[Verse 1]
           D               Em     
It was the second day of spring 
      Bm                  G       
and sunbeams made love to windows 
         D
in all the houses
           D             Em    
And I was Jesus and I decided to 
                Bm                 
come down to earth in the shape of 
     G          D
a woman this time
           D                 Em   
And I was Jesus, and I went into 
                        G          
the sea, and I took two fishes, and
                  D
 I turned them to millions
A                  D             
...And I took five loaves of 
              Em                   
bread, and fed a country with them,
                  G
 and I said: "Do you believe me 
now?"
               D                   
"Sorry", they said, "We focused on 
      A
your wet white clothes as you bent 
over to pick up the fishes!"
           D             Em       
And I was bitter for a while, but 
       Bm          G            D
then decided to go at it again

[Interlude]
D     Em    Bm    G      D
Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah

[Verse 2]
           D                 Em   
And I was Ghandi and I went back 
                           G
to earth in the shape of a woman 
this time
D  A               D            
.....And the river Ganges it 
        Em                      
cleared my vision and I, well, I 
             G            D
guess I was a woman again
D  A         G           
.....And I started my quiet, 
friendly revolution and they said: 
Bm
"Oh, a quiet friendly woman, super 
rare"
       G                           
And I tried to convince them "it's 
                         Bm
not a personality, it's choice and a
 belief"
                        G
And "would you give me credit for it
 and please follow me"
              Bm                
And they said: "Speak louder, we 
                            G
can't hear you when we're screaming
you look nice now that you don't 
A
eat"

[Verse 3]
          D                        
And I was Martin Luther King and I 
     Em                            
came back to earth in the shape of 
  G
a woman this time
                D                  
And I was both black and a woman so
       A
 I had two fights to fight so I was 
burned out and well, that was it

[Verse 4]
          D                Em  
And I was Jesus and I went up to 
heaven Easter Sunday and I said: 
       G                   D
"I'm never going back to earth"
A      D                  Em    
...And Mother said: "oh Jesus up
      Bm                 G        
 'til now, you've been paying for 
       D
Adam's sins
D         Em       Bm
Soon is when the fun begins"
      D         Em       Bm      
And then, she gave me a date for 
       G           D
when this would occur
