V1.

D                          G           DJesus was a Capricorn, he ate organic food,

                                   E             AHe believed in love and peace and never wore no shoes;

D                                   G              DLong hair, beard and sandals and a funky bunch of friends,

                                   A              D              Reckon they just nailed him up so he'd come down again.


Chorus:

G                                          DCause everybody's got to have somebody to look down on,

A                  G                           DThose they can be better than at any time they please,

G                                        DSome folks doin' something dirty decent folks can frown on,

A                   G                                DIf you can't find nobody else, then help yourself to me. 


V2.

D                                    G                 DEggheads fussin,' rednecks cussin,' hippies for their hair,

                                         E                    AOthers laugh at straights, who laugh at freaks, who laugh at squares;

D                                G                             DSome folks hate the whites, who hate the blacks, who hate the Klan,

                               A              DMost of us hate anything that we don't understand. 

(Repeat Chorus)
