Tuning: E A D G B E

Jesus was a Wino too Lydia Loveless Intro C G F C [Verse 1]

^CWell, some days you wake up and life feels meaningl^Gess

You don’t even have the strength

to get up and get dress^Ced Then when you do, you see your clothes are all torn to shreds ^G

And you can’t even afford to buy

a needle and thre^Cad

^CSo, you might go to church to bow your head and pr^Gay

But that ain’t always enough to

get through the d^Cay Sometimes you’ll feel bitter, you’ll say that this priest is a mooch ^G

And you might just take all of

your tithes with a bottle of hooch ^C [Chorus] ^FAnd if people knew, they would look down o^Cn you Don’t they know that it’s tru^Ge? ^FJesus was a wi^Gno, to^Co

[Verse 2]

^CPeople may ask, “Why have your lips turned b^Glack?”

“Hey, what the hell is so funny, man? Why have your eyes gone

^Cslack?“ They might feel high and mighty when I can barely sta^Gnd

Well, just tell them I couldn’t turn down one my glass of the blood

of the l^Camb [Chorus] ^FBecause if people knew, they would call me a fo^Col I wish they knew it was t^Grue: ^FJesus was a wino, too was a Wi^Cno too

[Chorus]

^FBecause if people knew, they would call me a fo^Col I wish they knew it was tr^Gue: ^FJesus was a wino, to^Co

[Verse 3]

^FAnd this here six-dollar bottle is just about that all ^CI can afford If I^D can’t find a corkscrew, I’ll just smash it open right he^Gre on the

floor

And you m^Cight call me crazy for lapping this off the grou^Gnd

But a few years ago I would be

drinking with Jesus right n^Cow ‘Cause they may not have had Carlo Rossi way back in his day ^G

Jesus had only water but he

^Fturned it to wine anyw^Cay [Chorus] And ^Fnobody asked, “What would Jesus d^Co?” ‘Cause everybody kn^Gew Je^Fsus

was a wino, t^Coo ^FNo, nobody asked, “What would ^CJesus do?” ‘Cause everybody knew J^Gesus ^F was a wino, to^Co

^CAh^F h^Cuh^Fhhhhh ah huh
