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