Hi - these are the chords printed in Hard-Hitting Songs for Hard-Hit People, by Lomax, Guthrie, and Seeger (1967)

JESUS CHRIST
(Woody Guthrie)

       G                   C                     G
Jesus Christ was a man who traveled through the land
                      D
Hard working man and brave
    G                            C
He said to the rich, "Give your goods to the poor."
                      D
So they laid Jesus Christ in his grave.

C                   G
Jesus was a man, a carpenter by hand
                         D
His followers true and brave
    G                         C       G
One dirty little coward called Judas Iscariot
                D             G
Has laid Jesus Christ in his grave
