       Fm
When I met him on a sidewalk

He was preaching to a mailbox
Bbm
Down on 16th Avenue
       C#
And he told me he was Jesus
          Eb
Sent from Jupiter to free us
       Fm
With a bottle of tequila and one shoe
Bbm
He raged about repentance
   Csus4           C
He finished every sentence
Fm                              Bbm
With a promise that the end was close at hand
  F#                 Csus4    C
I didn't even try to understand

           Fm        Eb9             C#    C
He left me wide eyed in disbelief and disillusion
      Fm           Eb9            C#    C
I was tongue tied, drawn by my conclusions
Bbm             Csus4   C
So I turned and walked away
    Fm         Eb9            Bbm
And laughed at what he had to say
                                    C
Then casually dismissed him as a fraud
  F#
I forgot he was created in the image of my God

       Fm
When I met her in a bookstore

She was browsing on the first floor
Bbm
Through a yoga magazine
        C#
And she told me in her past life
        Eb
She was some plantation slave's wife
    Fm
She had to figure out what that might mean
    Bbm                                Csus4  C
She believes the healing powers of her crystals
          Fm                     Bbm
Can bring balance and new purpose to her life
F#         Csus4
Sounds nice

Bbm                            Fm
Not so long ago, a man from Galilee
                            Eb             C#
Fed thousands with His bread and His theology
                  Bbm
And the truth He spoke

Quickly became the joke
   Csus4
Of educated, self-inflated Pharisees like me

Would I have turned and walked away

And laughed at what He had to say

And casually dismissed Him as a fraud
   Ab
Unaware that I was staring at the image of my God
