one of us

 by joan osborne

capo 2nd chord formations: 

Em Cadd9 G D

If God had a name, what would it be,

and would you call it to His face?

If you were faced with Him

in all His glory -- what would you ask?

If you had just one question?

      CHORUS

      Cadd9             G     D

      Yeah... yeah... God is great

      Cadd9             G     D

      Yeah... yeah... God is good

      Cadd9             D      

      Yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah...

      Em      Cadd9       G   D

      What if God was one of us?

      Just a slob like one of us?

      Just a stranger on the bus

      trying to make His way home    

If God had a face, what would it look like,

and would you want to see?

If seeing meant that you would have to believe,

in things like heaven and in Jesus and the saints and all the prophets

      CHORUS

      Trying to make His way home...

      Like up to heaven all alone...

      Nobody calling on the phone...

      Except for the Pope, maybe in Rome.
