[Em] [E]
He was born to be known as everybody's brother.
He is the father's son and Mary is his mother.
[A] He is, excuse my slang, well a compound country [E] kind of guy, yes he is.
[B] Ain't no way to get around [A] it.
You just can't beat [E] Jesus Christ.
I used to crank and drank until my back was to the floor.
I take it to the limit and I try to get some [Em] more, yeah, [A] when it came to [Am] gambling.
[A] That lot got no lot of [E] rolling dice, yes I would.
Ain't [B] no two ways about it.
[A] I have been saved by [E] Jesus Christ, yes I have.
Praise the Lord, guitar.

[Bm] [B] [G] [A]
[E] Alright, listen to me.
Even though I am a sinner, he will [D] [E] always be my friend.
Well he starts in the middle and he does not have an end.
And when [A] my soul was held for ransom, yeah he is the one who paid [E] the price.
Yes he did.
[A] Ain't [B] no reason to deny [G] it.

Well he finally turned, I didn't think he was going to amount to nothing.
He used to come over to our house chasing my daughter.
[F#m] And he would go home and tell Billy, I died last night.
[E] You can just count that one out.
He would tell me nothing.
[A] [E] I had a couple like that.
[G]
Well [C] I was trying to figure out what can [E] I follow that one with.
I ruled out Whiskey River right off.
[G] [N]
And I got a good drunk sure did not fit either.
