capo on second fret
B7 played without fourth finger


Intro: Em B7 Am Dm x2

Verse:
Em                Am
Tell me, have you heard the one

          Dm                       C        E7
About the prophet with the perfect soul?

Em        B7 Am                   Dm
The heavenly bastard with his own slasher flick--

             C                       G
The greatest fairytale ever told

Em     B7 Am
Weekly he receives

             Dm                    C         E7
A kneeling ovation from a sleepy nation

Em             B7      Am               Dm
They're swallowing the old routine, the holy saltine,

    C                           G
And backwash from the cup of salvation


-----

Chorus:
G                  Am                  F
Have you heard the 🏷Legend sweeping the land?

               C                         E7
They're saying we all sprung from some invisible man

            Am                            F
And when he finished up, he took a little rest

C                                  G            G7
And he's been resting ever since I guess...

Em       B7       Am
Tell me, have you heard the one

          Dm                          C         E7
About the young man who died for your sins?

                      Am
You think he would've learned his lesson

       Dm
Not to mess with us,

             C                    G
And yet they say he's gonna come again


   Em       B7    Am
He might've hit a ripe old age

     Dm                      C       E7
If a disciple had not failed him

        Am                        Dm
Broken, betrayed and lost, he lay alone on the cross

          C                        G
While the easter bunny pounded the nails in...

-----


Em       B7       Am
Tell me, have you heard the one

          Dm                    C         E7
About the healer who could resurrect?

                      Am
They say that when he rose from the dead

         Dm
He had a flattened head,

      C                          G
Black boots and two bolts in his neck

E7           Am
Hokum all ye faithful,

                 Dm             C           G
That's the whole fable as I was told it

E7           Am                      Dm
Honestly I'm half-way jealous of the gullible zealots

    C                         G
Who believe this unbelievable bullshit...
