What if God was one of us .. Joan Osborne

This song is one of my all time favorite numbers. Soul filling and uses the basic Em, C, G and D chord progression.
For this song, the Capo is best kept on the Second Fret.

Verse 1
   Em        C     G             D
If God had a name, what would it be?
              Em             C       
And would you call it to his face,
G           D
if you were faced with him?
   Em      C      G              D
In all his glory, what would you ask,
           Em       D
if you had just one question?

Bridge
C           G      D
Yeah, yeah, God is great
C           G      D
Yeah, yeah, God is good
C           D      
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Chorus
        Em      C      G   D
What if God was one of us?
       Em        C      G   D
Just a slob like one of us?
       Em       C      G             D            Em   C  G  D
Just a stranger on the bus trying to make his way home

Verse 2
   Em        C     G             D
If God had a face, what would it look like
          Em          C   
And would you want to see,
G         D                    Em        C  
if seeing meant that you would have to believe,
   G           D             Em            C          G       D
in things like heaven and in Jesus and the saints and all the prophets.
