Jesus Was A Capricorn
Written & Performed by Kris Kristofferson
Tuning: Standard (EADGBE)
Sounds good fingerpicked, country-style, with alternating bass and fills.
V1.
Jesus was a Capricorn, he ate organic food,
He believed in love and peace and never wore no shoes;
Long hair, beard and sandals and a funky bunch of friends,
Reckon they just nailed him up so he'd come down again.
Chorus:
Cause everybody's got to have somebody to look down on,
Those they can be better than at any time they please,
Some folks doin' something dirty decent folks can frown on,
If you can't find nobody else, then help yourself to me.
V2.
Eggheads fussin,' rednecks cussin,' hippies for their hair,
Others laugh at straights, who laugh at freaks, who laugh at squares;
Some folks hate the whites, who hate the blacks, who hate the Klan,
Most of us hate anything that we don't understand.
(Repeat Chorus)
