Jesus The Mexican Boy chords by Iron & Wine

G                C
Jesus the Mexican boy, Born in a truck on the fourth of July
       G             D
Gave me a card with a lady naked on the back
G                    C
Barefoot at night on the road, Fireworks blooming above in the sky
G                D
I never knew I was given the best one from the deck


Am       C        G
He never wanted nothing I remember
Am       C        D
Maybe a broken bottle if I had two
Am           C        G
Hanging behind his holy even temper
Am       C        D
Hiding the more unholy things I do

G                C
Jesus the Mexican boy, Gave me a ride on the back of his bike
       G             D
Out to the fair though I welched on a $5 bet
G                C
Drunk on Calliope songs, We met a home-wrecking carnival girl
       G               D
He's never asked for a favor or the money yet


G                C
Jesus the Mexican boy, Born in a truck on the 4th of July
    G                D
I fell in love with his sister unrepentantly
G                C
Fearing he wouldn't approve, We made a lie that was feeble at best
    G                   D
Boarded a train bound for Vegas and married secretly


Am       C        G
I never gave him nothing I remember
Am       C        D
Maybe a broken bottle if I had two
Am           C        G
Hanging behind his holy even temper
Am       C        D
Hiding the more unholy things I do


G                C
Jesus the Mexican boy, Wearing a long desert trip on his tie
    G                    D
Lo and behold he was standing under the welcome sign
G                C
Naked the Judas in me, Fell by the tracks but he lifted me high
    G                    D
