can be played by one person on one guitar at the same time. Let the chords ring.}
(The very first D and G chords are mimicing VERY low voicings on Piano and used only once.
The rest are around the 5th fret to 7th fret.
The "?" shows notes used to play the riff at the same time)

Jesus! >> >> >> {repetitive lead line begins (see ** below)}
Dm
You've started to believe
Em
The things they say of you
F
You really do believe
G Dm
This talk of God is true
And all the good you've done
Will soon get swept away
You've begun to matter more
Than the things you say

Naza-reth your famous son should have stayed a great unknown
Gm Dm/A
Like his father carving wood
A7 Dm
He'd have made good!
Tables, chairs and oaken chests would have suited Jesus best
He'd have caused nobody harm
No one alarm!
{back to 4/4}
Listen Jesus do you care for your race,
Can't you see we must keep in our place
We are occupied - Have you forgotten how put down we are?
I am frightened by the crowd
For we are getting much too loud
And they'll crush us if we go to far.
If we go-oh-oh-oh to-oo

Please remember that I want us to live
But it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hour....
All your followers are blind,
Too much heaven on their minds
It was beautiful but now it's
