Jesus at McDonald's - Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper

Tabbed by Adam Bishop

This is pretty easy, since there are only two chords, and most of the
time it's just E.
But it was much harder to figure out what the hell he was saying!

E - 022100
A - x02220

I saw Jesus at McDonald's at midnight...

A    E    (E)
          He said he wasn't doing alright
A    E    (E)
          He said he didn't feel so fine fine fine

(you get the idea)

Said he's about bout bout to lose his mind
I saw mama humping Santa Claus
She said it was because of menopause
That's why she had to have Rudolf too
You know your mama mama loves it too (?) yeah let's go

Huh, yeah just like (???) said, I'm from Carolina

I'm in love with a lady wrestler
You know them shakin' (?) women do it better
She got me, she put me in a figure four facelock
I said baby baby just don't stop
I touched myself late last night
Lyin' in bed next to my wife
She got up she got up she started to run
Said she could, could not watch me come
I'm comin' I'm comin' baby, I'm comin' home

I saw Allah at an Arby's
I saw Moses at McDonald's
I saw the Ramalama from Alabama at the barbeque pit on University
I saw Buddha at a Burger King
I saw Joey (?) at a Jack in the Box
I just just just just just just can't stop
I saw Mother Mary at a Roberto's in Oklahoma (?)
Man I'm in a Twilight Zone zone zone zone zone

(Just play an E shuffle over this part, and occasionally the A-E part
from the verses...it
seems pretty random)

And there I was, I woke up, I was kind of standing, I was kind of
someplace out where the,
out where the Interstates turn to dirt, out past the fire roads, out
past route one-four-oh,
down, down where the train trestles go over the graveyards, back behind
the dynamo right
beside route one-four-oh.  Yeah I'm still out by Old Tie Lakes Road (?),
underneath the
water tower, I got a thousand watt watt watts of power, yeah I'm feeling
fine, and Jesus
walks up to me he says "Mojo, Mojo, I'm gonna take you some place you
need to be."
And I said, I said "take me Jesus!" And Jesus took me, there we were, I
looked around,
I looked around and all I saw was couches, everywhere I looked I saw
couches, not the kind
you want to sit on but the kind you want to, the kind you want to sleep
on! You know, you
know it was like these bonfires and big cauldrons on top of them, with
generic yellow label
top rum and just bowling away, bowl bowl bowling away way way (?), it
was going
everywhere, and the trees had these kind of beer tabs on them and out of
it was coming this
strange mixture of food, barns (?), gin, and Mountain Dew and I said, "I
love love love love
love love you!"  Oh yeah I was feeling so fine, so fine, I was about to
go out of my mind,
I saw the entire Robert Johnson, John Lee Hooker, and Muddy Waters
record collection
stretched before me and a brand new stereo, I got a thousand watts of
power, I got a new
car, it's got a second gear and I, I'm feeling find, I ain't go to work
no day job no more,
cause that's not my life, that's not my wife, aw cut it out with the
knife! So I ask Jesus, I
say, "Man, like, where am I?" and Jesus kind of scratched his chin, and
uh, he hadn't shaved
in a while, and he said, "Uh, Mojo, Mojo..." I said "Am I at the Big
Rock Candy Mountain?"
He said, "Uh, no."  I said "Am I in paradise?" He said "No."  I said is
this like the upstairs,
you know heaven?" He said, "No."  Jesus looked up in the sky and there
was a big white
thing up in the sky and there were these kind of lines going across and
the hair on the back
of my neck stood up, and Jesus said "I feel fine" cause, cause...

(Back to a regular verse kind of thing)
Cause I'm down, by the power lines
That's why I feel so fine
That's why I'm blowing my mind yeah yeah yeah
I said I'm down down down down down by the power lines line line line
lines
Feel so feel so feel so down by the power lines
I feel, feel so fine, ain't that right Skid, oh yeah
I said I'm down, by the power lines
I'm doing alright, okay, hey hey hey
(Gibberish)
I said hey my I'm down down down by the power lines
By the power lines I'm down by them
Let's go Skid oh yeah
Oh oh oh
Here we go boy

I saw Jesus at McDonald's at midnight!

Great googly boogly!

End on E
