Tom Waits - Chocolate Jesus

Am Dm E7
    

Verse 1
Am Dm
Well I don’t go to church on Sunday, don’t get on my knees to pray.
Am E7 Am
Don’t memorize the books of the Bible, I got my own special way.
Dm
I know Jesus loves me, maybe just a little bit more.
Am E7 Am
I fall to my knees every Sunday at Zerelda Lee’s candy store.



Chorus
Am Dm
Well it’s got to be a Chocolate Jesus, makes me feel good inside.
Am E7 Am
Got to be a Chocolate Jesus, to keep me satisfied.



Verse 2
Am Dm
Well I don’t want no Abba Zabba, don’t want no Almond Joy.
Am E7 Am
There ain’t nothing better suitable for this boy.
Dm
Well it’s the only thing that can pick me up, better than a cup of gold.
Am E7 Am
See, only a Chocolate Jesus can satisfy my soul.



Bridge
Dm
When the weather gets rough and it’s whiskey in the shade.
Am
It’s best to wrap your savior up in cellophane.
Dm
He flows like the big muddy but that’s ok,
E7
pour him over ice-cream for a nice parfait.



Chorus 2
Am Dm
Well it’s got to be a Chocolate Jesus, good enough for me.
Am E7 Am
Got to be a Chocolate Jesus, good enough for me.



Chorus
Am Dm
Well it’s got to be a Chocolate Jesus, makes me feel good inside.
Am E7 Am
Got to be a Chocolate Jesus, to keep me satisfied.
