[Ebm]
[Abm] I don't go [Bb] to church on [Ebm] Sunday, don't get on my knees [Abm] to pray.
Don't memorize [Ebm] the books of the Bible, I got [Bb] my own special way.
I [Bbm] know Jesus [Ebm] loves me, maybe just a little [Abm] bit more.
I fall down on my [Eb] knees every [Gb] Sunday, [Bb] at the Red Lee's [Bm] candy store.
[Eb] Well, I've got to be a chocolate [Gb] Jesus, [Eb] make me feel good [B] inside.
Got to be a chocolate Jesus, [D] keep me [Eb]
satisfied.
[A] Well, I don't [Ebm] want no apples-apple, don't want no almond [Abm]-joy.
There [G] ain't nothing [Gb] better, [Ebm] [Bb] suitable for this boy.
[Ebm] Well, that's the only thing that can pick me up, better [B] than a cup of [Abm] gold.
See, only [B] a chocolate Jesus, [D] satisfy [Eb]
my soul.

[Ebm] When the [Abm] weather gets [B] rough and it's whiskey in the shade, best to wrap your Savior up [Gb] in cellophane.
It [F] flows like the big muddy, but that's [Abm] okay.
[Eb] Pour more ice cream, pour a nice parfait.
Well, it's got to be a chocolate Jesus, [D] good enough for [Abm] me.
[Db] Got to be a [Gb] chocolate Jesus, [G] good [Eb] enough for me.
Got to be a chocolate Jesus, make me feel [Abm] so good inside.
[Ab] Got [B] to be a chocolate Jesus, keep [G] me satisfied.
