Jews for Jesus Blues
* = alternate between the regular triad and the slash chord
/ = slash chord (normal D triad with A as the bass note)
note: many small (virtually all?) intra-chord flourishes and single-note runs leading
into other chords use the notes on the second and fourth frets on the fourth string (E
and F#). In some cases, where a chord is labeled “D and D/A,” a flourish involving the
above mentioned notes is actually called for. It varies on a case by case basis.
* and * and /
I was searching for something I could not describe
* and * and /
So I stared at the sun till the tears filled my eyes
Well I thought I was empty so I paid the cost
* and /A
But now that I’m found I miss being lost
* and * and /
I opened my heart and I let Jesus in
* and * and /
With the promise that I would be free of my sins
But I only felt guilty that he died on the cross
*D and D/A A G *D with flourish on frets 2 and 4: 4th string
Now that I’m found I miss being lost
* and
Now that I’m found I miss being lost
solo progression:
* and /A
* and /A
* and /A
* and * and /
I don’t wanna suffer and I don’t wanna die
* and * and /
I want the clouds parted in an endless, blue sky
But someone up there has a different plan
* and * and /
Now that I’m saved I wish I was damned
* and * and /
Now that I’m saved I wish I was damned
* and * and /
Now that I’m saved I wish I was damned
* and
Now that I’m saved I wish I was damned
