Fmaj7               Am
Another Christ is on the cross
      Fmaj7                    Am
The nails are words, the nails are lies
     Fmaj7
To make it crawl and make it scream
      Am
And make it real and make it bleed
     Fmaj7
And make it bleed and make it bleed
     Am
And make it bleed and make it dream

[Chorus]
D   Bm          A
Imitation of Christ
D   Bm          A
Imitation of Christ

[Verse]
 Fmaj7          Am
This you who lie and scream
     Fmaj7                 Am
You fall to dust, you fall to dust
     Fmaj7
In walls of word, your words are blind
      Am
You speak and you are dumb and blind
     Fmaj7
The word that is your god
            Am
Is you who fall so low and fall so far

[Chorus]
D   Bm          A
Imitation of Christ
D   Bm          A
Imitation of Christ

[Verse]
 Fmaj7                      Am
Fmaj7ly to the moon, dear, sew it on a stool
 Fmaj7                     Am
Tie it on the carpet, all the cowboys fall
 Fmaj7
See the cowboys fat and reeling
  Am
Dancing underneath the ceiling
  Fmaj7
Leave the bar, the theatre's closing
 Am
Make a wall of your religion

[Chorus]
D   Bm          A
Imitation of Christ
D   Bm          A
Imitation of Christ
Imitation

[Bridge]
Fmaj7 Am x8

[Verse]
 Fmaj7            Am
Mary, Mary, mother, mother
 Fmaj7              Am
You and me and God the father
  Am
Jesus is a woman too
     Fmaj7
He looks like all of me and you
      Am
Your money talks and all your friends
       Fmaj7
Will laugh at her pathetic tits

[Chorus]
D   Bm          A
Imitation of Christ
D   Bm          A
Imitation of Christ
D   Bm          A
Imitation of Christ
