Cosmo Jarvis - Sure As Hell Not Jesus ------------------------------ Key of B with Capo 2, ear-transcribed on ukulele by Neil Killer. ------------------------------ A lot of the guitar chords in this song are hard to decipher; I always found something to tweak in these chords after I took a break and came back. The chord after Bm in the chorus is hard to hear, but it sounds like either an E or an A. I went with E because it fits better with the A at the end of the chorus and also follows the pattern of the solo towards the end. The bridge has sort of a partial key change, and it's *very* difficult to hear the chords clearly, but the progression I came up with sounds pretty much perfect when I play it together with the song. ------------------------------ The song is played with a Capo 2, as seen in the "rehearsal" video on YouTube. If you're not using a capo, hit the "Up 2 Half Steps" button. I like playing it in the key of C (hit "Up 3 Half Steps") since it sounds best like that on my ukulele. ------------------------------ [Capo 2] VERSE 1: D Here I sit Bm If I didn't need nobody, I'd thank God for it E A (G# A) There'd be nothing that'd stop me getting on with it D It'd be me and my brain Bm E And my pain, and my shame D I guess I do Bm This carpark's only got one space and it's for you E A (G# A) Alone can show an ugly face, so pull me through D To where I won't need a light Bm To see at night E (D) Cos I'll be alright CHORUS: E Bm E You're sure as hell not Jesus, but you're saving me Bm E Bm E Thank you very much for putting faith in me Bm E Bm E Reminding me a light was once so great to be Bm E A (Amaj7) I'm glad I made a friend that doesn't pray for me [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/c/cosmo-jarvis/275971.html ] VERSE 2: D Here I wait Bm For something bad and saddening to draw my way E A (G# A) I fight to give it everything and lose I may D But I still got you somewhere Bm It's just upstairs E Maybe I care D Guess I am Bm No big and strong Goliath, I'm a wandering man E A (G# A) And sometimes I get tired and I'm glad a hand D Comes and slaps me and then Bm It goes again E (D) I guess you're my friend CHORUS: E Bm E You're sure as hell not Jesus, but you're saving me Bm E Bm E Thank you very much for putting faith in me Bm E Bm E Reminding me a light was once so great to be Bm E A (Amaj7) I'm glad I made a friend that doesn't pray for me BRIDGE: Bm So thanks, my little angel, (thank you too!)
