Verse 
A                         F 
Jay he was an alien, just one of the boys 
C                      G 
He had a rock and roll band 
A                        F 
He smoked dope daily and soon he believed, 
C                G 
he was a miracle man 

Verse 
A                              F 
One day stoned and holy he was crossing the street 
C                     G 
But he didn’t see the cars 
A                                  F 
With the dent in his head from the hospital bed 
C                       G 
he said “I’m Jesus from Mars” 


D                  A        F 
And all the little children say, 
C                     G 
“Jesus Never Lived on Mars” 
G                       A             F 
You’re just a messed up maggot with a dent in your head 
C               D      A 
And Jesus never played guitar 

Verse 
A                         F 
Dress and restless it was time for the show, but 
C                                  G 
The band sensed that something was wrong 
A                          F 
Jay’s new ballads that the band didn’t know 
C                            G 
Made a crucifix and lit us a wrong 

Verse 
A                           F 
Jay started singing and the crowd stood and stared 
C                               G 
And the beer bottles started to crash 
A                             F 
and they broke Jay’s fingers, tore out his hair 
C                               G 
And threw him in the alley like trash 


D                  A        F 
And all the little children say, 
C                     G 
“Jesus Never Lived on Mars” 
G                       A             F 
You’re just a messed up maggot with a dent in your head 
C               D      A 
And Jesus never played guitar
