[A] [D] [Bm]
[G] [A]
[D] Preacher gave [C#m] it to [Bm] him when he was eight, that Sunday [F#m] morning he got saved in that [G] little church.
[D] Granddaddy [C#m] told it [Bm] at the Bible school, I bet back [F#m] then it looked brand new, not a [G] faded word.
Now the cover's torn, [D] [Em] and the leather's worn, [D] on that old King James.
[G] He took it with him [F#m] overseas, England, France, and Germany, [G] right there [A] in the middle [D] of hell.
[G] Said he read it every [F#m] night, he swore that it saved his [Em] life.
His only hope, when there was [A] no hope left, was [G] in that old [Em] King James.
[D]
[Bm] [G] James
[D] passed it down to [F#m] Mama [Bm] on the day he died, sat there [F#m] for the longest time just gathering [G] the dust.
[D] But when life would take a [A] sharp turn [Bm] every now and then, she would [F#m] just start missing him, I'd see her [G] pick it up.
[D] Now the [G] cover's torn, [D] [Em] and the leather's worn, [D] on that old King James.
[G] You'll find on every other [F#m] page, yellow lines or teardrop [G] stains, every [A] chapter of [D] that good book.
[G] Been through cancer, war, and crazy [F#m] kinks, all the stupid things I [Em] did.
I may never know the [A] toll I took, on [G] her and that old
[Em] King [Bm] James.
[F#m] [G]
[D] [A] [Bm]
[F#m] [G]
[D] Yeah, [C#m] I'm the [Bm] one who's got it now, she said read it [F#] when you're [F#m] feeling down, and I [G] said yes ma'am.
Now the cover's torn, [D] [Em] and the leather's worn, [D] on that old King James.
