**See below for diagrams on the G#dim w/u and
the C add-on for the verse (and other chords)
[C]If I was Jesus, I'd have some real long hair
A robe and some sandals, is exactly what I'd[G] wear
I'd be the guy at the[C] party, turnin' water to wine
G G#dim w/u
Yeah me and my disciples, we'd have a real good time
Chorus:
[Am]Ooh and I'd l[F]ay my life down f[C]or you [G] ([G#dim]wooah)
[Am]Yeah and [F]I show you who's the b[C]oss [G] ([G#dim]wooah)
[Am]I'd forg[F]ive you and a[C-C/B-Am-G]do---re you
[F]While I was hanginā' on your [G]cross
If I was [C]Jesus, I'd have some friends that were poor
I'd run around with the wrong crowd, man I'd never be[G] bored
Then I'd heal me a [C]blind man, get myself crucified
G G#dim w/u
By politicians and preachers, who got somethin' to hide
CHORUS
If I was [C]Jesus
Dobro solo: (all C)
If I was [C]Jesus, I'd come back from the dead
And I'd walk on some water, just to mess with your[G] head
I know your dark little[C] secrets, I'd look you right in the face
G G#dim w/u
And I'd tell you I love you, with Amazing Grace
CHORUS
If I was [C]Jesus (repeat)
