Tom: Am

E7 B7 Am7
Tell me, have you heard the one
Dm C E7
About the prophet with the perfect soul?
E7 B7 Am7 Dm
The heavenly bastard with his own slasher flick--
C G
The greatest fairytale ever told
E7 B7 Am7
Weekly he receives
Dm C E7
A kneeling ovation from a sleepy nation
E7 B7 Am7 Dm
They're swallowing the old routine, the holy saltine,
C G
And backwash from the cup of salvation
E|E|E|E|E|E|E|-----|||||||
G Am7 F
Have you heard the legend sweeping the land?
C E7
They're saying we all sprung from some invisible man
Am7 F
And when he finished up, he took a little rest
C G
And he's been resting ever since I guess...
E|E|E|E|E|E|E|-----|||||||
E7 B7 Am7
Tell me, have you heard the one
Dm C E7
About the young man who died for your sins?
E7 B7 Am7
You think he would've learned his lesson
Dm
Not to mess with us,
C G
And yet they say he's gonna come again
E7 B7 Am7
He might've hit a ripe old age
Dm C E7
If a disciple had not failed him
E7 B7 Am7 Dm
Broken, betrayed and lost, he lay alone on the cross
C G
While the easter bunny pounded the nails in...

E7 B7 Am7
Tell me, have you heard the one
Dm C E7
About the healer who could resurrect?
E7 B7 Am7
They say that when he rose from the dead
Dm
He had a flattened head,
C G
Black boots and two bolts in his neck
E7 B7 Am7
Hokum all ye faithful,
Dm C E7
That's the whole fable as I was told it
E7 B7 Am7 Dm
Honestly I'm half-way jealous of the gullible zealots
C G
Who believe this unbelievable bullshit...
