[Verse]
   F           C           F        C
He wants to be Christlike, never be jealous
      F           C   F              C
So he lets her go on about the other fellas
        Cm7    F       Bb           Gm7
But the animal in him awakes with a growl
      Em       A7       D
And a skin 'em cannibal scowl
Dm       G        F   C    F  C  Em
Skin 'em cannibal scowl___

[Verse]
      G              C              G            C
And a swing from the trees with his teeth like a chainsaw
     Am           D7            Gm               Bb
Come near me I'll rake off your face with one paw___
                             Eb           Bb
Watch me now, I'm beating my chest like a robber
    Gm             Dm        D7   C           D7  G  C   D7  G
Who steals from my meat as I rend and slobber

[Verse]
   F           C        F         C
He sits in the plaza in tunic and sandals
F            C         F          C
Watching her bent over buying the candles
       Cm7         F       Bb              Gm7
And he thinks he'd like to take her from behind
          Em              A7        D
Would the Scribes and the Pharisees mind?
Dm              G         F   C    F  C  Em
Scribes and the Pharisees mind___

[Verse]
  G       C               G          C
A woman approached me all bent and repentant
  Am              D7           Gm           Bb
I blessed her and sent her wherever she went___
                               Eb           Bb
Will these followers ever stop dogging me now
          Gm              Dm            D7        C     D7  G  C   D7  G
That I've thrown off this stone and got loose somehow?

[Verse]
  F             C          F      C
A life that you try to put into a grave
      F          C         F             C
Comes back every Easter to haunt you and save
       Cm7       F           Bb           Gm7
But my nature is wounded and bloodied and hung
       Em           A7           D
From a cross for my sins and the sins of everyone
Dm        G            F   C    F  C  Em
Oh, those sins of everyone___

[Verse]
    G           C            G              C
I'm jealous, goddamn it, I'm Christ and I'm jealous
    Am        D7          Gm                   Bb
And angry and sad and, oh father, please tell us
                          Eb     Bb
I'm human and god and I'm animal too
     Gm        Dm        D7       C
As I listen to her going on about you
