Josh Turner – The Way He Was Raised (Guitar)

G                               G
  He always wore those worn out flip-flops

Em                            Em
   Spent hours in his Daddy's workshop

Cmaj7                    Cmaj7
   He loved being on the water

                    G   /    /    C/G|
Fishing with His friends

G                           G
  He always listened to the old folks

Em                                    Em
   When they'd tell stories and crack jokes

Cmaj7                       Cmaj7
    Didn't talk back to his Mama

                   G
When she got onto Him

      C                         C
Oh, that's just the way He was raised

        G       /      D/F#      /          Em
Had to finish all His chores 'fore He could go outside and play

     C      /       Em/B       /       A7sus4      /      A7    /
they always went to church that's were he learned how to pray

      Am7      /     D     /    G    /     Em   /     G  /    Em   /
And that's just the way He was raised

G                                   G
   He grew His hair out when He got older

Em                             Em
     Grew it clear down to His shoulders

Cmaj7                        Cmaj7
    Started hanging with the outcasts

                     G   /    /    C/G
When He went off to town

G                            G
    Some called Him a troublemaker

Em                       Em
     Even some said a lawbreaker

Cmaj7                         Cmaj7
   No matter how they talked about Him

                     G
He never put nobody down

         C                        C
'Cause that's just the way He was raised

      G    /         D/F#  /  Em
When people start to gossip, He'd just walk away

   C      /         Em/B   /    A7sus4      /      A7    /
He always loved his neighbor no matter what they'd say

      Am7     /     D     /    G
Oh, that's just the way He was raised

       Em    /   A7    /
On a cross, on a hill

      C      /           G/B     /
That longhaired boy was killed

         Em    /     A7      /
All our sins washed away

         Am7      /         D       /     D (hold)
When He walked out of that grave

      C (hold)                        C     D  Em    D/F#
Oh, that's just the way He was raised

         G      /     D/F#
there's no way we can measure

    Em   /       A7       /
The sacrifice He made

     C    /       G/B     /
He knew He had to die 

        A7sus4   /  A7    /
For our debt to be paid

      Am7    /       D     /    Em
Oh, that's just the way He was raised

    C      /        G/B   /  A7sus4    /     A7    /
It took the hand of God   to roll the stone away

      Am7     /     D     /    G     /     Em    /
And that's just the way He was raised

        Am7     /     D (hold)              G   /    /    C/G|
Yeah, that's just the way He was raised
