A E A


[Verse 1]
A                               D                A
I am a wandering minstrel and I travel round the land
                               E
With lots of silly stories and songs to beat the band
     A                          D               A
Some folks say I’m irreverent because of all my jokes
    D                A               E            A
But I was there with Jack Frost when the Almighty spoke
     D                A               E            A
Yes, I was there with Jack Frost when the Almighty spoke


[Chorus 1]
D               A           D                       A
God is from New Jersey.  He brought the whole house down
     D                 A          E                   E7
West Virginia’s almost heaven but Bayonne’s God’s hometown


[Verse 2]
      A                            D                      A
I was pokin’ fun of Jersey and the girls that can’t say, “No”
                                           E
When suddenly the sky turned black and the wind began to blow
      A                                  D                 A
I was singin’ about the turnpike and the rest stops on the way
         D                      A            E              A
When the Lord said, “That ain’t funny” so he blew the tent away
         D                      A            E              A
Yes, the Lord said, “That ain’t funny” so he blew the tent away


[Chorus 2]
D               A           D            A
God is from New Jersey.  He made it very clear
   D                A              E                 E7
He tore the tent to pieces, and he sucked up all the beer [slurp]

 
[Verse 3]
    A                            D             A
Now I can pick on Pottsville and no one really cares
                                 E
Cause I saw cans of Yuengling go swirling through the air
        A                               D          A
And the moral of this story that I have learned is this
     D                 A                E                A
Thou shalt not pick on Jersey cause the Lord gets really pissed
         D                 A                E                A
No, thou shalt not pick on Jersey cause the Lord gets really pissed


[Chorus 1]
D               A           D                       A
God is from New Jersey.  He brought the whole house down
     D                 A          E                   A
West Virginia’s almost heaven but Bayonne’s God’s hometown
