Songwriter: Woody Guthrie

[Intro]
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
Well, Jesus was a man who traveled through the land
A hard-working man and brave
Well, he said to the rich, "Give your money to the poor"
Well, they laid Jesus Christ in His grave

[Chorus]
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, hallelujah
Well, they laid Jesus Christ in His grave

[Verse 2]
Well, He went to the preacher, He went to them all
He told them all the same
He said, "Sell all your jewelry and give it to the poor"
Well, they laid Jesus Christ in His grave

[Chorus]
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, hallelujah
Well, they laid Jesus Christ in His grave

[Verse 3]
When Jesus came to town, all the working fools around
Believed what he did say
Well, the bankers and the preachers, they nailed him on a cross
And they laid Jesus Christ in His grave
And fair-working people, they followed him around
The sung and shouted the day
Well, the cops and the soldiers, they nailed him in the air
And they laid Jesus Christ in His grave

[Chorus]
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, hallelujah
Well, they laid Jesus Christ in His grave
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, hallelujah
Well, they laid Jesus Christ in His grave

[Verse 4]
Well, this song was written in New York city
A rich man, a preacher, and a slave
Well, if Jesus was to preach what he preached at Galilee
They would lay Jesus Christ in His Grave

[Pre-Chorus]
One, two, three, four!

[Chorus]
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, hallelujah
Well, they laid Jesus Christ in His grave
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, hallelujah
Well, they laid Jesus Christ in His grave

U2

U2 is an Irish rock band from Dublin, which started in post-punk but soon incorporated elements from various musical genres (funk, electronica, blues). Composed of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards, and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen Jr (drums and percussion), the band is noted for a sound built on melodic instrumentals, and lyrics, filled with spiritual imagery, personal themes and sociopolitical concerns. U2 sold more than 150 million records worldwide, and created some of the most lavish, memorable and profitable concert tours in history. Their success also helped the bandmembers advocate for human rights and philanthropic causes.
