Jesus On The Telephone Ukulele chords by Machinery Of The Human Heart

• Key: C

🎸 Verse 1:
       Am
Let me out
         G           C
Of these mental ward confines
             F7
So white and plain
        Am
Free my mind



     G                      C
From prescriptions that you write
            F7
I'm not the same

    Dm             G
Young kid with the see-through skin
        C    G   Am     Em
All arteries and veins
  Dm            G
Spun out in the family car
          C    G  F7
Trying to make my way
  Dm  G
Home

🎸 Chorus 1:
         Am             G
Are you ready to put me under?
           C                F7
'Cause I'm ready to go back home
        Am                    G
I don't care what the doctors told me
           C                      F7
I spoke to Jesus on the telephone
          Am                          G
He said, "Lace up your shoes and quit playing the blues"
          C
I'm gonna take me to a better place
          Am                        G
Where the sun always shines and the light in your eyes
          C                     F7
Is always tended like a burning flame

   Dm        G
Na na, na na na na na
         C  G  Am  Em
Na na na na na na
Dm           G
Na na, na na na na na
         C  G  F7
Na na na na na na

🎸 Verse 2:
      G  Am      G               C
Write me up on a list of who was cured
             F7
And what was slain
       Am             G                C
Like a glove with the blood of who you hurt
           F
I'm thrown away

🎸 Verse 3:
  Em
Because I'm
Dm                    G
Half gone, don't know what I'm on
          C     G   Am       Em
My vision blurs and shakes
Dm               G
You don't need a PhD
          C   G  F7
To be the one to break
Dm G
Me

🎸 Chorus 2:
        Am               G
Are you ready to call my mother
       C                 F7
And my father, my sister too
           Am              G
'Cause I'm going to higher places
           C                    F7
And I'm so sorry I'm not taking you
        Am                        G
So I'll lace up my shoes and quit playing the blues
          C                        F7
I'm gonna take me to a better place
          Am                        G
Where the sun always shines and the light in your eyes
          C                     F7
Is always tended like a burning flame
          Am
Where the sun always shines
        G
And the bells never chime
        C                 F7
And the undertaker stays away
