Chorus:

Em G B7 Em   Jim Jones, Jim Jones didn't die alone

G A B7 he took his people home.

Em G A C   Jim Jones, Jim Jones the seeds that were sown were

G A Em as sterile as their bones.

D Em He preached from the pulpit

Am Em socialistic thought.

D Em Help the poor and hungry.

Am B7 Don't do what you ought not.

{chorus}

D Em His congregation

Am Em encouraged blacks and whites

D Em to live together.

Am B7 Somehow they lost sight.

{chorus}

D Em They would have known he was crazy,

Am Em but they were crazy, too,

D Em drinking down the kool-aid

Am B7 like it was good for you.

{chorus}

D Em Paranoia crept in.

Am Em The cyanide was drunk

D Em willingly by the faithful.

Am B7 Moms killed kids with with this junk.

{chorus}

G A Em as sterile as their bones.

Repeat and jam

{chorus}

G A Em as sterile as Jim Jones.
