Jesus Was A Wino Too

Intro
C G F C

[Verse 1]
C
Well, some days you wake up
                       G
and life feels meaningless

You don’t even have the strength
                       C
to get up and get dressed

Then when you do, you see your
                                                                     G
clothes are all torn to shreds

And you can’t even afford to buy
                 C
a needle and thread


C
So, you might go to church to
                    G
bow your head and pray

But that ain’t always enough to
                 C
get through the day

Sometimes you’ll feel bitter, you’ll
                                                                      G
say that this priest is a mooch

And you might just take all of
                                                                         C
your tithes with a bottle of hooch

[Chorus]
F
And if people knew, they would
           C
look down on you
                             G
Don’t they know that it’s true?
F             G     C
Jesus was a wino, too

[Verse 2]
C
People may ask, “Why have your
             G
lips turned black?”

“Hey, what the hell is so funny,

man? Why have your eyes gone
C
slack?“

They might feel high and mighty
                     G
when I can barely stand

Well, just tell them I couldn’t turn

down one my glass of the blood
        C
of the lamb

[Chorus]
F
Because if people knew, they
                  C
would call me a fool
                         G
I wish they knew it was true:
F                             C
Jesus was a wino, too was a Wino too


[Chorus]
F
Because if people knew, they
                  C
would call me a fool
                          G
I wish they knew it was true:
F                   C
Jesus was a wino, too

[Verse 3]
F
And this here six-dollar bottle is
                    C
just about that all I can afford
    D
If I can’t find a corkscrew, I’ll just
                      G
smash it open right here on the

floor
         C
And you might call me crazy for
                         G
lapping this off the ground

But a few years ago I would be
                           C
drinking with Jesus right now

‘Cause they may not have had
                                                                        G
Carlo Rossi way back in his day

Jesus had only water but he
F                     C
turned it to wine anyway

[Chorus]
    F
And nobody asked, “What would
       C
Jesus do?”
                   G    F
‘Cause everybody knew Jesus

             C
was a wino, too
F
No, nobody asked, “What would
C
Jesus do?”
                       G                    F
‘Cause everybody knew Jesus
              C
was a wino, too
