[Em] [G]
Hi, this is Chuck Prophet.
I'm here to let you know that you're watching [C#m] EWTN.
[A]
Well, [D]
[G] [D] [E]
[B] [E] [A]
[D] [C#] [A] [Em] [A]
[D] Jesus [A] was a social drinker.
[D]
[G] He never drank [D] alone.
He [E] never partied [B] in a strip [E] club,
[A] keeping his woman [D] up at [A] home, or [D] overstayed his [A] welcome, [D] or threw [G] up in your [D] sink.
[G] Nah, [E]
[B] Jesus, he was [E] never late to work, man.
[A] And he [D] always pulled his weight.
[A] Tell me where it hurts.
[D] I'll tell you what to feel.
[E] Wash me in the water, mama.
[A] And I'll wash you in the water.
Now, [D] Jesus, [A] he was cool.
[D]
[G] He could take or [D] leave the stuff.
[E] And if it [B] got too [E] loose, [G#] [A] well, then he knew he'd had [D] [A] enough.
[D] [A] Jesus wasn't Irish.
[E] Oh my [D] God, imagine if [G] he was.
[D] [E] He might have written [B] poetry [E] at first, and enjoyed [A] a pint of [D] Guinness [A] every day for lunch.
Tell me where it hurts.
[D] I'll tell you what to feel.
[E] Wash me in the water, mama.
[A] And I'll wash you in the water.
Come on, Ron.
[D]
[E]
[A]
[D] Now, [A] Jesus, [D] he never had a synthesizer,
[G] a [D] laptop, or even a pen.
[E] But he [B] wrote a best-selling [E] novel.
Yes, he did.
[A] Disappeared and [D] was never [A] heard from again.
He was an all [D]-round [A] decent dude.
[D] But he had his [G] share of rough [D] nights.
Yeah, [E] and the more I [B] learn about him, [E] well, [A] the more respect [D] I [A] have for the guy.
Tell me where it hurts.
[D] I'll tell you what to feel.
[E] Wash me in the water, mama.
And [A] I'll wash you in the water.
Tell me where it hurts.
[G] And I'll tell you what to feel.
[B] Wash me in the water, mama.
Come [A] on, wash me in the water.
