Jesus Christ(Chords)

	        A 
Well Jesus was a man  
D 
Who travelled through the land 
A                      E 
A hard working man and brave 
A 
Well He said to the rich  
D 
Give your money to the poor 
A              E             A 
Well they laid Jesus Christ in His grave  
A      D 
Halle, hallelujah 
A      E  
Halle, hallelujah 
A      D 
Halle, hallelujah 
A              E             A 
Well they laid Jesus Christ in His grave
 
A 
Well He went to the preacher 
D 
He went to them all 
A                    E 
He told them all the same 
A 
He said sell all your jewellery  
D 
And give it to the poor 
A              E             A 
Well they laid Jesus Christ in His grave  
 
 
Chorus 
 
 
A 
When Jesus came to town  
D 
All the working fools around 
A                    E 
Believed what he did say 
A 
Well, the bankers and the preachers  
D 
They nailed him on a cross 
A              E             A 
And they laid Jesus Christ in His grave  
 
 
D 
And fair working people 
A 
They followed him around 
D                         E 
They sung and shouted the day 
A 
Well the cops and the soldiers 
D 
They nailed him in the air 
A              E             A 
Well they laid Jesus Christ in His grave, woah  
 
Chorus x2 
 
A 
Well this song was written  
D 
In New York city 
A 
By a rich man 
E                 A 
A preacher, and a slave 
A 
Well if Jesus was to preach  
D 
What he preached at Galilee 
A              E             A 
They would lay Jesus Christ in His Grave 
 
Chorus x2
