A
Well Jesus was a man 

D
Who travelled through the land

A                      E
A hard working man and brave

A
Well He said to the rich 

D
Give your money to the poor

A              E             A
Well they laid Jesus Christ in His grave 



CHORUS:

A      D
Halle, hallelujah

A      E 
Halle, hallelujah

A      D
Halle, hallelujah

A              E             A
Well they laid Jesus Christ in His grave 



A
Well He went to the preacher

D
He went to them all

A                    E
He told them all the same

A
He said sell all your jewellery 

D
And give it to the poor

A              E             A
Well they laid Jesus Christ in His grave 



CHORUS



A
When Jesus came to town 

D
All the working fools around

A                    E
Believed what he did say

A
Well, the bankers and the preachers 

D
They nailed him on a cross

A              E             A
And they laid Jesus Christ in His grave 



D
And fair working people

A
They followed him around

D                         E
They sung and shouted the day

A
Well the cops and the soldiers

D
They nailed him in the air

A              E             A
Well they laid Jesus Christ in His grave, woah 


CHORUS x2


A
Well this song was written 

D
In New York city

A
By a rich man

E                 A
A preacher, and a slave

A
Well if Jesus was to preach 

D
What he preached at Galilee

A              E             A
They would lay Jesus Christ in His Grave
