Chords

                        A
We've been datin' since high school

                        D
We never once left this town

                        A
We use to go out on the weekends

                       D
And we'd drink 'til we drowned

                     G                       Bm
But now she's actin' funny, and I don't understand

                   A                     D
I think that she's found her, some other man

                G                          D
She left me for Jesus, and that just ain't fair

                   A                       D    D7
She says that he's perfect, how could I compare

                  G
She says I should find him

                       Bm
And I'll know peace at last

               A                      D
If I ever find Jesus, I'm kickin' his ass

                A                           D
She showed me a picture, all I could do was stare

                     A                             D
At that freak in his sandals, with his long pur-ty hair

                         G                         Bm
They must think that I'm stupid, or I don't have a clue

                A                           D
I'll bet he's a commie, or even worse yet a Jew

                G                          D
She left me for Jesus, and that just ain't fair

                   A                       D    D7
She says that he's perfect, how could I compare

                  G
She says I should find him

                       Bm
And I'll know peace at last

               A                      D
If I ever find Jesus, I'm kickin' his ass
G Bm A D
               A                        D
She's given up whiskey, and a-takin' up wine

                    A                              D
While she prays for his troubles, has forgot about mine

                G                        Bm
I'm a-gonna get even, I can't handle the shame

                 A                                  D
Why last time we made love, she even called out his name

                G                          D
She left me for Jesus, and that just ain't fair

                   A                       D    D7
She says that he's perfect, how could I compare

                  G
She says I should find him

                       Bm
And I'll know peace at last

               A                      D
If I ever find Jesus, I'm kickin' his ass

               G                        Bm
It coulda been Carlos, or even Billy or Ted

                   A                             D
But if I ever find Jesus, he's gonna wish he was dead

G        D
