Slowly dances over me, anyman’s story

Bm                  Em
Jesus had a son by Mary Magdalene 
       A                      D              A
And he rode the land like the man who went before 
Bm                                   Em
Young Jesus raised him proud, Mother Mary raised him proud
       A                        D               A
And he tracked down the men who laid his father down
    Bm                           Em          D  A 
One day the Pilate died with the fire in his side
F#m                        G    
Herod did die too, not the way wanted to 
          A                         Bm        D         
Y’see the child knew the secrets of Egypt and Isis 

C Em  (solo in B minor)
Jews are foxier than, foxier than you

Bm D A 
Any man’s story, dances over me 

Bm                             Em 
Magdalene remembered when the people smiled and had been looser 
A                  D              A 
Looser than they'd been since the day young Jesus died
Bm                 Em 
Public execution enhanced by levitation 
A          D             A    
Fancy mutilation for two thousand years of time
G           D           A
Jesus could walk on the water
G             D            Em     A
The man could dance on the Sea of Galilee
G             D                 A
Don’t you try breathin’ in that water
G                A                
Miracles go only so far, you see

(Guitar break- B Minor)

2,000 years
A         D     A
They both dance over me

Any man’s story, they both dance over me

G                 D          A
Like God loved his bastard Jesus
G          D     A  
You know he did love that bastard son
G             D           A
God loved the good son of Jesus
                                         Em  A Em A
You know he got off on the foxy daughter too

Bm D A

Bm                              Em
So you think young Jesus Christ never balled a lady
        A                D             A         
And you think young Mary never saw him smile wide & free
Bm                                  Em 
You won’t read it in the bible, but if you look you’re liable 
   A               D             A 
To come across the truth about a man from Galilee 
Bm                                      Em 
She raised the man upon the water, they had son they had a daughter
A                     D                A
She hid them from the slaughter in the deep Black Sea
G             D              A
God loved the bastard son of Jesus 
G                  D                   Em         A 
God got off on the sparklin’ daughter, too yes he did 
G           D           A
Jesus could walk on the water
G             D            Em          A 
The man could dance on the Sea of Galilee 
G                D                A
Watch him dance, watch him dance, watch him dance
