Tom: A
A E A
[Verse 1]
A D A
I am a wandering minstrel and I travel round the land
E
With lots of silly stories and songs to beat the band
A D A
Some folks say I’m irreverent because of all my jokes
D A E A
But I was there with Jack Frost when the Almighty spoke
D A E A
Yes, I was there with Jack Frost when the Almighty spoke
[Chorus 1]
D A D A
God is from New Jersey. He brought the whole house down
D A E E7
West Virginia’s almost heaven but Bayonne’s God’s hometown
[Verse 2]
A D A
I was pokin’ fun of Jersey and the girls that can’t say, “No”
E
When suddenly the sky turned black and the wind began to blow
A D A
I was singin’ about the turnpike and the rest stops on the way
D A E A
When the Lord said, “That ain’t funny” so he blew the tent away
D A E A
Yes, the Lord said, “That ain’t funny” so he blew the tent away
[Chorus 2]
D A D A
God is from New Jersey. He made it very clear
D A E E7
He tore the tent to pieces, and he sucked up all the beer [slurp]
[Verse 3]
A D A
Now I can pick on Pottsville and no one really cares
E
Cause I saw cans of Yuengling go swirling through the air
A D A
And the moral of this story that I have learned is this
D A E A
Thou shalt not pick on Jersey cause the Lord gets really pissed
D A E A
No, thou shalt not pick on Jersey cause the Lord gets really pissed
[Chorus 1]
D A D A
God is from New Jersey. He brought the whole house down
D A E A
West Virginia’s almost heaven but Bayonne’s God’s hometown
