_ [F#] You ain't got nothing?
That's [F#] okay man, that's_
God bless you anyway.

_ _ Hey, you got a minute?
You got a minute?
Let me tell you a story about this friend of mine.
_ D.T. Jesus. _ _ _
_ Used to stand for Downtown Jesus.
Used to sell drugs and stuff down here.
We used to call him Detox. _
[F] He was one character, [E] one character that made it [A#] out of here.
Let me tell you [D] about him. _ _ _

_ _ _ _ Jesus was a conqueror, just a playboy from New York.
He hopped on the boulevard.
_ [A] He ain't got seven nickel candy.
He was singing up on his quarters.
He bought himself a [A] cheap guitar.
_ _ _ [C] [G] Started playing [C] bars.
[G] Hit him in the [C] cars.
Hear [G] them shouting at [B] the stage.
_ _ _ _ Jesus [F] said, [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ Jesus said,
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ Jesus, Jesus said. _ _ _ _ _ _
Things started changing.
Things got pretty strange. _
Suspicions everywhere.
[C#] _ _ [E] Star Tech was the show.
Making down the blows.
But Jesus [E] was getting better.
_ _ [G] Things got out of hand.
So he quit the [C] band.
[G] Still the critics, they [Bm] would [B] brag. _ _
Jesus saves.

Jesus saves. _ _ _ _
Yes, it does. _ _ _ _ _
