[Intro] G I don't care if it rains or freezes C As long as I've got my Plastic Jesus G D Riding on the dashboard of my car, G Comes in colors pink and pleasant, C Glows in the dark cause he’s iridescent G D G Take Him with you when you're travelling far [Chorus] G C Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus G Riding on the dashboard of my car G Through my trials and tribulations, C And my travels ‘cross the nation, G D G With my plastic Jesus I'll go far. [Verse] G When I'm in a traffic jam C He don't care if I say Damn G D I can let all sorts of curses roll G Plastic Jesus doesn't hear C For he has a plastic ear G D G The man who invented plastic saved my soul [Alt chorus] G C Plastic Jesus, Plastic Jesus G D Riding on the dashboard of my car G Once his robe was snowy white C Now it isn't quite so bright G D G Stained by the smoke of my cigar [Verse] G If I weave around at night C And the police think I'm tight G D I don’t worry that they’ll find my stash G Plastic Jesus shelters me C For His head comes off, you see G D G And voila, I have a secret flask [Alt chorus] G C Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus G D Riding on the dashboard of my car G Ride with me and have a dram C Of the blood of the Lamb G D G Plastic Jesus is a holy bar [Verse] G When my babe and I go parkin’ C Fornicating in the dark G D I don’t have to think she’ll get PG G I have no worries and no cares C Because the raincoat that he wears G D G Serves a dual purpose, don’t you see [Alt chorus] G C Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus G D Riding on the dashboard of my car G He don’t slip and he don’t slide C Because his ass is magnetized G D G Sittin on the dashboard of my car [Verse] G Riding home one foggy night, C With my honey cuddled tight, G D I missed a curve and off the road we veered. G My windshield, it got smashed-up good, C And my darling graced the hood. G D G Plastic Jesus, He had disappeared. [Alt chorus] G C Plastic Jesus! Plastic Jesus, G D No longer chides me with His holy grin. G Doctors in the X-ray room C Found Him in my darling's womb. G D G Someday, maybe he'll be born again! [Outro] G C Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus G D Riding on the dashboard of my car G Through my trials and tribulations, C And my travels ‘cross the nation, G D G With my plastic Jesus I'll go far.
