Some take the bible for what it's worth

Bb maj7 F

When it says that the meek shall inherit the earth

F

Well, I heard that some sheik

Eb

Bought New Jersey last week

Bb A G F F D G F*

And you suckers ain't gettin' nothing!

((((This line is all single note in the bass except the F at the F.))))

Is Hare Rama really wrong

If you wander around with a napkin on

With a bell on a stick

An' your hair is all gone...

(The geek shall inherit nothin')

You say your life's a bum deal

Bb maj7 C

And number one ain't you

Bb maj7 C

You ain't even number two!

Those Jesus freaks, well they're friendly but

The shit they believe has got their minds all shut

An' they don't even care

When the church takes a cut

Ain't it bleak when you got so much nothin'

So whaddya do?

F

Eat that pork, eat that ham

Eb

Laugh till you choke on Billy Graham

Bb maj7 C

And it's your ass that's on the line

Gm C

(It's your ass that's on the line)

F Eb

Do what you wanna, do what you will

Bbmaj7 F

Just don't mess up your neighbor's thrill
