D5
Well, I don't care if it rains or freezes
G5
Long as I have my plastic Jesus
D5                              A5
Riding on the dashboard of my car
D5
Through all trials and tribualtions
G5
We will travel every nation
D5                 A5            D5
With my plastic Jesus I'll go far


CHORUS
D5              G5 
Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus
D5                              A5
Riding on the dashboard of my car
D5
Through all trials and tribulations
G5
We will travel every nation
D5                 A5            D5
With my plastic Jesus I'll go far

G5
Riding down a thorooughfare
D5
With his nose up in the air
D5                                   A5 
A wreck may be ahead, but He don't mind
D5
Trouble coming He don't see
G5
He just keeps His eye on me
D5               A5               D5
ANd any other thing that lies behind

D5              G5
Plastic Jesus, Plastic Jesus
D5                             A5
Riding on the dasboard of my car
D5
Though the sunshine on his back
G5
Makes Him peel, chip and crack
D5                  A5               D5 
A little patching keeps Him up to par

D5
When pedestrians try to cross
G5
I let them know who's boss
D5                                     A5
I never blow the horn or give them warning
D5
I ride all over town
G5
Trying to run them down
D5                           A5               D5
And it's seldom that they live to see the morning

D5              G5
Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus
D5                              A5
Riding on the dashboard of my car
D5
His halo fits just right
G5
And I use it for sight
D5                               A5                 D5
And they'll scatter or they'll splatter near and far

D5
If I weave around at night
G5
And the police think I'm tight
D5                                          A5
They'll never find my bottle, though they ask
D5
Plastic Jesus shelters me
G5
For His head comes off, you see
D5                   A5              D5
He's hollow, and I use Him for a flask

D5              G5 
Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus
D5                              A5
Riding on the dashboard of my car
D5
Ride with me and have a dram
G5
Of the blood of the Lamb
D5               A5        D5
Plastic Jesus is a holy bar

D5              G5
Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus
D5                              A5       
Riding on the dashboard of my car
D5
But I think he'll have to go
G5
His magnet ruins my radio
D5           A5                   D5 
And if we wreck he'll leave a scar

D5              G5
Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus
D5                              A5
Riding on the dashboard of my car
D5
Once His robe was snowy white
G5
Now it isn't quite so bright
D5               A5            D5
Stained by the smoke of my cigar
