Verse 1
Em 
Am 
She tracked me
back to New York,
G 
said she was with child.
Am 
She said she thought I was the father.
G 
F# 
E 
I said, hell, we only kissed a while.
Em 
She said, yes, but you and me,
we had the spirit,
G 
D 
E 
Em 
and I've known no other man.
Am 
When he came, he looked just like me,
C 
G 
Am 
and I said, I'll be damned.
And that was long before the cloning,
G 
when a man still had some pride.
Am 
It  was before all the replication,
G 
which was just before I died,
Em 
and   the internet was booming
G 
D 
Em 
and people tasted what they ate,
especially in Italy,
Am 
and   a boy and girl could fall in love
C 
G 
Am 
back in 98.
And so we named him Jesus,
G 
a name most had forgotten.
Am 
It  wasn't meant to be sacrilegious,
G 
D 
we just said, why not?
Em 
And he wandered there among us,
G 
D 
Em 
and never said a word
Am 
Until he formed his own rock band,
C 
G 
Em 
and this is what we heard
G 
C 
Whoa, whoa, I  have no fear,
G 
D 
Em 
I have no fear
G 
Whoa, whoa, it's going to be
C 
G 
one hell of a year.
Am 
And everybody sang that song.
G 
It went to number one.
Am 
Me, I waited 30 years,
G 
D 
Em 
never got that done.
He took all his money
G 
D 
Em 
and he put it in the bank.
Am 
He  remembered where he came from,
C 
G 
always had his ma to thank.
Am 
And that was long before the cloning,
C 
G 
when a man still had some prime.
Am 
C 
It was before all the replication,
G 
which was just before I had died.
Em 
And the internet was booming,
G 
Em 
cars had metal license plates.
Am 
And a boy and girl could fall in love
C 
G 
back in 98
Em 
G 
C 
G 
Oh, oh, oh, I have no fear, I have no fear
Em 
G 
C 
Oh, oh, it's gonna be
One hell of a year
G
