G                                              C
Jesus Christ was a man that traveled through the land
G                             D
Hard working man and brave
G                               C
He said to the rich, "Give your goods to the poor."
             G                   D                G
So they laid Jesus Christ in his grave

[Chorus]
Alleluia…

G                                              C
He went to the preacher, he went to the sheriff
G                             D
Told them all the same
G                               C
Sell all of your jewelry and give it to the Poor
G                   D                G
So, they laid Jesus Christ in his grave

[Chorus]
Alleluia…

G                                              C
When Jesus come to town, the working folks around
G                             D
Believed what he did say
G                               C
The bankers and the preachers they nailed him on a cross
G                   D                G
And they laid Jesus Christ in his grave

[Chorus]
Alleluia…

G                                              C
Now, the working people, follered him around
G                             D
Sing and shouted "Gay"
G                               C
But the Cops and the soldiers, nailed him in the air
G                   D                G
And they laid Jesus Christ in his grave
