Verse:
E|-----|
G#m   E D# B

The E D# and B are all played once, pretty quickly. Listen to the
record. I think you'd find it absolutely impossible to sing along to
the verse. I know I do. Again, bar chords (as they almost always are).

The fourth (and last) verse is slightly different. Instead of the above,
play

G#m G#m    B

If this doesn't work for you, just play the first version. No one will
notice. Well, I will. But I won't tell anyone.


Chorus:
E|-----|-
B G#m E G

Use the low E (022100) here as opposed to a higher one in the verse
(x79997).


Chorus 2: (for want of a better term)
E|-----|---
D A D G
D A C G

Lyrics
E|-----|-

It was during my 2nd senior year when Mom found Jesus Christ. His
spirit was trapped inside an old manischevitz bottle that Mom picked
out of the dumpster behind the 7-11. Mom brought the bottle inside and
sat it down on top of the TV. Then she told all of us kids to gather
round, and then she explained how Jesus lived in the bottle, and how,
if she wanted to, she could call him out to do her bidding. Sis said it
reminded her of an old TV show, and Mom slapped her and called her a
heretic. I didn't say anything, cause I just still remember the time
outside the Safeway, when it took 4 security guards to hold Mom down.

B                     G#m
Jesus loves me, yes I know
                       E
For the Bible tells me so
                          G
When I'm weak he makes me strong
                       B
That's why I sing this song
                  G#m
If I die before I wake
                          E
Pray to him my soul don't take
                      G
Jesus loves me, yes I know

It wasn't long before people from all over the world started coming to
our house to see the bottle. At first I thought that this would make me
more popular at school. Instead it seemed to have the opposite result.
Kids would stop and point at me in the hallway and say, "There's the boy
whose mother keeps our savior cooped up in that tiny little bottle." And
then everybody started calling me 'Bottle boy'. And that really hurt. It
was also around this time that Mom began to attract some really weird
followers. Like that guy who never used deodorant and spoke only in
riddles. And that woman who collected 19th century hand made Amish
swimwear.

Jesus loves me, yes I know
For the Bible tells me so
When I'm weak he makes me strong
That's why I sing this song
If I die before I wake
Pray to him my soul don't take
Jesus loves me, yes I know

Mommy she loved Jesus, but not like others did
        D                       G
For she had a special bottle in which our savior lived

Mommy she loved Jesus, but not like others did
              C                          G
For she could unleash His vengeance by unfastening the lid
