Chords for Chuck Cannon "If I Was Jesus" @ Eddie Owen Presents

But even so when I turned 16 years old, I was just like any other 16 year old boy
I had exactly one thing on my mind.
I wanted a car.
_ _ _ Oh
Y'all was thinking something else.
Well, see I knew if I get I figured if I could get the car
Then I could get what y'all got to thinking about this [A#] thing
_ [G] _ [D] so
_ [B]
Sure enough.
There was this one day that my daddy
He had to stop what he was doing and come pick me up from the house and give me a ride to the baseball
we were playing a game and I didn't [Bm] have a ride [N] and he
Put a hitch in his come along.
Now.
I love telling that when I go up north
Y'all don't even react hard, you know, y'all know what the hell I'm talking about
I'm up north and I say hitching to come along and you hear murmurs all through the room.
What do you say?
_ And so I have to explain to him I don't go into detail
But I explained to him that a hitch is about the last thing you want your come along it
_ It'll learn [D] a perfectly good come along
We riding down the road to the baseball field and there's daddy with that [C] hitch all up in his come along
[A#] And I figured [B] timing is everything and I said, hey daddy.
Listen here
I'll save me up some money and if you will loan me $500
I can get that little Mercury Capri right down the road for a thousand dollars and
Daddy at that time
[N] _ you I could lean my head real hard to the side and
if I had on a turtleneck my hair would [G] touch my collar and
_ daddy said [D] son, I
tell you what, I'll just [F] buy the car for you if
if you [D] let me take you over to Enoch and Ernie's barbershop and and get you a proper haircut and _
_ _ Come on daddy
I've seen all the pictures Jesus has long hair.
[Dm] _ _ [D] _ _
I
Figured he'd seen the pictures [B] too and he had me because he didn't even miss a beat.
He said yes, son.
That's [G] exactly right
Jesus did have long [N] hair and he walked everywhere he went
_ [Dm] _ _ [D] _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ If I was Jesus I'd have a real long hair
_ [A] Here old and some Sam will [Am] be all that way.
[D] I'd be the [Am] guy at the [Em] party
turning water [E] in the [D] wine
Me and my disciples.
We'd have a real [A] good time
[D] _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ [D] _ _ _ If I was Jesus, I'd have some friends [B] that was poor
[F] I'd run around with the [E] wrong crowd.
I'd never be a boy [D] and I'd hear
[B] me a blind man [E] get myself crucified by [Dm] politicians and
[A] Preachers who got something [Dm] to hide [E] I
Would _ _ lay my life [A] down for you if I was Jesus help me sing that if I was [G] Jesus _
I would show you who's above
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [C] I [G] forgive you forgive you not [Dm] adore you I
Was _ [D] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
[G] _ hanging
_ _ _ [E] Your cross
_ _ [A] _ [D] Was Jesus
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _
Buzz Jesus
[F] Wouldn't be quite finished _ _ _
If I was [F] Jesus I'd come back from the day [Dm] and I'd walk on some water [Am] just
Mess with your head.
[A] I'd know your dark little [E] secrets not look you did in your face [D] and I'd say
_ I'm with [C] a man
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [G] _ _
My life [A] down for you

[Dm] _ _ _
While _ _ _ _ [G] I was hanging _ _ on your [A] cross
