Josh Turner – The Way He Was Raised (Ukulele)

G
He always wore those worn out flip-flops

Em
Spent hours in his Daddy's workshop

C
He loved being on the water

                    G     (C   G)
Fishing with His friends

G
He always listened to the old folks

Em
When they'd tell stories and crack jokes

C
Didn't talk back to his Mama

                   G
When she got onto Him

      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               G6               Asus2                A
they always went to church that's were he learned how to pray

      C              D          G
And that's just the way He was raised

G
He grew His hair out when He got older

Em
Grew it clear down to His shoulders

C
Started hanging with the outcasts

                     G        (C    G)
When He went off to town

G
Some called Him a troublemaker

Em
Even some said a lawbreaker

C
No matter how they talked about Him

                     G
He never put nobody down

         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                 G6          Asus2              A
He always loved his neighbor no matter what they'd say

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

       C          A7sus4
On a cross, on a hill

      C                  G
That longhaired boy was killed

         C           A7sus4
All our sins washed away

         C                   D
When He walked out of that grave

      C                         C     *(optional progression)       D
Oh, that's just the way He was raised

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

    Em
The sacrifice He made

     C          G6
He knew He had to die

        Asus2       A
For our debt to be paid

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

    C                G6    Asus2          A
It took the hand of God to roll the stone away

      C              D          G
And that's just the way He was raised

        C              D          G
Yeah, that's just the way He was raised
