C 
If I was Jesus, I?d have some real long hair 
                                             G 
A robe and some sandals, is exactly what I?d wear 
                      C 
I?d be the guy at the party, turnin? water to wine 
                                                G    G#dim w/u 
Yeah me and my disciples, we?d have a real good time 
 
Chorus: 
Am           F                C      G  G#dim       
Ooh and I?d lay my life down for you   (wooah) 
Am       F                     C   G  G#dim     
Yeah and I show you who?s the boss   (wooah) 
Am      F            C-C/B-Am-G 
I?d forgive you and ado---re you 
F                            G 
While I was hangin? on your cross 
 
          C 
If I was Jesus, I?d have some friends that were poor 
                                                      G 
I?d run around with the wrong crowd, man I?d never be bored 
                    C 
Then I?d heal me a blind man, get myself crucified 
                                                   G    G#dim w/u 
By politicians and preachers, who got somethin? to hide 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
          C 
If I was Jesus 
 
Dobro solo: (all C) 
 
          C 
If I was Jesus, I?d come back from the dead 
                                                   G 
And I?d walk on some water, just to mess with your head 
                        C 
I know your dark little secrets, I?d look you right in the face 
                                          G     G#dim w/u 
And I?d tell you I love you, with Amazing Grace

If I was Jesus  (repeat)
