D       A          G    A
I can't say that I love Jesus
D          A           G
that would be a hollow claim.
D      A         G      A
He did make some observations
D       A            G
and I'm quoting them today.
D      A        G        A
"Judge not lest ye be judged."
D      A         G
what a beautiful refrain.
D      A         G     A
The studio audience disagrees.
D        A             G
Have his lambs all gone astray?

I know this show doesn't matter.
D         A         G
It means nothing to me.

I thought I might help them understand
D           A             G
but what an ugly thing to see.

"I am not an animal"

 Anyway, I have tabbed the little lead in from the verses to the chorus
for New Test Leper, and also the chords to strum over the tab. Here
goes.

----2----------2----------4----------------------2-------2-----0-------0-----|
------------------------------------0----------2-----------------------------|

         chords to strum over the tab are....

From: Jacob Knee (jknee@globalnet.co.uk)

Enclosed is my slightly different attempt at working out the basic chord
structure of this song - (taken from the acoustic version).

(I've done it as 'corrections' to the version you already had)

>NEW TEST LEPER
>
>the verse goes like this:
>A*:540005
>
>D  A  G -A*   D  A  G  (4x, me thinks)

(This bit is more or less right - though on the slide up to the fifth fret
I'm not sure if the bass notes are being played)

>the chorus (im pretty sure about this) goes like this:
>
>G  A  B C D C(3x)  G  A  B  C  D  (that may be wrong - it's >from memory)
>
>Bridge:
>Bm A D(4x, me thinks)
>and end on Em(7?)

I would guess the chorus is:

A, Bm, C#m, D
A, G ('Call me a leper')
(on last time - just A)

And the bridge I would say is:
(Bm, D, G X2), A
