B                         A
Muhammad, my friend, it’s time to tell the world
A                          D        E                               
We both know it was a girl back in Bethlehem
 B                            A
And on that fateful day when she was crucified
 A                        D         E
She wore Shiseido Red and we drank tea by her side


[Chorus]
B      A   E   A
Sweet, sweet, sweet
 D             E
Used to be so sweet to me, well


[Verse 2]
B                         A
Muhammad, my friend, I’m getting very scared
A                        D          E
Teach me how to love my brothers who don’t know the law
 B                         A        E
And what about the deal on the flying trapeze?
 A                              D    E
Got a peanut butter hand, but honey do drop in at the Dew Drop Inn


[Chorus]
B      A  E     A
Sweet, sweet, sweet
D                E
Between the boys and the bees
 B      A  E    A
Sweet, sweet, sweet
 B      A  E    A
Sweet, sweet, yes
  D               E
Between the boys and the bees


[Bridge]
B
And Moses, I know
A
I know you’ve seen fire
A
But you’ve never seen fire
            D           E
Until that you’ve seen Pele blow
          B
And I’ve never seen light
     A
But I sure have seen gold
    A
And Gladys save a place for me on your grapevine
        D          E
Till I get my own TV show
B             A         (E)
Ashre, ashre, ashre, ashre
         A
And if I lose my Cracker Jacks at the tidal wave
         D                  E
I got a place in the Pope’s rubber robe


[Otro]
      B                          A
I said Muhammad, my friend, it’s time to tell the world
    A                      D       E
We both know it was a girl back in Bethlehem
   A                         D     E
We both know it was a girl back in Bethlehem
   A                        D      E
We both know it was a girl back in Bethlehem
   A                       D         E
We both know it was a girl back in Bethlehem
