American Jesus

             Am                              G 
He's got a cross on his neck, but he spends Sundays in my bed 
          D/F#                         F 
He's my blue jean little baby, with a Halo on his head 
          Am                             G 
He's got lips like cherry wine, and cigarette smoke on his breath 
           D/F#                        F 
He's got pretty long brown hair, green eyes that look like sex 
  
  
 
  Am               E 
Knees down at your alter 
  G                   D/F# 
Please don't fail me now

Won't you take me to Heaven tonight

You know you're my weakness 
          Am 
American Jesus, sav? me

            Am                         G 
Let's drive off into the sunset, baby we can be reborn 
         D/F#                        F 
Walk on water in the desert, make a Saint out of a whore
