long ago, a man from Galilee
Eb Db
Fed thousands with His bread and His theology
Bbm
And the truth He spoke
Quickly became the joke
Csus
Of educated, self-inflated Pharisees like me

Would I have turned and walked away
Gm F2 Eb Cm2
And laughed at what He had to say

Unaware that I was staring at the image of my God
