[Ab] [E]
[Bm] Jesus Christ was a homeless child, down through [E] the river and he drank [Ab] and smiled and his
dad was a slow man, should have [E] churned that planet before it came to [Ab] crash.
Working real hard to make internet cash, beating the [A] bones [Ab] on your ass.
I know [E] now what I could have been, but I didn't know then what I [Em] know [Bm] now.
Then he found out and the hair was styled, should [E] hide your kid while the dogs run wild.
Jesus Christ was a homeless child, [Bm] down through the [E] river and he drank and [Bm] smiled and his
dad was [E] a slow man, should have killed up this fuckin' [Bm] report and he didn't have to do it.
