If pain was a color to paint on you

Your heart would be the color blue
     Am
Be a gradient from there till your body met your hair
D
Which would remain a silver hue
C
You are the one they call Jesus Christ
    E7
Who didn't know no rock and roll
       Am
Just a mission and a gun to paint rainbows in Vietnam
      D
And a heart that always told you

Verse:
C
He may not be born of this land
    E7
But he was born of this world
       Am
He was born of all the mothers and the colors of our brothers
        D
And the love that was taught to
C
you by the one they call Jesus Christ

Who may not know no rock and roll
          Am
And there may not be a heaven, or a place of which to send you,
        D
But you know in the end
