Author/Artist: DC Talk
Title: Jesus Freak
Album: Jesus Freak
Tabbed by: Daniel "Pastor of Muppets" Huber
(Lyrics lifted from aXman's tab)
#-------------------------------------PLEASE NOTE------------------------------#
Notes: This is the acoustic version so if you want the electric version just
change them to power chords. The verse riff is how I play it and it is the right
notes but DC talk doesn't play it like that.
Effects I use:
-I use a Digitech GNX1
-Acoustic for intro
-Warm clean for verse
-Metallica distortion for everything else
(DC Talk just uses clean and distortion)
[Intro]
FWhat will people G#think when they hear that D#I'm a JCesus freak
FWhat will people do wG#hen D#they finCd that it's true?
[Main riff] F G# D# D C (x4)
[Verse]
FSeparaC#ted, I A#cut myself clean,
FFrom a past C#that comes A#back in my darkest of dreams
FBeen appreC#hended by a A#spiritual force
FAnd a grace that reC#placed all the A#me I've divorced

[Rap]
F(8) C# F(8)=
higher
I saw a man with tattoo on his big fat belly
A#It wiggled around D#like marmC#alade jelly
F(8) C#
It took me a while to catch what it said
A#Cause I had to match the D#rhythm of his belly with my head
F(8) C# A # D# C#
'Jesus Saves' is what it raved in a typical tattoo green
F(8) C#
He stood on a box in the middle of the city
A#And claimed he hD#ad a dream
[Chorus]
FWhat will peG#ople think whD#en they hear tDhat I'mC a Jesus freak
FWhat will peopleG# do whenD# they find thatA# it's Ctrue?
FI don't reallyG# care if they D#label Dme a CJesus freak
FCause there G#ain't no D#disguising Dthe Ctruth
F(let ring)
There ain't no disguising the truth
Though I ain't into hiding the truth
[Verse]
Kamikaze my death is gain
I've been marked by my maker
A peculiar display
The high and lofty they see me as weak
Cause I won't live and die for the power they seek
[Rap]
There was a man from the desert with naps in his head
The sand that he walked was also his bed
The words that he spoke made the people assume
There wasn't too much left in the upper room
With skins on his back and hair on his face
They thought he was strange by the locusts he ate
The Pharisee's tripped when they heard him speak
Until the king took the head of this Jesus freak
[Repeat chorus]
FI don't mean toG# hide D#it D C
[Bridge]
(Use natural harmonics)
People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger
People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger

What will people think
What will people think
What will people do
What will people do
I don't really care
What else can I say
There ain't no disguising the truth
Jesus is the way
