First tab, so be gentle

-----
E7       B7       Am7
Tell me, have you heard the one
          Dm                       C      E7
About the prophet with the perfect soul?
E7        B7 Am7                  Dm
The heavenly bastard with his own slasher flick--
             C               G
The greatest fairytale ever told

E7     B7 Am7
Weekly he receives
            Dm                   C        E7
A kneeling ovation from a sleepy nation
E7            B7       Am7              Dm
They're swallowing the old routine, the holy saltine,
    C                           G
And backwash from the cup of salvation
-----
G                  Am7                 F
Have you heard the legend sweeping the land?
               C                       E7
They're saying we all sprung from some invisible man
          Am7                             F
And when he finished up, he took a little rest
              C                    G
And he's been resting ever since I guess...
-----
E7       B7       Am7
Tell me, have you heard the one
          Dm                          C         E7
About the young man who died for your sins?
E7        B7          Am7
You think he would've learned his lesson
       Dm
Not to mess with us,
             C                   G
And yet they say he's gonna come again

E7          B7    Am7
He might've hit a ripe old age
     Dm               C              E7
If a disciple had not failed him
E7      B7 Am7                    Dm     
Broken, betrayed and lost, he lay alone on the cross
          C                        G
While the easter bunny pounded the nails in...
-----
G                  Am7                 F
Have you heard the legend sweeping the land?
               C                       E7
They're saying we all sprung from some invisible man
          Am7                             F
And when he finished up, he took a little rest
              C                    G
And he's been resting ever since I guess...

E7       B7       Am7
Tell me, have you heard the one
          Dm                    C           E7
About the healer who could resurrect?
E7        B7          Am7 
They say that when he rose from the dead
         Dm
He had a flattened head,
      C                          G
Black boots and two bolts in his neck

E7    B7  Am7 
Hokum all ye faithful,
                 Dm             C          E7
That's the whole fable as I was told it
E7    B7     Am7                     Dm
Honestly I'm half-way jealous of the gullible zealots
    C                         G
Who believe this unbelievable bullshit...

G                  Am7                 F

          Am7                             F

              C                    G
