Jesus Was A Capricorn
Written & Performed by Kris Kristofferson
Tuning: Standard (EADGBE)
Sounds good fingerpicked, country-style, with alternating bass and fills.
V1.
D G D
Jesus was a Capricorn, he ate organic food,
E A
He believed in love and peace and never wore no shoes;
D G D
Long hair, beard and sandals and a funky bunch of friends,
A D
Reckon they just nailed him up so he'd come down again.
Chorus:
G D
Cause everybody's got to have somebody to look down on,
A G D
Those they can be better than at any time they please,
G D
Some folks doin' something dirty decent folks can frown on,
A G D
If you can't find nobody else, then help yourself to me.
V2.
D G D
Eggheads fussin,' rednecks cussin,' hippies for their hair,
E A
Others laugh at straights, who laugh at freaks, who laugh at squares;
D G D
Some folks hate the whites, who hate the blacks, who hate the Klan,
A D
Most of us hate anything that we don't understand.
(Repeat Chorus)
