REBEL JESUS by Jackson Browne key of D 4/4 time
Intro- D for 4 measures
(verse 1) All the Dstreets are filled with Dlaughter and light
And the Gmusic of the Aseason
And the Dmerchants' windows Dare all bright
With the D/F#faces of the Bmchildren Bm
And the Gfamilies Ahurrying Dto their homes
As the Gsky dAarkens and Dfreezes
We'll be GgatherAing around their Dhearths and tables
Giving D/F#thanks for God's Asusgraces A
And the Gbirth of the Arebel DJesus D
(verse 2) Well they Dcall him by the Dprince of peace
And they Gcall him by the Asavior
And they Dpray to him uDpon the seas
And in every D/F#bold enBmdeavor
And they Gfill His Achurches with their Dpride and gold
As their Gfaith in AHim inDcreases
But they've Gturned the Anature that I Dworshipped in
From a D/F#temple to a Asusrobber's denA
In the Gwords of the Arebel DJesus D
Instrumental- D D G A D D D/F# Bm

(verse 3) We Dguard our world with Dlocks and guns
And we Gguard our fine Apossessions
And Donce a year when DChristmas comes
We D/F#give to our reBmlations
And perGhaps we Agive a little Dto the poor
If the GgenerAosity should Dseize us
But if Gany Aone of us should Dinterfere
In the D/F#business of Asuswhy there are Apoor
They get the Gsame as the Arebel DJesus D
(Quiet)
(verse 4) But Dpardon me if DI have seemed
To Gtake the tone of Ajudgment
For DI've no wish to Dcome between
This D/F#day and your Bmenjoyment
In a Glife of Ahardship and of Dearthly toil
There’s Ga need foAr anything thaDt frees us
So I Gbid you Apleasure And I Dbid you cheer
From a D/F#heathen and a Asuspagan A
On the Gside of the Arebel DJesusD
