Song
JESUS WAS A CAPRICORN
Written and performed by Kris Kristofferson
Version of his live at the Philarmonic in 1972. Except the introduction there's
not a lot of difference with the album version.
Capo on the second fret

E|-0------------------------|Verse 1:
Jesus was a Capricorn
He ate organic foods
He believed in love and peace
And never wore no shoes
Verse 2:
Long hair, beard and sandles
And a funky bunch of friends
Reckon they'd just nail him up
If he come down again
Chorus:
'Cause everybody's got to have somebody to look down on
Who they can feel better than anytime they please
Someone doin' somethin' dirty decent folks can frown on
You can't find nobody else then help yourself to me
Verse 3:
Egg Heads cussin' Red neck's cussin'
Hippies for their hair
Others laugh at straights who laugh at
Freaks who laugh at squares
Verse 4:
Some folks hate the Whites
Who hate the Blacks who hate the Klan
Most of us hate anything that
We don't understand
Chorus
'Cause everybody's got to have somebody to look down on
Who they can feel better than anytime they please
Someone doin' somethin' dirty decent folks can frown on
You can't find nobody else then help yourself to me
