Cosmo Jarvis - Sure As Hell Not Jesus
------------------------------
Key of B with Capo 2, ear-transcribed on ukulele by Neil Killer.
------------------------------
A lot of the guitar chords in this song are hard to decipher; I always found
something to tweak in these chords after I took a break and came back. The
chord after Bm in the chorus is hard to hear, but it sounds like either an E
or an A. I went with E because it fits better with the A at the end of the
chorus and also follows the pattern of the solo towards the end. The bridge has
sort of a partial key change, and it's *very* difficult to hear the chords
clearly, but the progression I came up with sounds pretty much perfect when I
play it together with the song.
------------------------------
The song is played with a Capo 2, as seen in the "rehearsal" video on YouTube.
If you're not using a capo, hit the "Up 2 Half Steps" button. I like playing
it in the key of C (hit "Up 3 Half Steps") since it sounds best like that on
my ukulele.

[Capo 2]

VERSE 1:
  DHere (xx0232@1)I sit
                                   BmIf (x24432@1)I didn't need nobody, I'd thank God for it
           E (022100@1)                            A (x02220@1)       (Ab A)
There'd be nothing that'd stop me getting on with it
                  DIt'd (xx0232@1)be me and my brain
       Bm (x24432@1)         EAnd (022100@1)my pain, and my shame
  DI (xx0232@1)guess I do
                                      BmThis (x24432@1)carpark's only got one space and it's for you
  E (022100@1)                           A (x02220@1)            (Ab A)
Alone can show an ugly face, so pull me through
                        DTo (xx0232@1)where I won't need a light
          BmTo (x24432@1)see at night
              E (022100@1)   (D)
Cos I'll be alright

CHORUS:
       E (022100@1)                                 Bm (x24432@1)     EYou're (022100@1)sure as hell not Jesus, but you're saving me
      Bm (x24432@1)          E (022100@1)           Bm (x24432@1)      EThank (022100@1)you very much for putting faith in me
      Bm (x24432@1)           E (022100@1)           Bm (x24432@1)      EReminding (022100@1)me a light was once so great to be
        Bm (x24432@1)             E (022100@1)          A (x02220@1)       (Amaj7)
I'm glad I made a friend that doesn't pray for me

VERSE 2:
DHere (xx0232@1)I wait
                                   BmFor (x24432@1)something bad and saddening to draw my way
  E (022100@1)                             A (x02220@1)      (Ab A)
I fight to give it everything and lose I may
                            DBut (xx0232@1)I still got you somewhere
            BmIt's (x24432@1)just upstairs
        EMaybe (022100@1)I care
DGuess (xx0232@1)I am
                                 BmNo (x24432@1)big and strong Goliath, I'm a wandering man
    E (022100@1)                           A (x02220@1)       (Ab A)
And sometimes I get tired and I'm glad a hand
                          DComes (xx0232@1)and slaps me and then
         BmIt (x24432@1)goes again
                  E (022100@1)    (D)
I guess you're my friend
