Verse:
E minorEm A minorAm
Tell me, have you heard the one
DmDm C majorC E7E7
About the prophet with the perfect soul?
E minorEm B7B7 A minorAm DmDm
The heavenly bastard with his own slasher flick--
C majorC G+G
The greatest fairytale ever told
E minorEm B7B7 A minorAm
Weekly he receives
DmDm C majorC E7E7
A augmentedA kneeling ovation from a sleepy nation
E minorEm B7B7 A minorAm DmDm
They're swallowing the old routine, the holy saltine,
C majorC G+G
And backwash from the cup of salvation
-----
Chorus:
G+G A minorAm FF
Have you heard the 🏷Legend sweeping the land?
C majorC E7E7
They're saying we all sprung from some invisible man
A minorAm FF
And when he finished up, he took a little rest
C majorC G+G G7G7
And he's been resting ever since I guess...

E minorEm B7B7 A minorAm
Tell me, have you heard the one
DmDm C majorC E7E7
About the young man who died for your sins?
A minorAm
You think he would've learned his lesson
DmDm
Not to mess with us,
C majorC G+G
And yet they say he's gonna come again
E minorEm B7B7 A minorAm
He might've hit a ripe old age
DmDm C majorC E7E7
If a disciple had not failed him
A minorAm DmDm
Broken, betrayed and lost, he lay alone on the cross
C majorC G+G
While the easter bunny pounded the nails in...

E minorEm B7B7 A minorAm
Tell me, have you heard the one
DmDm C majorC E7E7
About the healer who could resurrect?
A minorAm
They say that when he rose from the dead
DmDm
He had a flattened head,
C majorC G+G
Black boots and two bolts in his neck
E7E7 A minorAm
Hokum all ye faithful,
DmDm C majorC G+G
That's the whole fable as I was told it
E7E7 A minorAm DmDm
Honestly I'm half-way jealous of the gullible zealots
C majorC G+G
Who believe this unbelievable bullshit...
