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
