When Jesus Left Birmingham

Written by John Mellencamp

	  		     G          C                   G              C 
When Jesus left Birmingham, All the disciples went crazy 
     G          C 
When Jesus left Birmingham 
        G           C 
All the people went completely nuts 
         Em              C 
They all busted out on a wild night 
Em               C 
Riding high on a golden calf 
     G          C 
When Jesus left Birmingham 
        G                       C              G C G C G C G C 
All the people had themselves a big long laugh 
        G             C 
Well my girl, she's a walker 
            G                   C 
And she can talk herself out of any mess 
G                  C 
My girl, she don't pray 
        G             C 
But she somehow seems still to be blessed 
           Em                  C 
When those crazy nights come a callin' 
            Em                        C 
Man, she'll dance on the tables, like all of the rest 
        G                        C 
When my girl (When my girl) left Birmingham (left Birmingham) 
        G          C                    F    
She was doing what she thought was best 
Em                          F    G F G         F 
 It's all free on the inside        It's all free on the inside 
Em                              F  G F G 
Save us right now, we need you... 
            F                   Em                F   G F G   
We need you right now (itâ??s all free on the inside) 
      G F G                G F G 
Inside,  gotta get inside... Inside 

G down G down G down ...down up C down C down C down...down up 
G down G down G down ...down up C down ... 

  G                 C 
I see myself with a rosary 
         G              C 
I'm in a garden and I'm talking to myself 
        G                 C 
I ain't sayin' much worth repeating 
                G               C 
Just askin' for forgiveness and all of his best 
           Em                  C 
When those crazy nights come a callin' 
         Em               C 
Man, I'm just as human as I can be 
     G          C              G                 C 
When Jesus left Birmingham, He left it there for you and me 
When Jesus left Birmingham, He left it there for you and me 
G              C                         } 
 So let it rock, let it roll             } 
G                           C            } 
Let the Bible belt come and save my soul }  repeat till end
