Spoken- Let me tell ya a story about a 
very special gift I received from a, 
from a man that I didn’t know very well. 
But he brightened up the night and made 
it one of the great shining moments of 
our long tour.


Goes like this-

C/G
Backstage in Detroit
        F               G              C/G
And the room is full of smoke and apprehension

We'd been playing shows
       F               G             C/G
As the warm-up and the band for Beck Hanson

In walks Jack, says - "How'd ya do?" (Oh yeah)
                       |G|   |G|    |G|  G
Then he handed me this wonderful statue.
             C/G      
And I said, "Thank you Jack White
        F           G              C/G
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me."

It shined so bright
       F             G                  C/G
That I couldn't help believin' it would save me.

When I finally got it home
                          |G|   |G|    |G|  G
My whole neighborhood was aglow
             C/G
And I said, "Thank you Jack White
        F           G              C/G
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me."

(Here comes the pick)
(Oh Yeah)

Jack and Meg are funny
They got a modern backwards-liberal family code
Brother and sister
Playing rock 'n' roll and doing it on the road
I bet that van begin to stink
But then I wonder - oh - what Christ would think.

I said, "Thank you Jack White
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me."
It shined so bright
That I couldn't help believin' it would save me.
And when I finally got it home
My whole neighborhood was aglow
And I said, "Thank you Jack White
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me."
(Nice one)
