Key: D minor
Verse 1
Am

Jesus lived in a ramshackle shack
A charismatic cholo, so some say,
was born playing the gay
He cruised the streets of Walrus
in his low -cut El Dorado
A fine command, an old slick hand,
C
D
a branch and bow of my nose

Mother Mary said, your time has come
D
Am
Though the river's wide,
C
D
but can be fought and won
Am
C
For the very love of God and man
D
Am
Ooh, Jesus crossed the Rio Grande
Sat Him down and formed their plan
through a haze of cortecartes
Judas said, now, geez,
I know you're prone to walk on water
C
Am
But if you swim downstream,
there's a better chance
C
Am
that you'll make it across the border
C
D
Am
Well, Mother Mary,
Am
C
D
but can be fought and won
Am

For the very love of God and man

Jesus crossed the Rio Grande
Jesus made his run
D
Am
on a hot and hu mid Friday night
But his vision, it was blinded
by that bright El Paso light
He never saw that shot
C
Am
that left him short of freedom's light
D
Am
But the faithful, they're still waiting
C
Am
D
for the coming of their man
C

Well, Mother Mary,

send your time has come
