I can't say that I love Jesus
D          A           G
that would be a hollow claim.

He did make some observations
D       A            G
and I'm quoting them today.

"Judge not lest ye be judged."

 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.

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
