                                    C
He came into the shop and looked me straight between the eyes
    D                                 C
And said, "You know I'm Jesus", and I must have looked surprised
           D                             C
Because he said, "Please don't be hasty, no-one understands
         G                                            C
But I've got a way to prove it", and he lifted up his hands
           G       C              D
He was the man who called himself Jesus

                                      C
For a minute I was speechless, then I looked into his face
        D                                C
With sufficient lines of sadness for the total human race
      D                                  C
And I said, "You must be joking", but he slowly shook his head
    G                                                  C
And said "That's what they all say, I might as well be dead."
           G       C              D
He was the man who called himself Jesus

                                    C
He asked me if I knew a place where he could start to preach
      D                           C
And I said "Well try a church, or maybe Brighton Beach"
          D                            C
And I was trying to be serious, but he didn't seem impressed
   G                                                    C
He said, "You think I'm crazy, you're just like all the rest."
           G       C              D
He was the man who called himself Jesus

                                       C
I was really quite embarrassed, he was looking so sincere
     D                                       C
So I said, "I close the shop soon, won't you come and have a beer?"
        D                              C
Then he asked me if I meant it, and he gave a funny smile
    G                                               C
And said he'd rather like that, and he hung around awhile
           G       C              D
He was the man who called himself Jesus

                             C
On the way he stopped to pat little children's heads
    D                                              C
And taught them one line prayers to say, when they went off to their beds
    D                                    C
But mostly they were frightened and they looked at him wide-eyed
            G                                      C
And when he said his name was Jesus, one girl even cried
           G       C              D
He was the man who called himself Jesus

                                C
In the pub I asked him, if he'd tried to see the Pope
       D                                              C
And he said although he'd thought about it, there was really not a hope
        D                                  C
Then he said he thought he'd better go, he had some work to do
   G                                            C
He said he'd come and see me in about a week or two
           G       C              D
He was the man who called himself Jesus

                          C
Well after he had gone, I thought of what he'd said
    D                                C
And all his funny actions, they kept running through my head
    D                                C
And when I felt my mind was drowning in a sea of mud
   G                                                 C
It seemed his pint of beer had turned into a pint of blood
           G       C              D
He was the man who called himself Jesus
           G       C              D
He was the man who called himself Jesus
