*note*  This song needs two people.

Verse (Jesus)1:
               CWhen (x32010@1)You feel sad or under a curse,
              D7Your (xx0212@1)life is bad,

Your prospects are worse,
               G7Your (320001@1)wife is sigh-ing, cry-ing,

And your olive tree is dying.
C (x32010@1)                      B7Temples (x21202@1)are greying and teeth are decaying
     D7 (xx0212@1)                    G7And (320001@1)creditors weighing your purse!

Verse 2 (Jesus):
                    CYour (x32010@1)mood and your robe are both a deep blue.
             D7You (xx0212@1)bet that Job had nothing on you.
                   F (133211@1)    F#dim (2312xx@1) C (x32010@1)              Ab7Don't (xx1112@1)forget that when you go to Heaven you'll be blessed,
D7 (xx0212@1)       G7 (320001@1)       CYes, (x32010@1)it's all for the best.

Verse 1 (second vocalist):
              CSome (x32010@1)men are born to live at ease,

Doing what they please,

Richer than the bees are in honey,
D7Never (xx0212@1)growing old, never feeling cold,

Pulling pots of gold from the air.
     G7The (320001@1)best in ev'ry town,

Best at shaking down, best at making mountains of money,
(slow)C               B7They (x21202@1)can't take it with them, 
     D7But (xx0212@1)what do they care?
(speed up)     C
They get the center of the meat, 
Cushions on their seat,
Houses on a street where it's sunny.
D7 (xx0212@1)               
Summers at sea, winters warm and free,
            Dm7
All of this we get the rest, but,
F (133211@1)          F#dimWho (2312xx@1)is the land for, 
     C (x32010@1)           Ab7The (xx1112@1)sun and the sand for?
       D7 (xx0212@1)       G7 (320001@1)        CYou (x32010@1)guessed it's all for the best.
