[Intro] G [Verse 1]
G                                       C                G
Well he walked into the bar room ragged pants and an overcoat

                                           G7
When at first I saw him I thought he was a joke

C                           G
When he started preaching I almost dropped my beer

C                  D                     G
I thought John The Baptist had walked in here
[Verse 2]
                                C            G
In his hand he held a bible and he had scary look

                                                  G7
He could quote the scriptures without opening the book

   C                                  G
He wasn't to good looking he wouldn't drive the ladies wild

         C              D                 G
But I'll have to say he damn sure had his style
[Chorus]
G                C             G
He said heaven's almost big as Texas

                         G7
Angels sing like Charley Pride

C                                     G        A7
And I'll bet you'll say Jesus looks a lot like Waylon hoss

    C             D                       G
And when he plays there ain't no place to hide
[Solo]
G     G
        Ah now play it up one time for me
*** Key change sharp the chords below *** G G [Verse 3]
G                                       C                 G
Well he preached about ten minutes then he gave the alter call

                                                            G7
Eighty old drunks and four barmaids have their backs to the wall

C                           G
I held on to my barstool so hard my hands turned white

C                 D                     G
He looked like he knew where I was that night
[Chorus]
G                C             G
He said heaven's almost big as Texas

                         G7
Angels sing like Charley Pride

C                                     G        A7
And I'll bet you'll say Jesus looks a lot like Waylon hoss

    C             D                       G
And when he plays there ain't no place to hide
[Verse 4]
                              C                 G
He went out the back door and vanished into the night

                                               G7
It took a quart of Jim Bean to get me over the fright

C                                     G
I don't know where he was going and I didn't catch his name

C              D                   G
But if I go to hell he won't be to blame

G                      C             G
Cause He said heaven's almost big as Texas

                         G7
Angels sing like Charley Pride

C                                     G        A7
And I'll bet you'll say Jesus looks a lot like Waylon hoss

    C             D                       G
And when he plays there ain't no place to hide

         C             D                       G
Yeah and when he plays there ain't no place to hide
