Hayes Carll - "She Left Me For Jesus" chords
Start Jamming...
We've been [A] dating since high school.
We [D] never once left this town.
We [A] used to go out on the weekends
[A] and [D] we'd drink till we drowned.
But [G] now she's acting funny
and [Bm] I don't understand.
I [A] think that she's [A] found her
[D] some [G] other man.
[D]
[A] She [G] left me for Jesus
and [D] that just ain't fair.
She [A] says that he's perfect.
How [D] could I compare?
She [G] says I should find him
and I'll [Bm] know peace at last.
But if [A] I ever find Jesus
I'm [D] kicking his ass.
She [A] showed me a [D] picture.
[A] All I [D] could do was stare
at that [A] freak in his sandals
[F#m] [A] with his [D] long, purty hair.
[G] They must think that I'm stupid
or [Bm] don't have a clue.
I [A] bet he's a commie.
Or [D] even worse, yet a Jew.
She [G] left me for Jesus
and [D] that just ain't fair.
She [A] says that he's perfect.
How [D] could I compare?
She [G] says I should find him
and [Bm] I'll know peace at last.
But if [A] I ever find Jesus
[D] I'm kicking his ass.
[G] [Dm] [G] [Bm]
[A] [D]
She's [A] giving [D] up whiskey
[A] and [D] taking up wine.
She [A] prays for his troubles
and has [D] forgot about mine.
How am [G] I gonna get even?
I [Bm] can't handle the shame.
Why [A] the last [F#m] time we made love
[A] she [D] even called out his name.
She [G] left me for Jesus
and [D] that just ain't fair.
She [A] says that he's perfect.
How [D] could I compare?
She [G] says I should find him
and I'll [Bm] know peace at last.
But if [A] I ever find Jesus
I'm [D] kicking his ass.
[E] It could have [G] been Carlos
or even [B] Billy [A] O'Tear.
[Bm]
But if [A] I ever find Jesus
he's gonna [D] wish he were [G] dead.
[D]
