She Left Me For Jesus - Hayes Carll
Verse 1:
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
|Chorus:
| G D
|She left me for Jesus, and that just ain't fair
| A D
|She says that he's perfect, how could I compare [D7]
| 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
Verse 2:
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
|Chorus:
| G D
|She left me for Jesus, and that just ain't fair
| A D
|She says that he's perfect, how could I compare [D7]
| 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
Verse 3:
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
|Chorus:
| G D
|She left me for Jesus, and that just ain't fair
| A D
|She says that he's perfect, how could I compare [D7]
| 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
Outro:
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
