The Rebel Jesus

Tono: D

Introducción:

 D 
All the streets are filled with laughter and light
                           G                                   A 
And the music of the season,
                           D 
And the merchants' windows are all bright
                             D7M                 Bm 
With the faces of the children,
                           G                                                   D 
And the families hurrying to their homes
                       G                                             D 
As the sky darkens and freezes
                         G                                                           D 
Will be gathering around their hearths and tables
                       Bm                                           A 
Giving thanks for God's graces
                                     G                               A                     D 
And the birth of the rebel Jesus.
                                   D 
Well, they call him by The Prince of Peace
                               G                                         A 
And they call him by The Savior,
                                 D 
And they pray to him upon the seas
                     D7M                       Bm 
And in every bold endeavor,
                             G                                                                       D 
And they fill his churches with their pride and gold
                             G                                                 D 
As their faith in him increases,
                                     G                                                             D 
But they've turned the nature that I worship in
                         Bm                           A 
From a temple to "a robbers' den,"
                       G                               A         D 
In the words of the rebel Jesus.

                 D 
We guard our world with locks and guns
                           G                                             A 
And we guard our fine possessions,
                 D 
And once a year when Christmas comes
           D7M                     Bm 
We give to our relations,
                         G                                                     D 
And perhaps we give a little to the poor
                     G                                               D 
If the generosity should seize us,
                   G                                                         D 
But if any one of us should interfere
                     Bm                         A 
In the business of why they are poor,
                                                 G                                         A             D 
They get the same as the rebel Jesus.
                 D 
But pardon me if I have seemed
             G                                         A 
To take the tone of judgment,
               D 
For I've no wish to come between
               D7M                             Bm 
This day and your enjoyment.
                       G                                                           D 
In this life of hardship and of earthly toil
                                 G                                                           D 
There's a need for anything that frees us,
                 G                                                             D 
So I bid you pleasure and I bid you cheer
                           Bm                               A 
From a heathen and a pagan
                         G                         A           D 
On the side of the rebel Jesus.
