  • Verse 1
    Em
    C
    Em

    It was during my 2nd senior year
    C
    Em

    when Mom found Jesus Christ. His
    C

    spirit was trapped inside an old
    Em
    C

    manischevitz bottle that Mom picked
    Em
    C
    Em

    out of the dumpster behind the 7-11. Mom

    brought the bottle inside and
    C
    Em

    sat it down on top of the TV. Then she
    C
    Em

    told all of us kids to gather
    C
    Em
    C

    round, and then she explained how Jesus lived in the bottle,

    and how,
    Em

    if she wanted to,
    C
    Em
    C

    she could call him out to do her bidding. Sis said it
    Em
    C

    reminded her of an old TV show,
    Em

    and Mom slapped her and called her a
    C
    Em

    heretic. I didn't say anything,
    C

    cause I just still remember the time
    Em

    outside the Safeway, when it took 4 security
    C
    G

    guards to hold Mom down.
    Verse 2
    Em

    Jesus loves me, yes I know
    C

    For the Bible tells me so

    When I'm weak he makes me strong
    G

    That's why I sing this song

    If I die before I wake
    Em
    C

    Pray to him my soul don't take

    Jesus loves me,

    yes I know
    Em
    Verse 3

    C

    It wasn't long before people from
    Em
    C

    all over the world started coming to
    Em
    C

    our house to see the bottle. At first
    Em

    I thought that this would make me
    C

    more popular at school. Instead it
    Em
    C

    seemed to have the opposite result.
    Em
    C
    Em

    Kids would stop and point at me in the hallway
    C

    and say, "There's the boy
    Em

    whose mother keeps our savior cooped
    C
    Em

    up in that tiny little bottle." And
    C
    Em

    then everybody started calling me 'Bottle
    C
    Em

    boy'. And that really hurt. It
    C
    Em

    was also around this time that Mom began
    C

    to attract some really weird
    Em
    C

    followers. Like that guy who never
    Em

    used deodorant and spoke only in
    C
    Em
    C

    riddles. And that woman who collected
    Em
    C
    G

    19th century hand made Amish

    swimwear.
    Verse 4
    Em

    Jesus loves me, yes I know

    For the Bible tells me so
    C

    When I'm weak he makes me strong
    G

    That's why I sing this song

    If I die before I wake
    Em
    C

    Pray to him my soul don't take

    Jesus loves me, yes I know
    Bb
    Mommy
    Verse 5

    she loved Jesus,
    F

    but not like others did
    Bb

    For she had a special bottle in

    which our savior lived
    Bb

    Mommy she loved Jesus,
    F

    but not like others did
    G#

    For she could unleash His vengeance
    Em

    by unfastening the lid
    Verse 6
    C
    Em

    As the year went on, things went from bad to worse,

    and I realized that

    if there wasn't a big change pretty soon,
    Am
    Em

    I'd never be able to get a
    C

    date for the prom. I couldn't go the
    Em

    year before because Mom belonged

    to a church that considered dancing
    C
    Em

    a one way ticket to Hell. But
    C
    Em
    C

    that's a whole nother story. Anyway,
    Em

    by this point Mom had appeared on

    the Richard Bey Show,
    Am
    C
    Em

    A.M. Philadelphia and Geraldo, so there was
    C

    no use in me changing schools,
    Em

    since everybody knew who my Mom was.
    Am
    Em

    Also we had to spend all the money
    Am
    Em

    from Mom's personal appearances to
    Am
    C

    hire a bodyguard, since by this point
    Em
    C

    we were getting about 400 death
    G

    threats a day.
    Verse 7
    G

    Jesus loves me, yes I know
    Em
    C

    For the Bible tells me so

    When I'm weak he makes me strong
    G

    That's why I sing this song

    If I die before I wake
    Em
    C

    Pray to him my soul don't take
    Em

    Jesus loves me, yes I know
    Verse 8
    G
    Em

    Then one night, I just couldn't stand
    C
    Em

    it any more. While everyone else
    G
    Em

    was sleeping I crept downstairs.
    C
    Em

    Slowly I went up to the bottle and
    G
    Em
    C

    began to unfasten the lid. At first,
    Em
    G

    nothing happened. But then the room
    Em
    C

    filled with a thick white smoke. I was
    Em

    glad my sister had taken the
    G

    batteries out of the smoke detector to
    Em
    C

    put into her Walkman. When the
    Em
    G
    Em
    C

    smoke cleared, I found myself face to face with the son of God,

    who was
    Em

    much shorter than I had expected.
    G

    He told me that since I'd freed Him,
    Em
    C

    He'd grant me one wish. And that's how
    Em
    C
    G

    I got to go to the prom with
    Em
    C

    Geena Davis. But you probably already
    G

    read about that in People.
    Verse 9
    G

    Jesus loves me, yes I know
    Em
    C

    For the Bible tells me so

    When I'm weak he makes me strong
    G

    That's why I sing this song

    If I die before I wake
    Em

    Pray to him my soul don't take
    C

    Jesus loves me, yes I know
    Verse 10
    Bb

    Mommy she loved Jesus,
    F

    but not like others did
    Bb

    For she had a special bottle in

    which our savior lived
    Bb

    Mommy she loved Jesus,

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
