[Intro]
Em7* Am Dm
Em7* Am Dm
[Verse]
Em7* Am
Tell me, have you heard the one
Dm C E7
About the prophet with the perfect soul?
Am Dm
The heavenly bastard with his own slasher flick--
C G
The greatest fairytale ever told
Em7
Weekly he receives
Am Dm C E7
A kneeling ovation from a sleepy nation
Am Dm
They're swallowing the old routine, the holy saltine
C G
And backwash from the cup of salvation
[Chorus]
Am F
Have you heard the legend sweeping the land?
C Em7
They're saying we all sprung from some invisible man
Am F
And when he finished up, he took a little rest
C G G(e-1-0-/ B-3-)
And he's been resting ever since I guess...
[Bridge]
Am Dm C E7
Am Dm C G
[Verse]
Em7* Am
Tell me, have you heard the one
Dm C E7
About the young man who died for your sins?
Am
You think he would've learned his lesson
F
Not to mess with us
C G
And yet they say he's gonna come again
Em7* Am
He might've hit a ripe old age
Dm C E7
If a disciple had not failed him
Am Dm
Broken, betrayed and lost, he lay alone on the cross
C G
While the Easter bunny pounded the nails in..
[Chorus]
Am F
Have you heard the legend sweeping the land?
C Em7
They're saying we all sprung from some invisible man
Am F
And when he finished up, he took a little rest
C G G(e-1-0-/ B-3-)
And he's been resting ever since I guess...
[Interlude]
Em7* Am Dm
Em7* Am Dm
[Verse]
Em7* Am
Tell me, have you heard the one
Dm C E7
About the healer who could resurrect?
Am
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
Em7*
Hokum all ye faithful
Am Dm C E7
That's the whole fable as I was told it
Am Dm
Honestly I'm half-way jealous of the gullible zealots
C G
Who believe this unbelievable bullshit..
[Chorus]
Am F
Have you heard the legend sweeping the land?
C Em7
They're saying we all sprung from some invisible man
Am F
And when he finished up, he took a little rest
C G
And he's been resting ever since I guess..
[Interlude]
