Jesus Was an Only Son Chords by Bruce Springsteen

[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _
Well, Jesus _ [G] was an only [D] son as he walked the [G] Calvary hill. _
Mother [D] Mary _ [G] walking beside [D] him in the path where his blood spilled. _ _
_ Jesus [G] was an only [D] son in the hills of [G] Nazareth. _
[D] And he read in the Psalms [G] of the baby, [D] _
and let [A] his mother [D] sleep. _
Mother, pray sleep tight, [G] my child, [D] sleep well, for I'll be at your [G] side. _
[D] That no shadow, no darkness, [G] no [D] tolling death shall [A] fix your [D] dreams this night. _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _
In the garden, I [G] guess, I'm in [D] here.
He prayed for the life he'd never [G] live. _ _
[D] He beseeched his heavenly [G] Father [D] to remove the cup [A] of death from [D] his lips. _
And there's a loss that can never [G] be [D] replaced, a destination that can never be [G] reached. _
[D] A light you'll never find [G] in another's [D] face, a sea whose distance [A] cannot [D] be breached. _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _
Well, Jesus kissed [G] his mother's [D] hands, and whispered, Mother, _ rest in [G] your tears. _ _
[D] Remember the soul [G] of the universe, [D] where the [A] world ended [D] up here. _ _
