Toby Keith - If I Was Jesus
Album: Shock'n Ya'll
Writers: Chuck Cannon/Phil Madeira

**See below for diagrams on the G#dim w/u and
the C add-on for the verse (and other chords)

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 hanginâ' 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


CHORUS

         C
If I was Jesus  (repeat)
