Hey everybody.
Great song that appeared at the end of Michael Moore's 'Captalism: A Love Story'
Enjoy!
[Verse 1]
F
Jesus Christ was a man that travelled through the land
C
A carpenter true and brave
F C F
He said to the rich give your goods to the poor
C F
And they laid Jesus Christ in the grave
[Verse 2]
F Bb F
He went to the sick and he went to the poor
C
And he went to the hungry and the lame
F Bb F
And he said that the meek would inherit the whole world
C F
And they laid Jesus Christ in the grave
[Verse 3]
F Bb F
One day Jesus stopped at a rich man’s door
C
What must I do to be saved
F Bb F
Take all you own and give it to the poor
C F
And they laid Jesus Christ in the grave
[Verse 4]
F Bb F
When the love of the poor shall one day turn to hate
C
When the patience of the workers give away
F Bb F
Would be better for the rich if they never been born
C F
So they laid Jesus Christ in the grave
[Verse 5]
F Bb F
When Jesus came to town all the working folks around
C
Believed what he did say
F Bb F
But bankers and preachers nailed him to the cross
C F
And they laid Jesus Christ in the grave
[Verse 6]
F Bb F
Well the people held their breath when they heard about his death
C
And everybody wondered why
F Bb F
Was the landlord and soldiers lawmen there had hired
C F
That nailed Jesus Christ in the sky
[Outro]
F Bb F
We would lay Jesus Christ in the grave Lord Lord
C
We would lay Jesus Christ in the grave
F Bb F
And if Jesus preached today like he preached in Galilee
C F
We would lay Jesus Christ in his grave
