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
