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

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?“

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

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

And this here six-dollar bottle is

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?”

Was a wino, too
