Rebel Jesus

Capo on 2nd fret
	  		
 

Intro 
G    C  D  G    G6  Em  C D G 

verse 1 

All the streets are filled with laughter and light 
        C            D 
And the music of the season 
        G 
And the merchants' windows are all bright 
         G6           Em 
With the faces of the children 
        C                 G 
And the families hurrying to their homes 
       C               G 
As the sky darkens and freezes 
         C                      G 
We'll be gathering around their hearths and tables 
       Em              D 
Giving thanks for good graces 
        C            D     G 
And the birth of the rebel Jesus 


verse 1 
            
They call him by the prince of peace 
         C               D 
And they call him by the saviour 
         G 
And they pray to him upon the seas 
       G6              Em 
And in every bold endeavour 
         C                                      G 
And they fill his churches with their pride and gold 
         C              G 
As their faith in him increases 
            C                                   G 
But they've turned the nature that I worshipped in 
       Em          D 
From a temple to a robber's den 
       C            D     G 
In the words of the rebel Jesus 


verse 3 
      
We guard our world with locks and guns 
       C                 D 
And we guard our fine possessions 
    G 
And once a year when Christmas comes 
   G6            Em 
We give to our relations 
       C                            G 
And perhaps we give a little to the poor 
       C                 G 
If the generosity should seize us 
       C                    G 
But if any one of us should interfere 
       Em          D 
In the business of why there are poor 
             C           D     G 
They get the same as the rebel Jesus 


verse 4 
       
But pardon me if I have seemed 
   C                D 
To take the tone of judgment 
         G 
For I've no wish to come between 
     G6             Em 
This day and your enjoyment 
     C                       G 
In a life of hardship and of earthly toil 
          C                      G 
There’s a need for anything that frees us 
     C 
So I bid you pleasure 
      G 
And I bid you cheer 
       Em            D 
From a Heathen and a Pagan 
       C           D     G 
On the side of the rebel Jesus
