[Verse 1]

       Ebm                                                    Abm
Well I don't go to church on Sunday, don't get on my knees to pray.
                                Ebm      Bb7                Ebm
Don't memorize the books of the Bible, I got my own special way.
                                               Abm
I know Jesus loves me, maybe just a little bit more.
                         Ebm          Bb7              Ebm
I fall to my knees every Sunday at Zerelda Lee's candy store.


[Chorus 1]

          Ebm                                               Abm
Well it's got to be a Chocolate Jesus, makes me feel good inside.
                      Ebm       Bb7          Ebm
Got to be a Chocolate Jesus, to keep me satisfied.


[Verse 2]

       Ebm                                            Abm
Well I don't want no Abba Zabba, don't want no Almond Joy.
                    Ebm    Bb7               Ebm
There ain't nothing better suitable for this boy.
                                                                  Abm
Well it's the only thing that can pick me up, better than a Cup-o-Gold.
                      Ebm       Bb7        Ebm
See, only a Chocolate Jesus can satisfy my soul.


[Bridge]

         Abm
When the weather gets rough and it's whiskey in the shade.
                                    Ebm
It's best to wrap your savior up in cellophane.
   Abm
He flows like the big muddy but that's ok,
Bb7
pour him over ice-cream for a nice parfait.


[Chorus 2]

          Ebm                                         Abm
Well it's got to be a Chocolate Jesus, good enough for me.
                      Ebm    Bb7             Ebm
Got to be a Chocolate Jesus, good enough for me.


[Chorus 1]

          Ebm                                               Abm
Well it's got to be a Chocolate Jesus, makes me feel good inside.
                      Ebm       Bb7          Ebm
Got to be a Chocolate Jesus, to keep me satisfied.
