Capo: 2 Tuning: E A D G B E

Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Rebel Jesus CAPO: 2nd Fret [Intro] G C D G G6 Em C D G [Verse 1] All the streets are filled with laughter and light

And the ^Cmusic of the ^Dseason And the ^Gmerchants' windows are all bright With the ^G6faces of the ^Emchildren And the ^Cfamilies hurrying ^Gto their homes As the ^Csky darkens and ^Gfreezes We'll be ^Cgathering around their ^Ghearths and tables Giving ^Emthanks for good ^Dgraces And the ^Cbirth of the ^Drebel ^GJesus

[Verse 1] They call him by the prince of peace

And they ^Ccall him by the ^Dsaviour And they ^Gpray to him upon the seas And in ^G6every bold endea^Emvour And they ^Cfill his churches with their pride and ^Ggold As their ^Cfaith in him in^Gcreases But they've ^Cturned the nature that I worshipped ^Gin From a ^Emtemple to a ^Drobber's den In the ^Cwords of the ^Drebel ^GJesus

[Verse 3] We guard our world with locks and guns

And we ^Cguard our fine pos^Dsessions And ^Gonce a year when Christmas comes We ^G6give to our re^Emlations And per^Chaps we give a little to the ^Gpoor If the ^Cgenerosity should ^Gseize us But if ^Cany one of us should ^Ginterfere In the ^Embusiness of ^Dwhy there are poor They get the ^Csame as the ^Drebel ^GJesus

[Verse 4] But pardon me if I have seemed

To ^Ctake the tone of ^Djudgment For I've ^Gno wish to come between This ^G6day and your en^Emjoyment In a ^Clife of hardship and of ^Gearthly toil There’s a ^Cneed for anything that ^Gfrees us So I ^Cbid you pleasure And I ^Gbid you cheer From a ^EmHeathen and a ^DPagan On the ^Cside of the ^Drebel ^GJesus
