Song: Jesus ShavesPerformed by: The RochesWritten by: Paranoid LarryAlbum: Moonswept----- ----- -----This is an acoustic adaptation. What this means is that it does not followthe recording line by line. Instead, it is meant to be played as writtenbelow, with one person singing the melody. Should somebody decide to tabthe much more complex version as per The Roches, I hope this is a goodstarting point.It may be noted, however, that the chords written below ARE in the same keyas the recording. In addition, the chords have been carefully placed abovethe syllables in which they make the most sense to be emphasized.----- ----- -----G C GJesus shaves, joins corporate America,G D GGets laid off, grows his beard backG C GStays up late, sees a TV commercialG C GAbout being a welder, makes a phone call.G C GJesus shaves, goes on an interview,G D GDoes real well, he's got a way with peopleG C GTwo years on, he's still an apprentice,G C GBut not for long, it's graduation.G C GJesus shaves, puts his best suit on,G D GGets a certificate, makes it official,G C GNow he's a welder, wears a big helmet,G C GAnd twice a week now, Jesus shaves.D D C GBlessed are the ones who make peace,D D C GBlessed are the ones who scrape by,D D C GBlessed are the ones living holy lives,C D GAnd here's to the rest of us who try.G C GJesus shaves on Sunday morning,G D GDecides to go fishing after going to church,G C GIt's wintertime, so he walks on water,G C GDigs a hole in the ice, and fishes for perch.G C GJesus shaves the scales off the fishes,G D GHas a few fillets and a couple of brewskies,G C GThinks about the girl, Magdelena in payroll,G C GDecides that he's gonna ask her out for dinner.G C GJesus shaves for work on Monday,G D GGoes to the office, gathers his courage,G C GHe's still not sure just how he's gonna ask her,G C GWalks over to her desk, sees a picture of her boyfriend.D D C GBlessed are the ones who make peace,D D C GBlessed are the ones who scrape by,D D C GBlessed are the ones living holy lives,C D GAnd here's to the rest of us who try.G C GShe says "Hello, how are you this morning?"G D GHe asks if she knows if it'll snow or rain,G C GShe notices him looking at the picture on her desktop,G C GShe says it's her cousin who passed away.G C GHe says "That's great!" - she looks at him funny,G D GHe says "I didn't mean that," she says it's okay,G C GAnd then she smiles, and they both start laughing,G C GThat's when he knows it's his lucky day.G C GJesus shaves, smiling in the mirror,G D GMagdelena is saying that they gotta hurry,G C GThey'll be late for work, and the school bus is coming,G C GBut their daughter likes watching as Jesus shaves.D D C GBlessed are the ones who make peace,D D C GBlessed are the ones who scrape by,D D C GBlessed are the ones living holy lives,C D GAnd here's to the rest of us who try.C D GHere's to the rest of us who try.
