Verse 1:
    E minorEm     G+G
I saw Jesus on the corner
C majorC        G+G
Talking to some kids
E minorEm      G+G
Leaning on a light post
C majorC      G+G
Rollin' up a spliff
     E minorEm       G+G
He said, "Child come and try this."
   C majorC        G+G
As he pointed right at me
E minorEm     G+G
Handed me a joint
      C majorC         G+G
Said, "This might help you believe."
   E minorEm         G+G
Oh, I thought that I knew Mary
  C majorC       G+G
The mother of the Babe
    E minorEm         G+G
But the Savior learned his lessons
   C majorC       G+G
From wise old Mary Jane
     E MajorE      G+G
All those miracles he did
     C majorC      G+G
All those parables he told
    E minorEm      G+G       C majorC     G+G
Were inspired by the ganja that he regularly rolled

Chorus:
  C majorC          D MajorD     G+G       G+G
The night I smoked with Jesus I saw heaven way up close
   C majorC       D MajorD
I saw Grandma in her nighty
   G+G       G+G
Faded with the Holy Ghost
   C majorC      D MajorD
I saw David and Goliath
  G+G       G+G   G+G   G+G
And man were they both stoned
   C majorC      D MajorD      G+G         G+G
I saw all of the apostles in a cloud of righteous smoke
     E minorEm  G+G
I said, "Hey
    C majorC         G+G
Is this what you meant by saved?
  E minorEm         G+G
You get so high it's spiritual
     C majorC      G+G
You just kinda float away."
     E minorEm   G+G
I said, "Hey
    C majorC       G+G
Will I see you when I die?"
     E minorEm       G+G
He said, "If you keep on puffing
    C majorC        G+G
Then it all turns out alright."

    E minorEm      G+G
I heard Jesus on the corner
 C majorC        G+G
Talking to some cops
   E minorEm      G+G
Only doobie lovin' Jesus
     C majorC        G+G
Gets the law enforcement crossed
    E minorEm      G+G
If you travel down to Venice
      C majorC       G+G
And you're cruisin' right along
  E minorEm       G+G
I guarantee you'll see him
  C majorC       G+G
The Savior and his bong
    E minorEm      G+G
And on Sunday he is preachin'
 C majorC          G+G
A augmentedA blunt's good for the soul
E minorEm   G+G        C majorC       G+G
THC for all for there is freedom in the bowl
  E minorEm          G+G
If you need white-robed Jesus
   C majorC       G+G
He's somewhere in LA
E minorEm      G+G
Growin' marijuana
  C majorC         G+G
And burnin' till he's blazed


Chorus:
