Intro
Dm
Jesus was a carpenter He died nailed to a wooden cross.
Am A# Dm
Irony oh irony upon Me it is never lost.
Dm
Gather 'round now people, I'm here to tell a tale
Am
About a man who walks among You, a man You each know well.
Dm
My name is Simon Keeper I had a wife and three grown kids,
Am A# Dm
A job in the towers cooking the books for the shills that grease the skids.
Dm Am
Irony oh irony, you are a bitter fruit to eat.
A# C Dm
Stripped of all your beauty Your flesh is none too sweet.
Dm
Now I ain't the most honest man that ever worked a skim.
Am
I was caught with My hand in the cookie jar and brother that was it.
Dm
Fifty-four and a big black mark upon My résumé,
Am A# Dm
I found selling off what You don't own might earn You the time of day.
Dm
Next it was a letter from My darling one,
Am
"what's Yours is mine, what's mine is mine", Sealed with a hug and kiss.
Dm
One by one My children closed their lives to Me.
Am A# Dm
Lesson learned on Daddy's knee, "give no quarter to the weak".
Dm Am
Irony oh irony, You are the polar seed of truth,
A# C Dm
You grow upon the open plain the faithful you uproot.
Dm
Kicked around 'bout a year living hand to mouth,
Am
Then one day tryin' to bum a light. I felt My will give out.
Dm
Sat right down on the corner, started prayin' a little too loud.
Am A# Dm
Left My troubles far behind When I saw them emptying their pockets out.
Dm Am
Irony oh irony, You are a treacherous son of a bitch,
A# C Dm
Pretending not to care about the heights You'll never reach.
Dm
Now I won't start in preaching 'bout reaping what You sow,
Am
This is the story of a half-hearted man, Half honest as they go.
Dm
But sit on down and rest a spell I've got another tale to tell.
Am A# Dm
About a lost young man in a far away land whose life is just too easy to sell.
Dm Am
Jesus was a carpenter He died nailed to a wooden cross.
A# C Dm
Irony oh irony upon Me it is never lost.
Dm
Jesus was a carpenter He died nailed to a wooden cross.
Am A# C Dm
Irony oh irony upon Me it's never lost.
