[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G Jesus, I said Jesus, D7 said Jesus Christ you're tall D7 I bet nobody, I bet nobody, G I bet nobody wanted to dance with you at all G I said Jesus, I said Jesus D7 there hardly ain't no one here for you at all D7 I said Jesus, I said Jesus, G I said Jesus Christ you're tall
[Verse 2]
G We could dribble our way down a courtship D7 Get married for a little while D7 I would shoot a little love inside your basket, mama G And in a little while we'll have a child G He'd be a little boy, he'd be a little boy D7 But he'll get taller as the time goes by D7 He'd be a little boy, he'd be a little boy G But pretty soon he'll hear the other boys cry Because they're saying to him
[Verse 3]
G Jesus, they'll say Jesus, D7 they'll say Jesus Christ you're tall D7 I bet some day, at least some day G I hope he finds a basketball G So maybe a big scout from a big town team D7 Will come and sign him to the meadow larks D7 And then someday, someday G he'll play as good as Van Dyke Parks
[Verse 4]
G He'll be famous, he'll get married, D7 He'll be happy with the girl next door D7 They'll have a little boy, they'll have a little boy G but at birth he'll measure six foot four G Each generation as the time goes by D7 Will grow and grow until they reach the sky D7 And finally someday, I say someday, G They'll bump into God and He'll say "Hi"
[Verse 5]
G Then He'll say, Jesus, Jesus look at 'em, D7 Jesus Christ they are tall D7 Jesus, just look at 'em, Jesus, hey, G You guys want to play a little basketball? G D7 Da-da, da-da, da-da Da-da, da, da-da, da-da, da-da D7 G Da-da, da-da, da-da Da-da, da, da-da, da-da, da-da
[Verse 6]
G There'll be a court up in Heaven D7 softer than the softest cloud D7 They can play all day, they can play all night, G they can play as long as they can play G Be a half-court game until the other boys show D7 it'll be a full court game and then D7 Then it's over with your high score, G it'll be over and then "Amen"
[Verse 7]
G Hey Jesus, oh Jesus, D7 Sweet Jesus Christ you're tall D7 G No, no nobody, no, no nobody, no, no nobody basketball G C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, Jesus D7 C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, Lord D7 C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, with a hook shot, baby G C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, shoot that ball
[Verse 8]
G C'mon, Jesus let's sure play it, now D7 You can play as long as you like D7 You're in Heaven, Now Heaven G that's the Hell of it, baby, all night long G All night long, all night long D7 All night long, all night long D7 All night long, all night long G All night long, all, all, all night long
