      G
I was on my way to somewhere to the Mexicali sand
  Em             C               G  
A man sat down beside me, he had scars upon his hands
G
He told me some stories - I told him some lies
Em                C              G
Light shone in my darkness, cast shadows from my mind

    D
His eyes they looked right through me
     C               G  
Oh I knew he carried weight
D
Something real was going down that day


Chorus:
     C        G     D      G
So I told him I'm a sinner
C       G        D   G
He said that's o.k.
    C       G       D             F 
And I'm not here to change you anyway
F
He was gone when I turned around
         C                 G
Was that Jesus, Jesus on a Greyhound


Oh we talked about the world gone bad andhe troubles we had seen
We talked about the dirt brown shoes he wore on his feet
He said I'm tired and weary, I've been riding a long way
Let me rest my eyes for now, let me drift away

Well he acted Like he knew me
And then he fell asleep
And I had no more secrets I could keep


Chorus


Bridge:
Am
Somewhere in the sunlit mornin' I stepped off the bus in the
              C
Middle of the city of angels
         Am
And that long haired hippie was up and gone where devils run and play and lust
    C
And look for the danger
       Am
Oh and I looked at my feet and saw the shoes that he had worn and
          C
Thank God for that beautiful stranger
         D
Was that Jesus, Was that Jesus, Was that Jesus


Chorus

Outro:
Jesus on a Greyhound
Jesus on a Greyhound
On a Greyhound, yeah
I said I'll rise again
I said I'll rise again
Woohoo
Woohoo
Whoohohoo
