Verse (Jesus)1:
        C majorC
When You feel sad or under a curse,
       D7D7
Your life is bad,

Your prospects are worse,
        G7G7
Your wife is sigh-ing, cry-ing,

And your olive tree is dying.
B7B7
Temples are greying and teeth are decaying
   G7G7
And creditors weighing your purse!

Verse 2 (Jesus):
          C majorC
Your mood and your robe are both a deep blue.
       D7D7
You bet that Job had nothing on you.
          Ab7Ab7
Don't forget that when you go to Heaven you'll be blessed,
C majorC
Yes, it's all for the best.

Verse 1 (second vocalist):
       C majorC
Some men are born to live at ease,

Doing what they please,
Richer than the bees are in honey,
D7D7
Never growing old, never feeling cold,

Pulling pots of gold from the air.
   G7G7
The best in ev'ry town,

Best at shaking down, best at making mountains of money,
(slow)B7
They can't take it with them,
   D7D7
But what do they care?
(speed up)   C majorC
They get the center of the meat,
Cushions on their seat,
Houses on a street where it's sunny.
D7D7
Summers at sea, winters warm and free,
      Dm7Dm7
All of this we get the rest, but,
F#dimF#dim
Who is the land for,
   Ab7Ab7
The sun and the sand for?
    C majorC
You guessed it's all for the best.

*note* Repeat this with both vocalists, end with:
A7A7
Yes, it's all for the (You must never be distressed)
           (All your wrongs will be distressed)
C majorC
